ABOUT NOMONO

Sound is how we connect

Long before we learned to write, we shared knowledge and feeling through our voices. That hasn’t changed. Even in a world of screens and endless content, the human voice still carries something text alone can’t: presence, tone, the sense of actually being there. Nomono builds the tools that capture real voices, in real rooms, exactly as they happened — and turns them into stories the world can hear.

WHO WE ARE

Engineers, designers,
and audio obsessives

Based in Trondheim, Norway, Nomono is a close-knit team with outposts in Oslo and New York City, united by a deep curiosity about how people tell stories. We believe great sound starts with great people, and we take real pride in building together: with collaboration, curiosity, and care.

Our mission is simple: make voices heard, and give storytellers superpowers.

WHY WE EXIST

Audio quality is decided the moment
it’s captured — not fixed afterwards.

Nomono was founded in Trondheim, Norway in 2019 as a spinoff from SINTEF, one of Europe’s largest independent research institutes, after more than four years of spatial audio research. The goal: bring immersive, broadcast-quality recording out of the lab and into the hands of journalists, podcasters, and storytellers everywhere.

Because despite massive advances in video, mobile, and AI, high-quality audio is still hard. Recording outside a studio means technical complexity, wasted time, and unpredictable results. Great stories go untold because capturing them well is too difficult.

Our founding insight: audio quality is decided the moment it’s captured — not fixed afterwards. So that’s where we focus. Not on cleaning things up after the fact, but on getting it right at the source — removing noise, holding onto space and context, and bringing forward what matters while it’s still happening. We set out to remove the complexity from audio production and make quality automatic.

A NOTE FROM OUR CEO

Real voices in an AI world

More and more of the voices you hear today are synthetic — generated to sound human without ever having been one. We’re building the opposite: technology that captures and understands real voices, from real conversations, in real places. Because when it matters what actually happened — what was said, by whom, with what emotion, in what room — you need it captured right from the start. You can’t fix that later.

“If you’ve ever listened back to a recording and felt like you were there again, that’s what we’re protecting. And it’s what the next generation of AI is going to need more of, not less.”

— Kristine Schjerpen Snyder, CEO, Nomono

“If Nomono disappeared tomorrow, the show would be more expensive and take longer. And it also wouldn’t sound as good.”

Jack Levy, Emmy Award-Winning Executive Producer

“Previously we were able to do 1 or 2 per week maximum. With Nomono we made 9 in-depth interviews in one week while traveling in the US.”

Jack Lennie, Host and Founder, We Are Makers

“Nomono is a complete game changer — can’t imagine my life without it. Highly recommended.”

Shaped by the same curiosity and care that got us started.
