aerodoppler

Find out where an audio recording was made. Planes flying past leave a faint engine hum whose pitch drops as they go by. AeroDoppler compares those pitch changes with public records of where planes actually flew, and works out where the microphone must have been.

Could you build this?

Partial Public ADS-B flight records and standard audio tooling make a prototype feasible, and the UI is straightforward. Reliable localization from Doppler shift is a novel signal-processing and estimation problem that vibe coding alone will not solve well.

What it would actually take: A prototype can combine audio analysis (FFT and pitch tracking) with OpenSky or ADS-B historical data and a geometric localization search. Making it accurate needs Doppler modeling with atmospheric and aircraft-geometry corrections and robust matching. Signal-processing expertise and validation against ground-truth recordings would be required.
