Advice for creating a music-sensing wearable for the deaf or hard of hearing

[chlocaine]

Hi, I am quite new to Arduino and I'm seeking some advice on how to create a music-sensing wearable for the deaf or hard of hearing as part of my school project. I'll be using an Arduino Uno for this project.

My plan is to use vibrations to allow users to feel the bass-heavy frequencies. Additionally, I'd like to incorporate an audio visualiser, either using LEDs or a display screen to show the different frequencies, rhythm and volume. Lastly, this may be a bit of a stretch, but somehow adding captions to show the lyrics of the song.

I'd appreciate any advice on the components needed and how to approach this project. Thank you!

Try a speaker maybe 2" and put a screen on it so the voice coil/cone is not dampened. Earphones do hot have the needed SPL (Sound Pressure Level) to be felt.
