Thresholds represent the limits of noise tolerated at a property, which can be customized for each hour of the day. Each device has its own default thresholds, but you can use the Seam API to modify them. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json post /noise_sensors/noise_thresholds/create openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: Seam Connect version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://connect.getseam.com security: [] tags: - description: access_codes name: /access_codes - description: acs name: /acs - description: action_attempts name: /action_attempts - description: client_sessions name: /client_sessions - description: connected_accounts name: /connected_accounts - description: connect_webviews name: /connect_webviews - description: devices name: /devices - description: events name: /events - description: health name: /health - description: locks name: /locks - description: networks name: /networks - description: noise_sensors name: /noise_sensors - description: phones name: /phones - description: thermostats name: /thermostats - description: user_identities name: /user_identities - description: webhooks name: /webhooks - description: workspaces name: /workspaces paths: /noise_sensors/noise_thresholds/create: post: tags: - /noise_sensors summary: Create a Noise Threshold description: >- Creates a new [noise threshold](/capability-guides/noise-sensors/configure-noise-threshold-settings) for a [noise sensor](/capability-guides/noise-sensors).
