Chapter 1: Introduction
A sound wave is a type of mechanical wave that propagates through a medium (such as
air, water, or solids) by the vibration of particles. It is a longitudinal wave, meaning
that the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Sound waves require a medium to travel and cannot propagate in a vacuum.

Fundamental Concepts of Sound Waves

1. Nature of Sound Waves:

o Mechanical Wave: Requires a medium (air, water, solids) to travel.
o Longitudinal Wave: The vibrations of particles are parallel to the wave’s
direction.
o Pressure Wave: Alternating regions of compression (high pressure) and
rarefaction (low pressure).

2. Propagation of Sound Waves:

o Sound waves travel by compressing and expanding the medium’s
particles.
o The speed of sound depends on the medium:
 Fastest in solids (due to tightly packed particles).
 Slower in liquids.
 Slowest in gases (air).
o The temperature, density, and elasticity of the medium affect sound
speed.

3. Key Properties of Sound Waves:

o Frequency (f): Number of vibrations per second (measured in Hz).
Determines pitch.
o Wavelength (λ): Distance between two successive compressions or
rarefactions.
o Amplitude: Determines the loudness of the sound.
o Velocity (v): Speed at which sound travels, given by the formula
v=frequency×wavelenth
o Intensity: Power per unit area, perceived as loudness (measured in
decibels, dB).
Basic Examples of Sound Wave Propagation

1. Sound in Air (Talking & Music)

o When we talk, our vocal cords vibrate, creating compressions and
rarefactions in the air.
o These vibrations reach the listener’s ear, where they are interpreted as
sound.

2. Sound in Water (Sonar & Marine Communication)

o Marine animals like whales and dolphins use sound waves for
communication underwater.
o Sonar (Sound Navigation and Ranging) uses sound waves to detect objects
underwater.

3. Sound in Solids (Rail Track Vibrations)

o Sound can travel through solid materials faster than air.
o For example, if you place your ear on a railway track, you can hear an
approaching train before seeing it.

Sound is a mechanical wave that propagates through a medium such as air, water, or
solids. The fundamental equation governing sound intensity is given by:

I=P/A

where:
- I is the sound intensity (W/m²),
- P is the power of the sound source (W), and
- A is the area through which the sound propagates (m²).

In practical applications, sound intensity is measured in decibels (dB) using the

logarithmic scale:

L = 10 * log10(I / I₀)

where:
- L is the sound intensity level in decibels (dB),
- I is the measured intensity (W/m²), and
- I₀ is the reference intensity (typically 1×10⁻¹² W/m²).

This project aims to analyze sound intensity variations at Daffodil International

University (DIU) using AI-based graph analysis, Excel for data collection, and a mobile
application to measure sound intensity at 5-minute intervals over 5 hours. The collected
data will be used to visualize noise trends and assess environmental sound conditions.

Chapter 2: Method and Methodology

1. Data Collection Tools:
- Google Play Store App: To measure sound intensity in decibels.
- Excel: To store and manage collected data.
- Python (AI & Graph Analysis): To visualize sound intensity variations and analyze
trends.

2. Data Collection Process:

- Sound intensity (in dB) will be recorded every 5 minutes for 5 hours at multiple
locations.
- Environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity will be noted.
- Data will be stored in an Excel file for further processing.
- Python scripts will be used to generate graphical representations of the collected data.

3. Analysis Approach:
- AI-based trend analysis of sound intensity variations.
- Identification of peak noise periods.
- Correlation with environmental parameters.

These graphs will provide insights into the acoustic environment at DIU.

Result:
The bar chart represents Sound Intensity Over Time, with the x-axis labeled as "Time
(samples)" and the y-axis labeled as "Sound Intensity (dB)". Below is an analysis of the
chart:

Observations:

1. Fluctuating Sound Intensity

o The sound intensity varies over time, showing an irregular pattern with
peaks and dips.
 o The values range approximately between 40 dB to 75 dB.

