Microbit: Our idea

Elyse and i’s idea was to code a device where when the music or sound in a room gets too loud, a buzzer will go off to let us know. Our reasoning behind it was that people who listen to music at a loud/dangerous volume, it could cause long term damage to their ears. Most teenagers use earbuds and listen to music at a very high volume without realizing what could happen. Older people, band teachers and musicians are exposed to loud music on a daily. The sensor will be attached to the speaker so when the volume is over 70%, it will buzz. To improve our idea we need to find a song with a loud bass and make sure the volume on the buzzer is the same as the volume on the speaker.
