    This document describes the design and implementation of a decibel meter using a sound module and Arduino with an LCD display. The circuit detects ambient sound levels and displays the intensity as low, medium, or high on the LCD. It also uses an LED to indicate when noise levels are very high. The Arduino code reads sound values from the module, calculates averages, and updates the LCD display with sound levels and intensity in real time. The circuit was tested by monitoring sound level changes from a music player at different volumes.

    Introduction:

    Decibel Meter using Sound Module & Arduino with LCD Display has been

    designed specifically for detecting the level of sound produced from any source

    and its intensity as well. The LCD panel directly displays the information about

    the sound level in numbers. The sound is distinguished as low, medium, and

    high-level sound on the basis of number. LED by glowing gives the indication

    that noise is so high. The set up is absolutely self-contained and requires no

    other apparatus.
    Components Required
    1. ATmega328 Microcontroller or Arduino Board
    2. Arduino Sound Module
    3. 16*2 LCD
    4. Resistors: R1=100E, R2=1M, R3=330E
    5. Ceramic Capacitors: C1=C2=22pF
    6. Electrolytic Capacitors: 10uF/63v
    7. 16 MHz Crystal Oscillator
    8. Tactile Switch
    9. +5V Power supply

    Decibel Meter using Sound Module & Arduino


    So here we will learn how to interface the Sound Module with Arduino. For the

    breadboard assembly of the project with Arduino, you can assemble like this.
    But if you want to reduce the cost and use it with an ATmega328 microcontroller

    you can use this circuit diagram. Here you will learn how to detect ambient sound

    and how to handle the signal generated by this module. This board along with

    the microphone, has a small built-in amplifier (integrated circuit LM393), because

    only the microphone would not be able to send data for Arduino. The connection

    scheme is very clean, composed of only 3 pins: Vcc, GND, and S (signal). In the

    middle of the plate, there is a potentiometer for sensitivity adjustment.


    The board works with 5V voltage, and the signal pin should be connected

    preferably to an analog port of Arduino, since the generated signal is variable,

    and thus we can see the different levels of noise picked up by the microphone.

    The circuit tests will consist of the module Sound Sensor , plus the display 16x2

    LCD. The display at its top, will show the sound level (Low, Medium and High),

    and bottom , a bar that will follow in real time the sound level detected by the

    microphone will be shown:

    Arduino Sound Module


    Features

    ➡ Main chip: LM393, electret microphone


    ➡ Working voltage: DC 4 ~ 6V

    ➡ Has the signal output instructions

    ➡ Single signal output.

    ➡ Effective signal output for a low level.

    ➡ Output low level and the signal light will on when there has a voice.

    ➡ Can be used for the sonic lamp, with photosensitive sensors act as sound and

    light alarm, also can be used in the occasion of voice control and sound

    detection.

    ➡ Circuit boards output switch value.

    Specifications & Pin Details

    The simple specifications of sound module from left to right first pins are as

    follows:

    Pin 1 VCC :4V to 6V DC

    Pin 2 GND :GND


    Pin 3 D0 :Digital Out

    Pin 4 A0 :Analog Out

    Working

    The sound detection sensor module for Arduino detects whether the sound has

    exceeded a threshold value. Sound is detected via a microphone and fed into an

    LM393 op-amp. The sound level setpoint is adjusted via an onboard

    potentiometer. When the sound level exceeds the setpoint, an LED on the

    module is illuminated and the output is sent low.

    You can check Sound Sensor Datasheet for more details

    About Programme & Code Uploading


    The ATmega328 microcontroller is programmed using the Arduino language. The

    input-output pins are not selected on the behalf of Atmega328 pins but on the

    behalf of Arduino analog and digital pins. Either use Arduino Board for this

    project. Or simply assemble the circuit as shown in the figure. This is done to

    reduce costs. The program for both the circuit is the same.

    For the above circuit, a fresh new ATmega328 microcontroller with a bootloader

    is inserted on Arduino Board, and code is uploaded. Remove the microcontroller

    from the board and insert it in the circuit given above.

    Testing of the Circuit


    The Circuit for Decibel Meter using Sound Module & Arduino should be tested as

    below:

    1. Switch on the power supply of the training board so that LCD will light up.
    2. Initially when everything is silent number 0 or 1 will be displayed on LCD
    indication LOW.
    3. Turn on the music player and bring the module near to the speaker source,
    you will observe the change in number and also level shifting from low to
    medium or high.
    4. Similarly, turn the volume up or down and check the level of sound. When
    extremely high volume is detected red led will glow indicating alert.
