To make any wireless sensor network robust, we must carefully evaluate its behavior. Here we present a monitoring tool that aims to make development of a sensor network application easier by using the auralization technique to portray its behavior. The human ability to discern different sounds makes it feasible to use these sounds in relation to different events in sensing and network communication. In particular, the discussion is focused on generating sounds of different dimensions, and mapping them to a range of events. Sound may be perceived as noise if the sound duration or events to be captured is inappropriate. The monitoring tool can be used for debugging, demonstrating, and profiling WSN, making it a suitable and cost-effective tool that researchers and other developers can use. For demonstration purposes, the tool has been implemented on time synchronization, and sensing and data propagation applications.
