If I could get to know the average volume of several places in this town, I would simultaneously isolate the low level areas. Following this thought, I picked some example positions, where I recorded one minute of the noise in the morning, the early afternoon an evening over 3 days. So I got 9 audio files for every position, from which I calculated the average. Unfortunately I don't have a standardized measurement microphone, so I had to assign the results to numbers on a relative scale from 1 to 9, where 1 equals about -68dB and 9 about -20dB, according to the sensitivity of my mic (Zoom H4).<br> | If I could get to know the average volume of several places in this town, I would simultaneously isolate the low level areas.
