Notifications can be configured for correlated sound measurements by using the right compliance criterium settings. For more information on creating notifications in general, read the following article: How do I create a notification?
This article focuses on the different properties of correlation objects which can be used to monitor different levels of received noise. The following example is an Algorithm A criterium which looks back in time for 300 seconds (5 minutes) and creates samples of 60 seconds (1 minute) which are evaluated against the threshold of 80 dB(A). If two or more samples within the past 5 minutes are above 80 dB(A) this criterium will trigger.
The object used here is a Correlation object which represents a sound measurement between a source and exactly one receiver. There are a number of different noise properties that can be used here and each one comes in A, C and Z-weighted varieties.
Noise Addition A/C/Z: This property is the most relevant one as it represents only the sound of the source without background noise.
Noise Addition Source dB A/C/Z: The sound at the source location including background noise.
Noise Addition Receiver dB A/C/Z: The sound at the receiver location including background noise.
Noise Addition Percentage A/C/Z: The amount of noise received from the source as a percentage of the total received noise at the receiver location.
