<p>Via <a target="_blank" href="http://mobileactive.org/whats-sound-two-tools-track-noise-pollution">Mobile Active</a></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">From traffic to construction to everyday chatter, noise pollution is a part of city life. But with the ubiquity of mobiles, documenting noise pollution is getting a little bit easier. <a title="NoiseTube" href="http://www.noisetube.net/" target="_blank">NoiseTube</a> and <a title="LHR" href="http://www.lhrnoisemap.org/projectbriefing.html" target="_blank">LHR NoiseMap</a> are two projects that use mobile phones to record and map instances of noise pollution.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">NoiseTube uses crowd-sourcing to monitor noise pollution. Users with GPS-enabled phones can install a free application that measures the noise level wherever they are. Users <a title="tags" href="http://www.noisetube.net/tags/filter" target="_blank">tag</a> the recordings with a description of the noise, its source, the time of day, and other criteria, and the data is then mapped onto GoogleEarth; in this way participants can use their phones as noise sensors to automatically share information about their city with other members of the community.</p>
