Our sound map

In the last few weeks, first year students have learnt about the differences between, sound and noise. They also looked into the sources of noise pollution in their neighbourhood and at home in order to be aware of  this invisible pollutant.

After that, they created their own sound map with Padlet Maps, an online application. Here they uploaded a recording of the streets they live in to show their particular sound environment. They have  also registered maxímun and minimun levels of noise in decibels, after using a soundmeter application for several days.
