BarkBid Turns Dog Noises Into a Leaderboard

Field notes

Participants first measure room noise for two seconds, then record a 15-second performance while live meters indicate how it is scoring. The stated formula favors bark shape at 40%, followed by continuity, rhythm, and energy; roughly one evenly spaced bark per second is preferred. The board stores one best run per product, matches URLs across common variants, and makes listed recordings playable. The page says consent is required before upload and that room-check audio is not stored.
