Description:

WideNoise is the iPhone and iPod Touch application that samples decibel noise levels, and displays them on a worldwide interactive map.

CHECK NOISE LEVELS
With WideNoise you can monitor the noise levels around you, everywhere
you go. You can also check the online map to see the average sound
level of the area around you. Do you live in a "sleeping cat area" or
in a more noisy "rock concert area"?

NOISE DETECTION IN DEPTH
We've used a sound meter (±2dB*114dB) to calibrate the microphone
against pink noise, that is a form of noise similar to the sounds that
our ears perceive the best. After that, we had to compensate for the
limits of the physical mike, which is calibrated to filter the human
voice against the ambient sound. The result is accurate within the
device's hardware limits, but it shouldn't be used for dB readings
that require high accuracy.

NOISE IS POLLUTION AS WELL
We live every day surrounded by all kinds of sound around us. We are
accustomed to this background noise, but in the end we feel relieved
when, maybe in a park, that stressful noise disappears. WideNoise
helps you better understand the soundscape around you.

LIVE A BETTER SOCIAL LIFE
As you start to better understand your local soundscape, you will also
learn how to be a better neighbor, or you will be able and point out
the higher than average levels to your local representatives.
Listening to music, understanding the sounds of the city, hearing
birds singing are all pleasures that we can share with others, and
better control with WideNoise!

OPENSPIME POWERED
WideNoise connects to the OpenSpime infrastructure to provide highly
scalable reading and writing of data.
