Built a tool that analyzes room acoustics from a simple clap recording
After a lot of evenings/weekends building and testing, I finally launched a side project I’ve been working on: RoomTuned.
It analyzes room acoustics from a simple phone recording (clap or balloon pop) and generates a report with:
- room score
- detected acoustic issues
- clarity/reverb analysis
- treatment recommendations
The idea came from noticing how many creators (podcasters, YouTubers, musicians, home studio owners, even people constantly on Zoom/Meet calls) struggle with room sound issues like:
- echo/reverb
- muddiness
- poor clarity
- boxy sound
- weird bass buildup
Improving room acoustics usually involves a lot of guesswork unless you go deep into measurement mics, REW, impulse responses, and other technical tools.
So I wanted to explore:
“How far can we simplify acoustic analysis while still keeping the output genuinely useful?”
Built with Django, PostgreSQL, Redis/Celery, OpenAI Responses API, TailwindCSS (daisyUI), and a bunch of audio feature extraction + validation logic.
Looking for feedback more than anything right now, even just thoughts on the landing page, idea, or whether you’d personally use something like this.
