Sound Visualizer Project

Overview

This Sound Visualizer Project is a Python-based tool that captures audio input, processes it to detect specific frequency ranges (like baby cries), and visualizes the audio data in real-time. The project is structured into modular components for audio capture, processing, and visualization.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Pip (Python package installer)

Installation

1. Clone the Repository
   Clone this repository to your local machine, or download the source code.

git clone git@github.com:Aljianja/toomany.git

2. Install Required Libraries
   Navigate to the project directory and install the required libraries using:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This will install the following libraries:

• PyAudio
• NumPy
• Matplotlib

Running the Project

1. Navigate to the Project Directory
   Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you cloned the project.

2. Execute the Main Script
   Run the following command:

python main.py

This will start capturing audio from your microphone and display the visualizations in real-time. If a baby cry (or a sound within the defined frequency range) is detected, it will be indicated in the terminal.

Modules

• AudioCaptureModule: Handles the audio input from the microphone.
• AudioProcessingModule: Processes the audio data and detects specific frequency ranges.
• VisualizerModule: Visualizes the audio data in real-time.
• main.py: Integrates all modules and runs the application.

Troubleshooting PyAudio Installation

• For Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):

  1. Install PortAudio with: sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev
  2. Reinstall PyAudio: pip install pyaudio

• For macOS:

  1. Install PortAudio using Homebrew: brew install portaudio
  2. Reinstall PyAudio: pip install pyaudio

• For Windows:

  • Try installing PyAudio using a pre-built wheel from Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages.
  • Alternatively, use an Anaconda environment to install PyAudio.

Customization

You can modify the frequency range for detection in AudioProcessingModule.py according to your needs. The visualization style can also be customized in VisualizerModule.py.
