Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 4, Utility: 6)

This project provides a free hotel noise checker that scans OpenStreetMap for noise sources like airports, train tracks, and busy roads within 4 km, generating a quiet score from 0 to 100. It is interesting because it solves a specific, real-world problem for travelers using publicly available data in a novel application. The approach is straightforward but fills a niche gap for hotel comparison utilities.

Target audience: travelers
