Despite the limitations imposed on us by Covid-19, we have remained resolute in our aims of continuing to share knowledge, build upon the extensive support already given to our membership, facilitating continued networking and collaboration, and continuing to support our members. Since 1st September 2020 we have organised a series of topical and successful ASSC Talks, attended by an enormous number of ASSC members and non-members and which will continue in 2021 on a regular basis.

Contributions by the many speakers and panellists as well as our sponsors and supporters of the Talks and ASSC in general, is very much appreciated.

Useful information about Terms & Conditions Information / how guests are informed about their presence
– Roomonitor – How to inform guests of the presence of noise monitoring devices on your Airbnb Listings
– Booking.com – How to strengthen the security of your property
– Airbnb – How we are protecting your property / shared by Airbnb Community Center:
We recognize that noise disturbances represent one of the top concerns of cities and neighbors, which is why Airbnb is proactively studying tools to empower hosts while protecting the privacy of our guests. 

-The devices wirelessly monitor (Wifi required) decibel levels and notify the host (via an app) when the levels reach or exceed levels the hosts sets, allowing hosts to monitor noise levels and intervene if things get too loud. The best comparison is to a thermostat that measures temperature, these devices measure the decibel levels.

-The Roomonitor devices do not record audio, they only monitor decibel levels within a home. Additionally, hosts are required to disclose the presence of the device in their House Rules, just as they’re required to disclose other security devices, and to only install these devices in common areas of the listing (not in any room used as a sleeping space or bathroom). House Rules are visible first on the main listing page and guests are required to agree to House Rules at the time of booking.
