Hi. I’m currently trying to make line graphs and send notifications based on the intensity of the noise the user inputs. For example, the user turns on their microphone, and I want to graph the inputted noise on a line graph. I also want to send a notification to the user if the inputted noise is very loud. However, I don’t know where to start because I don’t know how to make line graphs and can’t find any tutorials to help me. Any help is appreciated! ---

There are topics here about graphing in Thunkable. But I think your first step is to figure out how to get values for the noise level. How are you going to do that? ---

I’m thinking of using the Sound component. I think setting the source to the audiofile and then the level of the sound would be the block “Sound1’s Volume”. ---

But that’s how loud the sound is playing from a sound file on your app… not how loud their surroundings are. I don’t think there’s any way to capture decibel level in Thunkable. ---

Oh. So are you saying that I can’t make a line graph or send notifications based on the sound level? ---

Yes, I’m saying that I don’t know of a way to detect the sound level from a user’s device. ---

Oh. Ok thanks for letting me know ---
