In the modern age, sound is everywhere — concerts, headphones, cities, workplaces. And it's costing us our hearing. We're here to change that through education, artist partnerships, and venue certification.
We've normalized the ringing in our ears after concerts. We've accepted that our grandparents can't hear us. We've ignored the warnings because the damage is invisible and the symptoms are delayed.
The Safe Sound Collective exists to change the culture of sound — starting with education, expanding through the artists and venues that shape how we experience music, and eventually reaching every workplace, transit hub, and city street where dangerous noise exists.
We built the Safe Sound Guide — a free, interactive resource that teaches people about decibels, hearing damage, and protection. No medical jargon. No fear tactics. Just clear science and practical tools for anyone who experiences loud sound.

We're certifying venues with decibel monitoring, enforced noise limits, and available hearing protection for every attendee. When the people who create the sound lead by example, fans follow.
The epidemic extends beyond concerts — construction sites, factories, airports, subway platforms, open offices. We'll bring the same education-first approach to industrial settings, workplaces, and commuter hubs. Everywhere sound exists, protection should too.
