Crowdsourced noise monitoring systems and methods
First Claim
1. A method for crowdsourced noise monitoring, the method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more audio monitoring devices, audible sounds of a noise event;
determining, by the one or more audio monitoring devices, whether a noise level of the noise event is above a threshold decibel level;
if the noise level is above the threshold decibel level, recording, by the one or more audio monitoring devices, the audible sounds of the noise event, the recorded audible sounds comprising at least a first audio file and context data associated with the noise event;
sending, by the one or more audio monitoring devices, the first audio file and the context data to a noise monitoring system, the noise monitoring system in communication with the one or more audio monitoring devices via a network;
storing, by the noise monitoring system, the first audio file and the context data associated with the noise event in a database; and
creating, by the noise monitoring system, a first log of the noise event, the first log comprising the first audio file and the context data associated with the noise event.

Abstract
Systems and methods for crowdsourced noise monitoring are provided. An example for crowdsourced noise monitoring includes a noise monitoring system receiving and storing audio files and context data associated with a noise event in a database. A log of the audio files and context data can be created. Noise complaints can also be received from users by the noise monitoring system. Additional logs of the noise complaints can then be created. The log of the noise event and the additional logs of the noise complaints are analyzed to determine whether the noise complaints are related to the noise event. If the noise complaints are related to the noise event, the log and additional logs can automatically be forwarded to an authorized user.

11. A system for crowdsourced noise monitoring, the system comprising:
-
one or more audio monitoring devices, the one or more audio monitoring devices configured to; receive audible sounds of a noise event; determine whether a noise level of the noise event is above a threshold decibel level; and if the noise level is above the threshold decibel level, record the audible sounds of the noise event, the recorded audible sounds comprising at least a first audio file and context data associated with the noise event; and a noise monitoring system in communication with the one or more audio monitoring devices via a network, the noise monitoring system being configured to; receive the first audio file and the context data associated with the noise event from the one or more audio monitoring devices; store the first audio file and context data associated with the noise event in a database; and create a first log of the noise event, the first log including at least the first audio file and the context data associated with the noise event. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method for crowdsourced noise monitoring, the method comprising:
-
receiving audio files and context data associated with a noise event; storing the audio files and the context data in a database; creating a first log of the audio files and the context data; receiving a plurality of noise complaints from a plurality of users; creating a plurality of second logs of the plurality of noise complaints; analyzing the first log and the plurality of second logs to determine whether the plurality of noise complaints are related to the noise event; and if the plurality of noise complaints are related to the noise event, automatically forwarding the first log and the plurality of second logs to an authorized user.
