How Frequently Does Sound Disturb Our Daily Lives

Noise pollution has become an increasingly common problem in the hustle and bustle of modern urban life. It intrudes into our daily lives and affects our physical and mental health. The core of this project is to investigate high-pitched sounds in urban environments, focusing on their frequencies, sources, and impacts on human and community life. Disruptive noises such as sirens, alarms, and human shouts are detected, recorded, and analyzed through the use of sound sensors. This study aims to reveal patterns of noise disturbance around Columbia University. Our goal is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the impact of noise pollution on urban life. And to inform potential mitigation strategies to create a more harmonious living environment.
