SoniControl 2.0.1

The emergence of novel technologies such as Silverpush highlights the growing role of ultrasonic sound in device communication. More devices than ever now utilize this inaudible communication channel, enabling not only pairing and information exchange but also user tracking across multiple devices—similar to how cookies function on the web. Any device equipped with a microphone and speaker has the capability to transmit and receive ultrasonic signals, often occurring without the user's knowledge.

SoniControl stands out as a pioneering firewall designed to detect ultrasonic activity. It promptly notifies users and provides the option to block this information transfer, thereby serving as a tool for privacy protection. Additionally, SoniControl offers advanced diagnostic capabilities, visualizing ultrasonic activity through spectrograms while allowing users to listen to these inaudible sounds in a perceivable range. The application further enhances user experience by mapping firewall rules geographically, providing a clearer overview of potential privacy concerns.
