NOISE DETECTOR

noise
The word noise means any unwanted sound. Signal-to-noise ratio" is sometimes used to refer to the ratio of useful information to false or irrelevant data in an exchange.

Noise detector
A room noise detector could serve as a burglar alarm during the night,It could serve as a child protection device, near a door to the outside of the home. This circuit is intended to signal through a flashing LED, the exceeding of a fixed threshold in room noise, chosen from three fixed levels, namely 50, 70 & 85 dB.

 Two Op-amps provide the necessary circuit gain for sounds picked-up by a miniature electret microphone to drive a LED. With SW1 in the first position the circuit is off. Second, third and fourth positions power the circuit and set the input sensitivity threshold to 85, 70 & 50 dB respectively. Current drawing is <1mA with LED off and 1215mA when the LED is steady on.

 The 50 dB setting is provided to monitor the noise in the bedroom at night. If the LED is steady on, or flashes bright often, then your bedroom is inadequate and too noisy for sleep. The 70 dB setting is for living-rooms. If this level is often exceeded during the day, your apartment is rather uncomfortable. If noise level is constantly over 85 dB, 8 hours a day, then you live in a dangerous environment.

LM358
Lm358 can be used to construct a stable amplifier, an inverting amplifier and a noninverting one since there are two op amps on each LM358 chip. APPLICATION Transducer amplifiers All the conventional op-amp circuits DC gain blocks

Schematic Diagram

LM358 tries to keep the potential between in inverting and non-inverting inputs 0 such that no current flows through the input of the amplifier based on Kirchoffs laws.

BC327
The PNP Bipolar Transistor is designed for use in linear and switching applications. The device is housed in the TO-92 package, which is designed for medium power applications Application ESD Protection Polarity Reversal Protection Data Line Protection Inductive Load Protection Steering Logic

BC327

Features
High current(max 500 mA) Low voltage(max 45V)

Rotary switch
A rotary switch is a switch operated by rotation. A rotary switch is a device that has a rotating shaft connected to one terminal capable of making or breaking a connection to one or more other terminals. rotary switch provides a desirable means to control large numbers of circuits over a wide range of currents, voltages and power requirements.

Microphone
A microphone (called a mic or mike; ) is an acoustic-to-electric transducer or sensor that converts sound into an electrical signal. An electret microphone is a type of capacitor microphone, Only the best electret microphones rival good DCpolarized units in terms of noise level and quality; electret microphones lend themselves to inexpensive mass-production, while inherently expensive non-electret condenser microphones are made to higher quality.
