Sound is a powerful tool that is utilized in many unique ways by humans and animals alike to assist us in different situations from safety and survival, communication, entertainment, and more. This project was envisioned to combine these different elements to a system that can be used in a variety of applications.
The Distributed Sound Event Location System (DiSEL) implements a network of devices around a desired area that listen to their surrounding sounds and in the event a user defined sound event occurs, the system will attempt to classify the sound that occurred and determine the sound’s origin location. The resultant information will then be displayed for the user on the DiSEL website.
