Noise pollution has really started to gain importance due to high population density. A normal human ear could hear sound levels from 0dB to 140dB in which sound levels from 120dB to 140dB are considered to be noise. Loudness or sound levels are commonly measured in decibel(dB), we have some instruments which could measure the sound signals in dB but these meters are slightly expensive and sadly we do not have an out of box sensor module to measure sound levels in decibels. And it is not economical to purchase expensive microphones for a small Arduino project which should measure the sound level in a small classroom or living room.
So in this project we will use a normal Electret Condenser microphone with Arduino and try measuring the sound or noise pollution level in dB as close as possible to the actual value. We will use a normal amplifier circuit to amplify the sound signals and feed it to Arduino in which we will use regression method to calculate the sound signals in dB. To check if the values obtained are correct we can use the “Sound Meter” android application, if you have a better meter you can use that for calibration. Do note that this project does not aim to measure dB accurately and will just give values as close as possible to the actual value.
