CES, the world's largest IT and home appliance exhibition, held in Las Vegas, USA last January. Microsoft (MS) CEO Satya Nadella made an unusual visit to the Korean startup booth. The purpose was to check the sound generation service of Gaudio Lab, an audio solution company. Oh Hyeon-oh, CEO of Gaudio Lab, said, “Recently, many image creation services have been released, but it is difficult to find sound-related solutions even overseas.”

Detects abnormal sounds and prevents accidents

According to the industry on the 2nd, the sound-related business is growing rapidly due to the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The mainstay of the market is startups. The industry explains that it is a good market for startups to take on as it has a variety of fields such as music creation, manufacturing process abnormality detection, and AI voice acting.

Mova Wheel is a company that developed ‘EG-Way’, an AI-based road condition information platform. This company analyzes the material and condition of the road using sound waves and AI to determine surface roughness. Just as the sound reflected by a blank wall and a wall with a sponge are different, the physical properties of the road surface are analyzed using sound waves.

Kim Min-hyun, CEO of Moba Wheel, explained, “In the United States, 20% of all traffic accidents occur due to car skidding,” and added, “Such accidents can be prevented by analyzing the road surface using sound waves.” Mova Wheel recently built a new research and development (R&D) center in Daejeon.

LOAS is also famous for its technology to prevent accidents by analyzing sound. The company's specialty is industrial facilities. AI analyzes related data obtained from various audio equipment such as microphone sensors. Loas CEO Lee Jae-hyun explained, “The sound inspection system ‘AI Square’ detects abnormal noises during quality inspection of products made at the factory and finds defective products.” Roas analyzes the sound of LG Electronics' air purifiers and system air conditioners operating to check the status of the products. In the future, we plan to increase the scope of application of LOAS solutions by using unmanned vehicles and drones.

In the generative AI field, which has recently been attracting attention, the number of companies using sound is increasing. Gaudio Lab is focusing on developing generative voice services. This is a technology that creates sound or voice that matches the video by inputting a video. CEO Oh emphasized, “There are not many talented people in the global audio industry, but Gaudio Lab has many related experts.” Gaudio Lab has about 40 audio experts, including 9 PhDs in sound engineering.
