“I know it sounds strange but I went back to the quiet to ask questions and for advice. The quiet immediately answered. It told me that quiet should be for everyone,” he says. Thus, QPI was born.

The need for quiet spaces in urban areas has become increasingly important, according to Singapore-based blogger Michelle Lim, who deem Yangmingshan a sanctuary where one doesn’t have to travel far to “head to somewhere peaceful and quiet.”
目前，QPI已認證262個安靜園區，也有許多其他地區尚待檢核。
As of press time, QPI has identified 262 spaces across the world with many still awaiting evaluation and protection from noise.
