Our team will be building a proof-of-concept prototype dual-use omnidirectional wideband micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) microphone array that will detect human vocal range (200Hz - 6kHz), relay the detected vocal message over a speaker, and identify ultrasonic frequencies (>20kHz) that indicate anomalies such as air leaks. If an ultrasonic sound is detected, the product prioritizes it over a voice and will alert personnel with an audio alarm that can be disabled manually by the user. A visual alarm will also be triggered by the detection of the ultrasonic frequency.
