The Quiet Spaces Project began in 2021 as a collaborative research initiative exploring the relationship between acoustic environments and human wellbeing. What started as a small study in Bristol has grown into an international movement promoting low-noise living practices.

Our Mission

We believe that everyone deserves access to quiet. In an increasingly noisy world, the ability to find and create peaceful environments is essential for mental health, productivity, and quality of life.

Through evidence-based research, practical programs, and community engagement, we help individuals reclaim acoustic control over their living spaces. Our work bridges environmental psychology, architectural acoustics, and mindful living practices.
