Challenges
As part of an investigation into communities disrupted by deafening cryptocurrency mining operation datacenters, a team of Washington Post reporters sought a way to precisely measure community sound levels.

Results
The unobtrusive sensors helped protect the identity of some sources who did not wish to be identified. The Post got the accurate data, then used the signals from the sensors to create spectrograms—visual representations of noise strength over time.
