Abstract
Urban noise is becoming more serious and increasingly concerning environmental problems. This has led to numerous study on traffic noise. However, not much studies has been done on the noise from a human perspective as they go about their daily life. In this paper we report on the study of noise level in a campus environment, in open common areas which are frequented by students. Using crowd sourcing noise data by volunteers, we are able to map out the noise across the campus from the perspective of the students. The noise level increase through the day as the student gather around popular open spaces. Our study shows that the sound level on campus are due mainly to human and mechanical noise. By mashing the noise data with Wi-Fi log data, we were able to show the good correlation between sound level and human density in an area.
