Laboratory 2 - Sound Measurement Using Smartphone Application
Introduction:
Apart from making calls and accessing the internet, smartphones are powerful computing devices
equipped with different sensors (light sensors, gyroscopes, accelerometers, biometric sensors
and etc.) to fulfill various features and purposes. Smartphone for example can be used as a sound
measuring device using the built-in microphones. Sound can be recorded, organized and edited
by using audio recording application. For further processing, Scilab software can be used to
generate and analyze sound waves recorded from the smartphones.
Task:
You will play the given audio file sample. Position your smartphone at different distances from
the speaker and record the audio. Distance used in the experiment is 5 cm, 25 cm and 45 cm.
