Project Name: “Sound Guardian”

Date/Time: 9/22/2026 / 1:00 PM

Current Phase: Brainstorming

Started brainstorming ideas for what direction we wanted to steer our audio classification/threat detection project.

• Use given RGB LEDs on the 8x8 matrix to show how severe a potential threat may be
  • Fading Green/Blue for safe environment/idle
  • Pulsing Red for danger when detected
  • Use 8x8 matrix to draw out certain images when detecting specific threats
• Use SMS messaging to send a phone alert to whoever has connected to the device
  • Logs time and detected threat
  • Instant potential response
• Two options for audio detection
  • Use frequency filtering and harmonics to detect certain types of sound
  • Train ML model to detect sounds that signal potential threats
• Add (potentially remote) arming/disarming so that sound detection isn’t constantly running while audio such as the TV or guests are in the room the device is
