INTRODUCTION

When we're on the go, we're surrounded by noise. It is particularly

a problem when you are on the phone, listening to music, especially when
you are in school or in your school library to make some research about
your assignment and because it was too noisy it will cause hard to
understand for somebody. When the environment becomes noisy, you
can’t concentrate of what you are doing.

Noise has been frequently associated with loud sounds but sounds
need not be loud to be disturbing, intrusive, and bothersome. Rather noise
should be defined as unwanted, uncontrollable or unpredictable sounds
that intrude upon our activities. Noisy neighbors can make it difficult for a
child to read, do homework or fall asleep. Several students whispering in
the classroom can make it especially difficult for the teacher to transmit
information to those children who are listening. A passing elevated train or
an overhead jet can bring classroom teaching to a halt.

Despite the information provided by the many studies that have

confirmed the adverse impact of noise on classroom learning too many of
our nation's children are still attending schools situated near noisy
highways and elevated trains and within the paths of roaring overhead
jets.

Many of the most disruptive noise sources are not external to the
school, such as jets overhead, but internal. Heat pumps, air-conditioners,
and air-handling systems are major classroom noise sources, sometimes
located only feet from students.

A host of classroom appliances may distract students and make

hearing the teacher difficult, including computers, printers, and projectors.
Finally, poor acoustical design unnecessarily creates poor learning
environments. Open school plans, poor choices for walls, ceiling, and floor
materials and inappropriate location of noisy equipment all lead to
impoverished learning environments. Good acoustical design seeks to
minimize noise while enhancing the sound transmission between the
teacher and students.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The proposed Noise Detector is to be design as an instructional

device for classroom teachers to use in achieving academic excellence in
the process of educating students. While academic excellence is
dependent upon many factors, no one in the teaching profession would
deny that good discipline is a vital factor. Likewise, educators recognize
that controlling noise in the classroom is a major factor in maintaining
good discipline.

By invention provides a means for classroom teachers to control

noise in the classroom immediately upon utilization of the device, and
further, it provides a means whereby teachers can instruct the students to
accept responsibility themselves for controlling noise in the classroom and
keeping it below disruptive levels.

A noise detector is a device to use in detecting noise in a certain

area or room. Detection device can be set or program accordingly to a
desired level of noise or decibels (db) to activate the alarm for the
detector.
 A noise detector is a device that can use in establishment such as
school’s to maintain peace and quiet around the campus. Let’s make the
Pamantasan ng Montalban as an example, we all know that there are far
too many students in one building of the school, with that given the
expectancy of noise are high. And whenever such commotion occurs,
classes and students that are seriously studying are being disturbed. If
there are noise detectors installed in the building it can automatically give
warning to those noisy students.

We can consider noise detector as becoming a primary tool in

upgrading the standards of the school and also a primary tool on teaching
the students some real manner on to never make any disturbing noise
when classes are on going.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

alarm depending on the dB it senses.

 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

One of the major dilemmas that a school has is the load noise that
is coming from the students. They have no professors, so the only thing
they do is making loud noises. Because of this, some classes are being
disturbed inside the school. With all the non-sense noise occurring, it may
obviously affect the school standards and credibility, and it’s not a good
thing to lower school credibility with such pity reason. And if too much
noise was occurring, many teachers and students that are studying on
their lessons won’t focus much because of the disturbing noise. Noises
are very disturbing no matter how hard you ignore it. It will surely affect
your concentration and focus.

Problems Caused by Environmental Noise

There are three problems that occur due to environmental noise.

 The first problem is that environmental noise masks the fainter

understanding of the students.

 The second problem is that the soft speech sounds, critical to speech
intelligibility, are the first to be masked — giving everyone a hearing
impairment — making it more difficult and fatiguing to understand a class
conversation.

 The third problem is that professors need to turn up the volume of their
voice in order to hear, and then leave it turned up, either because they
become accustomed to the high noise level of their classroom, or do not
want to be bothered with continually going outside his classroom to
prohibit adjusting the volume in response to continually fluctuating noise
levels
OBJECTIVES

A. General Objective

The proposed project’s primary objective is to create a device which can

detect noise and will alarm the people in a certain area.

B. Specific Objectives

1. to be able the students noticed the sounds they made if it will caused
disturbance to others.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

An installation of a noise detector on a school area is needed.

Noise isolation is a must to avoid destruction and commotion around the
campus area. The study is very important mostly for the administration of
the school.

We noticed that one of the major problem of the school are the
noises that came from the students. Some teachers are very disturbed
and can’t focus much on the lesson. If only there’s a noise detector
installed then there’s something to contain the noise.
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

This device has an ability to detect the required decibel needed to

make it alarm which is 70dB or higher. In this way we can avoid disturbing
noises.

This device cannot actually directly keep the noise away from the
school. For it gives signal to the signals to the students for them to lessen
their noise.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Noise- means any unwanted sound

Decibel- is a logarithmic unit of measurement that expresses the

magnitude of a physical quantity (usually power or intensity) relative to a
specified or implied reference level

Minimize- to reduce something to the lowest possible amount or degree

Commotion- a scene of noisy confusion or activity

Simultaneously- done, happening, or existing at the same time

Dilemmas- a situation in which somebody must choose one of two or

more unsatisfactory alternatives
