Inspiration

When trying to listen to music at MHacks, we kept having to adjust the volume because of the varying noise level. That's how we got the idea for a small lightweight utility to automatically adjust volume based on ambient noise, kind of like an auto-brightness for sound.

What it does

Automatically adjusts volume based on ambient noise, kind of like an auto-brightness for sound.

How we built it

We built the project using Swift for OS X. We have plans to make it cross-platform in the future.

Challenges we ran into

We spent a majority of our time fine-tuning and calibrating the algorithm used to determine volume adjustments.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We settled on using a polynomial regression on the data points the user chose for background noise versus output sound level, and used that to apply a function for future predictions and adjustments.
