Monitoring noise pollution in urban areas in a more systematic manner has been gaining traction as a theme among the research community, especially with the rise of smart cities and the IoT. However, although it affects our everyday life in a profound way, monitoring indoor noise levels inside workplaces and public buildings has so far grabbed less of our attention. In this work, we report on noise levels data produced by an IoT infrastructure installed inside 5 school buildings in Greece. Our results indicate that such data can help to produce a more accurate picture of the conditions that students and educators experience every day, and also provide useful insights in terms of health risks and aural comfort.
