Brisbane · Independent urban noise monitoring
Some traffic noise
is impossible to ignore.
An engine that drowns out a conversation. An exhaust that cuts through the neighbourhood. From 26 floors above the street, Too Noisy records the sounds that make ordinary city life harder to enjoy.
Automatic detection tells us when something happened. Human review decides which recordings are intrusive enough to share. Listen for yourself.

Human-reviewed sounds judged intrusive enough to publishWhen does intrusive noise strike?
Human-reviewed recordings by hour: all published Obnoxious and Outrageous events, alongside the Outrageous subset.
Waiting for published data.
Human-reviewed recording counts for the selected date, by Brisbane local hour. One incident may generate more than one recording; these are not calibrated noise measurements.Hear what we’re putting up with.
These recordings passed human review because the noise was judged substantially intrusive. Start with the most outrageous examples—or explore the wider collection.
No recordings have been published yet.
Our judgement is about the noise—not the driver. Obnoxious recordings are assessed as substantially intrusive; Outrageous recordings are the exceptional cases. These are subjective human classifications, not findings about roadworthiness, intent or illegality. Read our measurement methodology and legal disclaimer.
