Detect Noise Level Audio Decibels in MXChip Azure IoT DevKit

Introduction

Playing with Azure IoT DevKit MXChip is always fun; the device has many capabilities. For the past few days, I have been working with some of the capabilities of this device like atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity through its sensors. In this article, I will show you how you can calculate noise level using the microphone of AZ3166 IoT Device. Now, let’s get started!

Background

In our last article, we have already seen how to read the temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure from the MXChip AZ3166 sensors and send those to our Azure IoT Hub. In this article, we will perform the following tasks.
