We built out a quick visualization of the noise data we've been collecting in the city. Again, the link is here: http://tendernoise.movity.com.
Our goal for this noise project is to show the affect of noise (from muni, cable cars, bars, people) on the quality of life. We're going to collect and scale the data to other neighborhoods shortly.
Interesting - is "average" noise level defined as a 5-minute Leq?
I'm curious to see how you expand this to other metro areas. Arup has deep pockets but I suspect not deep enough to cover even most metro areas in the USA, and (unlike the EU) we Americans aren't really big on noise-mapping our cities.
The range between the highest and lowest db reading at that given moment. The measurements were taking by us, analyzed by Arup (Arup.com), and visualized by Sha Hwang. He literally built it in 2 days and one of the few folks who specialize in data visualization.

It's v.1, so let us know what you think.