2. Peak Values
o The highest recorded sound intensity appears to be around 75 dB.
o This occurs at multiple instances, including around the 12th and 14th
time samples.

3. Lowest Values
o The minimum recorded sound intensity appears to be around 40 dB,
occurring at around 0th and 12th samples.

4. General Trend
o The sound intensity does not follow a uniform increase or decrease but
instead fluctuates.
o There are multiple peaks followed by decreases, indicating variations in
the noise level over time.

Possible Interpretations:

 This data could represent real-time sound variations in an environment, such as a

sound recording, ambient noise monitoring, or machine noise analysis.
 The variations suggest an unstable or dynamic sound environment rather than a
steady-state noise source.

Analysis of the Pie Chart: "Sound Intensity Distribution"

The pie chart categorizes sound intensity into three levels: Low, Medium, and High,
showing their respective proportions.

Observations:

1. Medium Intensity is the Most Common (50%)

o The largest section of the pie chart is Medium, comprising 50% of the
total data.
o This indicates that most sound intensity values fall in a mid-range.

2. Low Intensity (26.7%)

o The second-largest category is Low, accounting for 26.7%.
o This suggests that lower sound intensities occur less frequently than
medium ones but are still significant.

3. High Intensity is the Least Common (23.3%)

o The smallest portion of the pie chart represents High intensity at 23.3%.
o This indicates that high-intensity sound levels are less frequent in the
dataset.
Possible Interpretations:

 The environment or data source predominantly produces sound levels in the

Medium range, with occasional Low and High variations.
 The distribution suggests a relatively balanced sound environment, with more
occurrences of moderate noise and fewer extreme variations.

Analysis of the 3D Bar Chart: "Sound Intensity 3D Bar

Chart"
The chart represents sound intensity using a three-dimensional bar plot, where:

 X-axis and Y-axis represent coordinates or categorical data points.

 Z-axis (height of bars) represents sound intensity levels.

Observations:

1. Varying Sound Intensity Across the Grid

o The bars show different heights, indicating that sound intensity fluctuates
across different X-Y positions.
o Some areas have significantly higher bars, suggesting peaks in sound
intensity.

2. Maximum Intensity Values (~8-9 units)

o The tallest bars in the chart reach about 8-9 units, representing regions
with the highest sound levels.

3. Lower Intensity Regions (~1-3 units)

o Some bars are quite small (around 1-3 units), indicating areas with
relatively low sound intensity.

4. Diverse Distribution
o The distribution of bar heights suggests an uneven spread of sound
intensity, possibly reflecting varying environmental noise levels.

Possible Interpretations:

 This chart might represent a spatial distribution of sound intensity in a room, an

acoustic environment, or a simulation of sound wave propagation.
 The variations could be due to different sources of sound or obstacles affecting
intensity at various points.
Chapter 5: Conclusion
The study successfully analyzed sound intensity variations at DIU using AI-based graph
analysis, Excel for data storage, and a mobile application for real-time measurements.
The findings indicate that noise levels vary significantly across different locations and
times, with the highest levels observed near high-traffic areas like the main gate and
during peak hours.

The analysis of sound intensity reveals a dynamic environment with fluctuations over
time and space. The bar chart indicates varying sound levels between 40 dB to 75 dB,
showing peaks and dips that suggest instability. The pie chart highlights that medium
intensity is the most prevalent (50%), while low and high intensities make up 26.7% and
23.3%, respectively, indicating a balanced distribution. The 3D bar chart further
illustrates an uneven spatial spread of sound, with intensity levels ranging from 1 to 9
units, possibly influenced by multiple sound sources or environmental factors. Overall,
the data suggests a moderately noisy environment with periodic variations.

Future work can include extended data collection over multiple seasons to understand
long-term noise trends. AI can be further integrated for predictive modeling and
automated noise control recommendations.

This project highlights the importance of monitoring environmental noise conditions and
provides a foundation for further research into noise pollution and urban acoustics.
