About Sorama
At Sorama, it is our mission to make the world sound right.
Sorama was founded in 2009 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Our founder and CEO, Rick Scholte, started with a simple question: What if we could actually see sound?
What began as curiosity grew into a company built around that idea. Today, we create technology that makes sound visible, so people can understand what is happening around them and take action with confidence.

Reliability starts with how we build. Our devices are developed and manufactured in Europe under strict quality and safety standards. We design with privacy in mind and comply with GDPR in how data is handled. Our systems operate in demanding environments where failure is not an option. And as a partner, we build long-term collaborations and stand behind what we deliver.
Innovation is what drives us, we are continuously looking on how we localize, map, classify, and quantify sound, creating smarter algorithms that turns your work easier. Improving the hardware and software to make it more intuitive and user-friendly. Innovation for us is not novelty. It is steady, measurable improvement.
At Sorama, we believe progress is powered by people who dare to push boundaries. That’s why we invest in exceptional talent, within our own team and beyond. We hire, develop, and collaborate with individuals who bring curiosity, creativity, and ambition. The same commitment drives our support for high‑performance environments like motorsport and elite sports. By backing rising talents, including drivers such as Richard Verschoor, we reinforce what we stand for: performance, focus, and continuous growth.
For us, fun is not a distraction. It fuels creativity, strengthens resilience, and makes space for bold ideas. When people feel free to explore and enjoy what they do, innovation becomes natural. This spirit shapes how we collaborate, how we prototype, and how we grow as a team.
