Stereopublic is a new project that hopes to map the quiet areas of urban environments, recruiting citizens to collect the sounds of those spaces.

Just like Clerkd, that uses social and location tools to so you can discover what is being listened and where, Stereopublic.

Finding a place in the city to collect your thoughts or re-read your favourite Nabokov novel in peace is a rare thing nowadays. If you're serious about your quiet moments, however you use them, the guys at Stereopublic might have an elegant solution. Zen-seekers can download the free iOS app created by design studio Freerange Future which enables them to find and share quiet spots in their urban surroundings. When they discover a tranquil spot in their city, they can use their GPS co-ordinates to record its exact location on the Stereopublic map, as well as record a 30-second sound clip and take a photo to give others a better idea of what it’s like. The team then works with sound experts to create quiet tours of each participating city, which currently includes Adelaide, London, LA, New York City, Singapore and 26 other global cities.
