Key Benefit
Real-Time Acoustic Data
Stream SPL, SEL, and full spectrogram data continuously from the field. Set threshold alerts so your team acts on exceedances before they become compliance events.
Onboard AI Detection
Built-in AI filters anthropogenic and biological noise at the device. No waiting for data wrangling for marine mammal events, vessel signatures, and noise anomalies surface in real time.
Simpler and More Affordable
Traditional acoustic monitoring requires complex deployments and large retrieval logistics. Spotter Sound deploys from a slipway, runs on solar power, and expands spatial coverage without scaling cost proportionally.
Spotter Sound Use Case
Offshore Construction Noise Compliance
Pile driving and subsea construction generate high underwater sound pressure. Spotter Sound streams SPL/SEL data in real time, so environmental teams can monitor against noise budgets and thresholds without delays.
Marine Mammal Monitoring and Detection
Detect whale calls, dolphin clicks, and vessel-mammal proximity in real time. Hear real examples in the Spotter Sound Library. Supports passive acoustic marine mammal monitoring (PAMMM) requirements for offshore energy permitting and vessel operations.
Ocean Soundscape Research
Capture continuous baseline acoustic data for marine protected area assessments, biodiversity monitoring, and climate research.
Port and Harbor Noise Monitoring
Monitor ambient underwater noise levels in port environments where vessel traffic and construction overlap with sensitive marine habitats.
