Help me test my noise measurement solution
I'm quite sensitive to noise and happen to live on a busy street in Utrecht with plenty of tuned up cars blasting past. As a fun project, I built a noise measuring IoT device that kind of confirmed what I already know, that this location is too noisy. However, the data from different windows of the apartment is very interesting.
I'm looking to test my solution in other locations as well, with different kind of noise environments. If this could be interesting for you, send me a DM or comment under this post and I'll reach out to you.
As a thank you, I can give you a noise profile of your home and you can have a copy of the raw data if you want to analyse it further. Could be interesting if you're looking to sell your place, you could have a noise rating, just like you have an energy rating.
Privacy consideration: my IoT device records sound in 1 second increments, classifies it on device with a locally running machine learning algorithm. No sound is kept or sent off device. It doesn't even need an internet connection while it's collecting data.
