📢 Important Notice

NoiseBuster is no longer maintained. The project was complex to configure and required significant technical knowledge from users.

⚡ Meet mute

mute is a lightweight USB noise monitoring client that connects your DIY Mute Box to the official MUTEq dashboard. It's everything NoiseBuster wanted to be, but simpler and more powerful.

Key Features

• 📈 Real-time noise level streaming to the cloud dashboard
• 🌤️ Weather data correlation (temperature, humidity, conditions)
• 🏠 Local Home Assistant integration via MQTT
• 📊 Advanced analytics, alerts, and reporting
• 🔒 Privacy-first — Only dB levels, never audio recordings

🚀 Get Started with mute

The recommended way to run mute is via Docker. No API keys, no tokens, no manual device IDs!

docker run -d \
  --name mute-client \
  --restart=unless-stopped \
  --device /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb \
  -v /path/to/config:/config \
  meaning/mute-client:latest

Then check the logs for your onboarding URL:

docker logs mute-client

That's it! Complete the simple web-based onboarding and you're done.
