How ClatterShop works

Under the hood, ClatterShop combines audio embeddings, mechanic labels, and real repair histories to rank likely issues—without drowning you in jargon.

Every confirmed repair makes the system smarter. Mechanics gain reputation by helping identify sounds correctly, and car owners get clearer answers over time.

01

Record the sound

Pop the hood, hit record, and capture the sound in context—idle, acceleration, braking, or turning.

02

AI listens and compares

We extract an audio fingerprint and compare it against a growing graph of mechanic-verified sounds and repairs.

03

See likely causes

ClatterShop surfaces the most probable issues, how severe they are, and what fixed similar cars.

04

Decide your next move

Share results with your mechanic, book a visit, or keep monitoring if it’s a low-risk annoyance.

Built with real mechanics, not lab audio.

ClatterShop isn't guessing from synthetic sound effects. Every labeled clip is tied to a real repair outcome from a real shop. Mechanics get credit when their diagnoses match the fix.
