Dinner with friends
Hear the people you came with, not the whole restaurant.
Hear the table. Lose the room.
Hear the table. Not the room.
NotLoudNow is an app that uses the noise-cancellation features in phones and earbuds to create private conversation rooms. Hear your people, read missed words, translate, rewind, check in, and use AI only when invited.
No new hardware required. Not Loud Now builds on the noise-canceling headphones people already carry, then adds the software layer for real-world conversations.

The pain
The room is loud. The people matter.
Restaurants, bars, conferences, and events are built for energy. They are not always built for conversation. Not Loud Now gives the table its own private audio layer, so you can hear, read, and remember what matters.

3D technology story
The earbuds become the private room.
Not Loud Now is designed around equipment people already carry: phones, headphones, and earbuds. The product layer is the table room, speaker identity, captions, rewind, consent, and AI help around the conversation.
Visualization uses generic wireless earbuds. No hardware partnership or medical-device claim is implied.
A QR code creates a private room for the people present.
Each phone becomes a participant channel for cleaner caption and rewind moments.
Headphones carry the table while the room fades into the background.
How the room gets quieter
Not just noise cancellation. A speech-first table system.
Headphones help reduce what you hear from the room. Not Loud Now adds the missing layer: deciding which table voices should be active, keeping idle microphones from adding more room noise, and using captions and rewind when words still get missed.
Phones, earbuds, and headsets help pick up the people who joined the table.
The table should transmit voices, not every copy of the same restaurant noise.
A host room can prioritize active speakers and keep the group easier to follow.
Live captions and rewind turn imperfect audio into a recoverable conversation.
Product demo
Every voice gets a channel.
Not Loud Now treats each person like a separate track. That means clearer audio, better captions, cleaner recording, and AI that understands who said what.
