Curb Residential and Party Noise!

You are no doubt familiar with Airbnb by now. It’s a worldwide company that deals with homeowners renting out their homes for short-term rentals. (There are a few other companies in this business now as well, but Airbnb is the most well-known.) It’s appealing on many counts, but more and more reports are surfacing publicly about the damage, both perceived and real, that the short-term renters are responsible for. One of the biggest complaints, lodged by neighbors and neighborhoods of the rentals, is noise.

It’s normal to want to go on vacation and party. Kick off your shoes and have a great time. But frequently the kinds of parties you might have in a short-term rental aren’t the same as the ones you’d have in your own home. In your own home you know your neighbors and you probably don’t want to disturb them until the wee hours of the morning with your revelry. You might make them angry and they might even call the cops! And this could easily affect your relationship, which up until now has been pretty good. In a short-term rental you have no idea who is next door or down the street. And you’re not staying for that long, so..... whatever.

For both the owners and the short-term renters to make this work, we suggest installing at least one Yacker Tracker in the rentals. Set to an appropriate noise level for the neighborhood, and it will serve as a gentle reminder about when normal noise is too much noise. See if you can put the use of the Yacker Tracker(s) into your rental agreement. This might make some people think twice about renting, but they’re really not the people you want anyway. You want responsible renters, who will respect your property and its surroundings.

It will serve you well to be discerning in whom you rent to. While Airbnb can be a great way to generate some added income, you don’t want it to cause any problems or cause anyone to try to stop you from taking advantage of it. Yacker Tracker will help smooth the way for all of you to make the best of this experience!

Yacker Trackers are being used for so many helpful and innovative ways!

Over the years we have been thrilled to have our invention being used in classrooms, school cafeterias, hospital ICUs, nurses stations, waiting rooms, deaf schools, business offices,  and even Trader Joe’s! Lately we have been hearing of new and imaginative ways in which the Yacker Track and Deluxe Yacker Tracker are being used.

Here are just a few of the comments we have received.

“We use the Yacker Tracker at our fitness facility. It helps us determine how loud to keep our spin music which is next to a Child Care COOP room. When the red light illuminates, the instructor knows to turn down the music. It’s fantastic!

We love the Yacker tracker here at the MWR Fitness Center in West Point, NY. However, we loathe replacing the batteries. Is there a way we can purchase the 9VDC power cord to plug in?” It never came with the order."

Sincerely,"

~Cory

“I am a police officer and use the lights to teach traffic safety. Do you think the new Yacker can be wired to cycle with a three way toggle switch?"

The DEMAND and uses for Yacker Tracker is growing in ways we never imagined!

Users of Yacker Trackers are growing, and in ways we never thought. Yacker Tracker started out as being a simple tool to help teachers gain noise control in their classrooms. Yacker Tracker is now sold in almost every country in the world and used in such imaginative ways, some frankly, never expected. Exciting!

In schools they've had great success with thousands of classrooms using them to monitor sound, but school employees are an imaginative lot. For example, schools for the deaf are using them as a visual reminder to students and school cafeterias are using them for group noise control. Speech teachers and theatrical companies are using them to measure projection and even Toast Masters have used them for both projection and length of speech as well.

Of course it's been well known that hospitals are using them not only in their nurse’s stations and waiting rooms, but did you also know that they are being used in their operating rooms as well?

Business offices have started to use them to quiet overly noisy workers. Railroad lines are using them to test the effects of noise on certain towns and housing tracks. Some city council chambers have used them to monitor the length of speaker's presentations and Trader Joe's have used them as a decoration for themes in their stores.

How will you use your Yacker Tracker? Set your imagination free and be sure to let us know in what ways you use the Yacker Tracker.
