PROJECT DEFINITION

---

Subject

Engineering and technology > (environment/climate)

Description

There are various kinds of pollution that get often on the first page of newspapers. Noise pollution instead is rarely cited, but it's something that constantly surrounds us even if we are not aware of. WideNoise will help you to better understand the soundscape around you & live a healthier life. (Ever heard of sound pollution? (Nov. 6, 2013)

Purpose.

Collect noise data and allow users and others to visualize data and compare. This application was implemented with the The EveryAware platform. This platform has been explicitly designed to support subjective impressions in conjunction with sensor data acquisition by introducing a extendable data concept. A central server efficiently collects, analyses and visualizes data sent from the arbitrary sources
