Measuring Noise

We concluded that for noise there would no way to measure objectively, since we didn't have access toany technical equipment and it would be too expensive to hire any out. So we decided to measure in 2 ways: The amount of noise in a particular area on a scale of 10; and the source of the noise and whether it was commercial, transport, residential, natural or industrial. Obviously most of the time there will be more than 1 source, in which case we would approximate how much of the noise was coming from whichever category, e.g. 80% transport and 20 % residential.


We took 20 different measurements for 20 different areas, and recorded them as mentioned before
