The inspiration for this project formed from a noise problem I have while at my desk for long hours. Often I make a really loud noise or too many loud noises in a row, so I decided to program a circuit playground to let me know when I have been too noisy. I would define this technically as a noise detector. On the parts side, it is a simple set up utilizing the microphone sensor and the on-board speaker on the Circuit Playground Bluefruit and a li-ion battery pack.
After thorough research and designing, the Rage-o-Meter takes on its intended design purpose, a fundamental counter that tracks the number of loud noises that are over a certain threshold. The circuit playground also listens for extremely loud noises, that sets off its alarm if that threshold is breached. One major functionality is that the counter displays across the neopixels with each tick the circle lights up until it reaches 10. Once the counter reaches 10, it will reset and set off the alarm, letting the user know that they are being too loud.
