Automotive Diagnostics Program
Does your car make a noise that sounds problematic? Many do, and we're fascinated by the science of using that sound to gain insight into the problem. Beginning in late 2023, we began building an annotated training library of malfunction-related sounds for 7 categories of the most common audible automobile faults. We currently operate an API that uses a short recording to predict which of the categories that recording likely belongs to. We also develop our own front ends, designed by and for by blue-collar users. For enterprise users, we offer a native iOs app that interfaces with this API to allow automatic in-field identification of automobile malfunction sounds. We are currently building a website (carnoise.wtf) which offers this same capability to non-enterprise users, along with a pricing model that better matches the needs of these users.
Solanum-Audio App for iOs

Solanum-audio is a powerful yet easy-to-use tool designed to assist businesses in quickly assessing vehicle noise concerns. Using a professionally curated database of known automotive sounds, the app records and analyzes vehicle noises to determine whether an issue may require further attention. Developed by a licensed mechanic, solanum-audio provides fast, reliable insights, helping businesses streamline vehicle diagnostics and reduce unnecessary service visits. With a single-tap interface, no login requirements, and the ability to operate directly from the driver’s seat, the app is ideal for fleet managers, service advisors, and automotive professionals looking to improve efficiency. By identifying potential issues—or confirming when no action is needed—solanum-audio saves time, minimizes guesswork, and enhances customer confidence. Whether used in a repair shop, dealership, or fleet maintenance setting, this app provides a practical solution for quickly evaluating vehicle sound-related concerns.
