NoiseGuard

The Project

NoiseGuard utilizes a sound sensor and a seven-segment display to monitor classroom noise levels, displaying '1' when noise exceeds acceptable levels (2 decibels), prompting students to reduce noise and maintain a conducive learning environment.

We chose to create this project to address the common issue of noise disruption in classrooms, aiming to empower students to self-regulate their noise levels and maintain a conducive learning environment by providing real-time feedback on noise levels.

Integrating the sound sensor with the seven-segment display for real-time noise monitoring posed a challenge, resolved through careful calibration and code refinement.

With more time, we might enhance the project by adding features such as a visual indicator to signal when noise levels exceed the acceptable threshold, along with incorporating a mechanism for tracking noise trends over time to encourage long-term noise management in the classroom.
