Keep the Peace: How Layla’s Noise Notifications Work

Ever wondered how Layla helps you keep your property calm and comfortable?
Our noise detection feature quietly monitors sound levels in the background and alerts you when things get too loud — before it becomes a problem.

Here’s how it works

1. How Quickly Do You Want to Be Notified?

Layla lets you choose how soon you’d like to be alerted after it detects continuous noise.

• 1 Minute:
  Receive alerts right away. Perfect for quiet spaces, bedrooms, or nighttime hours.
• 5 Minutes:
  A balanced option that avoids too many notifications. Great for everyday use.
• 10 Minutes:
  Fewer alerts, ideal for busier areas like living rooms or shared spaces.

💡 Tip: The shorter the time you choose, the faster Layla will notify you when sound levels stay high.

2. Choosing the Noise Type

Every home or rental space has its own rhythm — so Layla gives you the flexibility to choose which type of noise you care about most.

• 🎉 Loud Noise:
  May signal a party, loud music, or crowd activity.
  Use this setting if you only want alerts for serious disturbances.
• 🗣️ Medium Noise:
  Could indicate conversation, background music, or a small gathering.
  Perfect for staying aware of moderate activity without being overwhelmed by notifications.

💬 Pro Tip: Choose Loud Noise for stricter control, or Medium Noise to simply stay informed when guests are active.

3. Set Your Custom Alert Hours

Not all hours are equal when it comes to noise.
With Custom Alert Hours, you can choose when you want to receive notifications — for example, during quiet hours from 22:00 to 07:00.

That way, Layla stays silent during the day when normal activity is expected, and steps in only when you need peace at night.

4. Your Privacy Is Always Protected

Layla measures only sound levels, never actual conversations.
We don’t record, store, or analyze voices — just the decibel levels to understand how loud it is.

You stay informed, your guests stay comfortable, and everyone’s privacy stays intact.

Why It Matters

Whether you manage vacation rentals, shared properties, or your own home, Layla’s noise notifications help you prevent problems before they escalate.
It’s an easy, reliable way to protect your space — and your peace of mind!
