Week 9 Post Lab (Test Round 1)

During the first round of testing, the team did the listening test on each other and found some measurements using the decibel meter. Three different types of songs (fast pace, medium and upbeat, and slow) were tested three times to get a range of sound. Using the data from the three decibel test Dana will make a graph to show the trends between the minimum and maximum range for each song. During the testing, each team member picked a song that they were familiar with so it would be easier to hear if there was a difference from on the stand and off the stand. From each listening test conducted, each teammate picked the option for when the speaker was on the stand because it was clearer. More listening test will be done with some of the teammates friends to see if they can hear the difference between the two options.

Week 9 Lab

During lab, Meghan and Anna discussed what was going to be done during the rest of the week in terms of testing. For the rest of the week, the team would conduct test to take measurements, make the powerpoint, and do the listening tests with friends. They were let out of class early so that they could bring the speaker stand to the dorm where the speakers were. While at the dorm, they tested the stand out to hear the difference and were excited to see that the project was a success.
