void loop() {
  int tempReading = analogRead(tempPin);
  float temperature = tempReading  0.48828125;  // Convert analog reading to Celsius
  Serial.print("Temperature: ");
  Serial.print(temperature);
  Serial.println(" C");
if (temperature > 25) {
    analogWrite(ledPin, 255);  // Turn LED on at maximum brightness
  } else {
    analogWrite(ledPin, 0);  // Turn LED off

  int soundReading = analogRead(soundPin);
  Serial.print("Sound Level: ");
  Serial.print(soundReading);
  Serial.println();
if (soundReading > 500) {
    tone(buzzerPin, 1000);  // Trigger buzzer at 1kHz frequency
  } else {
    noTone(buzzerPin);  // Turn buzzer off
  }
delay(50);
}
```
