“We’re using this as a noise level detector in our the lobby of our school as a tool to give the kids visual feedback about the noise level they’re making”- author. Eric Harris-Braun menyatakan di blognya bahwa pembuatan proyek arduino ini adalah untuk mengukur besar suara siswa-siswa yang ada di lobi sekolah. Seperti yang kita ketahui lobi sekolah merupakan salah satu tempat yang lumayan ramai dan tidak memungkiri untuk tempat yang sangat ribut. Eric membuat proyek arduino ini untuk mengukur keributan mereka kemudia memberikannya balik kepada mereka agar mereka mengetahui level keributan yang mereka capai selama di lobi sekolah.
1.2 Tujuan dan Manfaat
Proyek ini bertujuan untuk “school that wants to provide visual feedback to students when they are being too loud”-author. Proyek ini bertujuan dalam umpan balik terhadap level keributan yang diciptakan siswa di lobi-lobi sekolah.

230 ohm (for IR led) capacitors: 470uf 16v; 0.1uf 50v; 22uf 25v Dual op amp IC: TLC272
2.2 Skema Alat
2.3 Cara Kerja Alat
“The “alarm” is a string of flashing LEDs that’s controlled by an IR-remote, which I reverse engineered using the the arduino itself and the excellent IRremote library to figure out which codes activate the LED string. The IRremote library includes an example that dumps the codes and code types that remotes typically use. So I just ran that example with my arduino hooked up to an IR detector from adafruit”-author. “Details on the circuitry; The sound detector is based on the ZX-Sound board. Here’s a nice post on the arduino.cc site that I used as my starting place for building the sound part of this board. The video helpfully includes a parts list which I sourced from Allied electronics, all except for the mic. The LCD is the $10 16×2 from Adafruit (their tutorial on wiring it up was great), and I also used their electret microphone. One note about the microphone is that it’s polarity matters. If you get it in backwards, it’s much less sensitive. I found this out purely by accident! I also used their IR LED.”-author.
