NOISE LEVEL INDICATOR USING

GIZDUINO X ATMEGA 1281

ApIgTo
INTRODUCTION

 The First Asia Institute of Technology and Humanities Multiversity Library provides an
atmosphere that is beneficial for the use of the students in terms of studying, research,
and more. It gives the students to explore different learnings, experience new ideas, and
get lost in wonderful stories while at the same time, providing a sense of place for
gathering. The FAITH Colleges Multiversity Library is a unique and valuable resource.
However, the numerous complaints of every student that it is noisy in the college library,
gained the attention of the group. Not only the voices are loud, but also the chairs that are
being dragged, the noise produced by turning on the computer, the footsteps of every
student walking in the library, or the loud talking outside the library.
INTRODUCTION

 The design will be implemented on an Gizduino X ATMega 1281,

since it is the available microcontroller that the group will be
using. The group will be using a microcontroller to know the
input or the output that was given by the microphone and sound
sensor.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

 To design an efficient noise level indicator inside the FAITH Multiversity

Library

 To effectively sense the noise level that is below 50 dB

 To develop the device using Gizduino X ATMega 1281

 To improve learning and research within a low noise level in the library
 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE PROJECT

 Noise Limits. The noise level in the FAITH Colleges Multiversity Library shall not

exceed 50 dB. Since the device is a prototype, the noise level distance that was

measured by the group limits to half a meter.

 Natural noises. One example of noises that contributes inside the library is the air

conditioner. This may be considered as noise by the microphone and sound sensor.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

 To Students. This study may be helpful to the students and the instructors using the
FAITH Colleges Multiversity Library since the noisy atmosphere in the library will be
notified, thus, making more students and instructors to be satisfied while studying or
doing their studies.

 To the Institute. This study will be a great help to the institute to have students gain more
focus on their studies.

 To the Future Researchers. This research will be a great help for the future researchers to
innovate, and explore this research more. This research may serve as a guide for their
future researches connecting to this.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

 A research “Library Sound Level Meter” by Nathan David (2014), used a sound level meter which is digital
equipment with the ability to effectively sense, measure, compare and regulate varying sound levels in a
library since we are concerned with the noise in a library and a means to eliminate it via audio
announcement that is incorporated into the sound level meter. If a sound source of power is turned on in a
quiet room (a library in this case), sound will travel outward from the source and eventually impinge on a
surface boundary of the room. Some will be absorbed by the boundary and the remainder will be reflected
back into the room. If the sound source is turned off, the sound in the room will continue to reverberate
until the level of acoustic intensity decays to a value equal to the ambient intensity of the room. With this
knowledge, modern libraries are gradually incorporating the use of sound level meters in their daily
operation to monitor varying sound levels. Features of the Sound Level Meter include Pre-amplifier stage,
Microcontroller, Power amplifier stage, Voice Processor stage, and LCD Display.
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO

 It is defined as the ratio of the power of a signal (meaningful information) and the
power of background noise (unwanted signal):

PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS
 The principal purpose of testing is to detect and correct the software
malfunctions. The group bought the materials needed to build a Noise Level
Indicator using Gizduino X ATMega 1281. After writing the codes, the researchers
tested the hardware inside the FAITH Colleges Multiversity Library.
 The double pole double throw rocker switch is a three terminal switch that is used

to turn on and turn off the research project.

 The microphone sound sensor module is a sound detector that has two possible

inputs, the analog and the digital. The researchers used the analog input since

every value in the step time is needed.

 The seven segment display used is a common anode, which means it has inverted

output. The segment shows the read noise level. It is verified to be correct as it

shows the same output as the serial monitor.

 The specifications stated that LEDs will turn on if the sound detected is greater

than 50 decibel. The Arduino serial monitor shows the level of sound detected.

After several tests, the hardware components and the Arduino microcontroller

verify that the scope and limitations were meet correctly.

SUMMARY

 The Arduino microcontroller are able to read, control and project output of the
sensors and different hardware components. The researchers were able to use the
microcontroller to lessen the noise in the Faith Multiversity Library. Through the
sound sensor module, noise level were identify. The Arduino serial monitor and
the seven segment display shows the noise level detected in decibels. Through
the help of Arduino and microphone sound sensor module the design
specifications were meet.
CONCLUSION

The Noise level indicator in the Faith Multiversity Library will be of great help to

help students study peacefully and quietly. Also after doing the study, the group

concludes that in order for the sound sensor to properly function, a good signal-to-

noise ratio must be develop.

RECOMMENDATION

 The FAITH’s College of Engineering should encourage Electronics and Computer

Engineering based project like Noise Level Indicator

 Lectures that are related to this study should be more practical and simple to

understand without avoiding its complexity.
