Neighbour complaints
A message at 11 pm, a bad review, sometimes a fine. Noise is the first source of conflict in holiday rentals.
New · by Atelier Arrazau
Peace and quiet, without spying on your guests.
Calme is a lamp that sits in the living room. It shows the noise level as light: green, orange, red. Guests see it, understand, and turn it down. You only get an alert if the noise keeps going.
No sound recorded. Only a level in dB.
What hosts really struggle with
Hidden sensors backfire
A discreet sensor worries guests, breaks platform rules and ends up hurting you.
A lamp is easy to explain
Calme is visible, upfront and friendly. Guests self-correct before any alert.
Three ways to show calm
Each side of the lamp carries 5 LEDs. You choose what the lamp shows.
VU meter
Default. LEDs rise with the noise: green, orange, red. Readable without explanation.
Discreet
The lamp stays soft. Only the base turns red when the threshold is passed.
Ambient
A colour for the weather (rain expected) or air quality, set by you. Noise takes over if the limit is exceeded.
Display priority: noise alert, then weather / pollution, then ambient.
Before, after: the guest sees it and settles down
You are notified when it matters
Progressive alerts: the lamp warns the guest first (orange, then red). You get an email, or a Vidproof alert, only if the noise persists. Adjustable quiet hours: the threshold drops after 10 pm.
Transparent by design
- No audio recording, ever. The lamp only measures a sound level in dB.
- Placed in shared rooms, never in bedrooms or bathrooms.
- A QR code on the lamp tells guests what it does, and opens the guidebook, check-in and check-out.
- Ready-to-paste text for your listing to disclose the sensor.
- History kept 30 days by default, adjustable.
Applicable rules (GDPR, platform policies) depend on your country. We are preparing the documentation; it does not replace legal advice.
