Abstract
Cities are getting bigger and bigger, this means an increase in the concentration of population and therefore noise. This can pose a danger to our health, because without realizing it we could be exposing our body to noise levels much higher than permitted, but due to routine and being used to them, we do not give importance. To try to tackle this problem, the first step is to know the noise levels. To this end, cities carry out noise mapping measurement campaigns. The problem is that these campaigns are carried out every few years and the measures are implemented at specific points in the city. Nowadays, thanks to the development of small embedded systems which can integrate high capacity data processors, as well as long and short-range communications systems, it is possible to design intelligent devices, under the IoT paradigm, which provide detailed and ubiquitous information in real time about noise levels in cities.
