Netflix famously keeps its viewing numbers under lock and key, but there is one company that believes it has broken through the combination.
SymphonyAM has an app that listens to sounds from users' televisions and takes that data to extrapolate viewership. As of March, the company boasts about 20,000 users.

It's also important to point out that Netflix has called the data "remarkably inaccurate," though it hasn't furnished its own set of numbers yet.
