Sound Sensor

Sound sensors and noise sensors are intelligent sensing devices used to detect and analyze changes in sound signals or sound pressure levels in the environment. They convert sound waves into electrical signals and output data in real time through algorithms or communication interfaces. With their high-precision measurement, fast response, and good system compatibility, these sensors are widely used in environmental monitoring, smart cities, industrial control, acoustic research, and many other fields.

Working Principle

Sound sensor modules convert sound waves into weak electrical signals through a built-in microphone unit. These signals are then amplified, filtered, and processed by circuitry to output a measurable or analyzable signal. Noise sensors focus on measuring sound pressure level (SPL) and utilize an A-weighted filtering algorithm to simulate the human ear's perception of different frequencies, making the measurement results closer to actual auditory experience. Some modules support Modbus RTU communication, enabling remote data reading and multi-node network deployment.
