(Create improved design for & then )Implement an Alerting Feature

Closed this issue · 2 comments

As a person affected by highly intermittent loud sounds caused by other people, which some of those other people disregard as "not loud" but WOULD quiet down if an objective, neutral, third-party source would prove it to them:

I'd like a configurable feature which plays a configurable sound (including no sound) and/or gives a configurable visual alert after the measured sound level exceeds a configurable loudness value beyond a configurable time interval (including, of course, instant alerting, but instant alerting SHOULDN'T be the only option, albeit it WOULD make for a good first proof of concept)

…so I can protect myself from getting shouted at by people who can't properly tell how loud their voice gets.

And:
As a person which often can't tell how loud their voice gets, I'd also like such a feature, so I can protect others from unintentionally, non-deliberatively shouting at them.

HI,
thanks for the issue.
At the moment, the app is only build to personal measure.
For you problem, may be more useful contact your local authority.

Your understanding of how open source projects work could use improvement — if you close the ticket, nobody else will implement this, if you leave it open, someone else might. And it makes more sense to bundle efforts into one project rather than a bunch of disparate reinventions of the wheel leading to code duplication, wasting part of the planetary resources of all of humanity on planet earth.

And your understanding of the requirements of people with neurodivergence could also use some serious improvement. But let's suppose for a second we take your suggestion serious despite it completely misunderstanding pretty much everything: authorities will only respond to accute violation of legal limits, so without continuous monitoring to give alert, calling them up would have little point, wouldn't you agree? :) but again, you completely misunderstood & distorted the actual requirement causes
