SonoBus
SonoBus is a low-latency network audio app for streaming live audio between devices over the internet or a local network.
What is SonoBus?
SonoBus is a music and audio app that helps people send live, high-quality audio between computers and mobile devices with low latency. It is designed for musicians, teachers, podcasters, and other users who need real-time audio collaboration instead of one-way broadcasting. On macOS, it can be used as a standalone app, and the SonoBus project also offers plugin formats for audio production workflows on supported platforms. Common uses include remote rehearsals, online music lessons, group jam sessions, monitoring audio from another device, and routing live sound between locations. The app supports connections over the public internet or a local network, with controls for audio quality, latency, input, output, and individual participant levels. SonoBus is published by Sonosaurus LLC and is also available on other platforms for cross-device sessions.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
SonoBus is legitimate audio software for real-time network streaming. It may request microphone access and network access, which are normal for an app whose main purpose is sending and receiving live audio. Because it handles live audio, your privacy depends in part on who you connect with and what you choose to transmit. Use trusted session partners, confirm your microphone and interface settings, and close the app when you are finished if you do not want it available for incoming or outgoing audio work.
Recommendation: Keep SonoBus if you use remote music, voice, or live-audio sessions. If you no longer use it, you can remove it like other third-party apps, but doing so may also remove saved settings and stop any workflows that rely on it for low-latency audio connections.
