Measure the Sound of Mission Hill Re-Opening

6/19/2020

The past few weeks have been some of the quietist on Mission Hill with No Traffic, No Construction, No Gatherings and No One on the Streets.
Mission Hill will wake up over the next weeks and months.  Join the BU Community Noise Lab and the Mission Hill Health Movement by measuring the changes in sound levels around you with the NOISESCORE App.


The NOISESCORE App for your smartphone allows everyone to measure sound, map its location and describe it and how you respond to it. It is easy to use.  Download, Create an Account, and Start Measuring.  You can review your past measurements right in the App!  The NOISESCORE App is available for free in the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.                            
 
Here is a suggested approach to measuring the change in Noise levels over the next few weeks and months. 
  1. Select a weekday and weekend day to take measurements. 
  2. Choose 2 or 3 times a day to measure: morning; afternoon; or evening.
  3.  Mark your calendar or set an alert and start measuring with the NOISESCORE App.

 You can see the changes in sound levels by reviewing your measurements in the “My Account” section of the NOISESCORE App.
Join the discussion in the Mission Hill Sound and Noise Facebook group. For more information about the study and sound:  visit www.commmunitynoiselab.org or www.mhhm.org; or call 617-427-6919

.
This project is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and organized by the BU Community Noise
