Ask HN: IoT to Detect Noise and Outlaws?

I live in a place where noise has increased exponentially over the past 2 years. Many elderly people living in my building upset by these events.

There are people accelerating their motorbikes and powerful cars madly, at dawn and I would like to prove these to my city hall so that they can take some action, because this is killing our sleep on a daily basis.

How would you approach a project like this using microcontrollers like arduino or raspberry, in terms of modules and ideas?

I live in a corner building, on the first floor, with a diagonal view of the avenue where the kids are playing with their toys.
