About the Decibel Meter

The invitation is to remain fully silent during your stay.

The decibel meter measures the sound level inside the cabin only. It does not record sound — it measures volume. Whether you choose to stay silent outside the cabin as well is up to you, though we highly recommend it for the full experience.
 

Very soft whispering can stay below 45 dB. Normal conversation will exceed it. Sounds such as moving furniture, preparing firewood, or snoring may temporarily raise the level — this is completely natural and part of living in the space. The quiet challenge is simply about not speaking. You can follow the sound level in real time on the device throughout your stay.

​

At the end of your stay, you evaluate for yourselves how you experienced the challenge and share with Daniel & Carmen Faunbäck whether you feel you managed to stay quiet.

This conversation is also an opportunity to share how the experience felt, what you noticed, and what insights you might have had.
 

It is meant to be a playful and meaningful challenge! - a way to experience quiet with more consciously and make it more real and engaging because you actually are measured.
