About Nogahub
We believe that sound energy profoundly influences humans’ physical and psychological well-being. Therefore, our mission is to develop and design innovative technologies that promote sound-conscious spaces in Urban, Commercial, and Residential settings.
Our team consists of mechanical engineers, energy engineers, noise and vibration engineers, acoustics engineers, AI developers, architects, interior designers, and researchers in Psychoacoustics – creating a team that can handle projects from an inter-disciplinary perspective.
History
Building and room acoustics are relatively modern architectural and engineering disciplines, but acoustics have been a concern in buildings since ancient times, such as in Greek and Roman theatres. Today, we spend 80–90% of our time indoors, where sound significantly impacts our communication and actions, making it essential to consider acoustic aspects within the broader context of Environmental Quality and Global Comfort as part of building physics. While factors like thermal comfort and air quality are typically regarded as more mainstream, acoustics should not be overlooked.
Manifesto
We envision a modern urban future—one that balances technological innovation with the well-being of its citizens. Noise pollution is an escalating issue in today’s rapidly urbanizing world, contributing to serious health and environmental concerns. Our manifesto focuses on three pillars:-
Citizen Science
Empower individuals to contribute to noise monitoring through low-cost IoT sensors.
Blockchain
Use a distributed ledger to store and verify raw sound data, ensuring no single entity can manipulate or hide critical information, and reward honest data contributions through tokenization.
Internet of AI
Enable scalable, lightning-fast processing through decentralized, peer-to-peer computation.
