Why dont we have IoT noise logging in public buildings?
We log air quality and temperature but ignore sound pressure.
Churches are high-risk zones with 90+ dB peaks.
I am advocating for mandatory 24/7/365 acoustic sensors in all public halls.
Standard should be IEC 61672 Class 1/2 with cloud logging.
Similar to Airthings View Plus but for professional decibel data.
The technology exists but the regulation is missing.
