rSonate is an Osnabrück-based startup that makes sound during pregnancy a family affair. Two pods on the belly and an app measure how the body is currently transmitting sound before each session, adjusting the signal beforehand so that voices and music reach the child clearly rather than muffled. A sound program grows with the child, from the heartbeat to familiar voices, and continues after birth. Non-invasive, limited to 65 dB, patented.
