Sound Meter

Sound Meter

Sound Meter is in the 4th set of the Smart Tools collection (noise, decibel meter).
REMEMBER!! The built-in microphones were aligned to human voice (300-3400Hz, 40-60dB). Therefore the maximum values are LIMITED by the hardware limitation, and very loud sound(100+ db) cannot be recognized. Moto Droid (max.100), Galaxy S3 (81dB), Galaxy Note (91dB), Galaxy S2 (98dB)...

SPL(sound pressure level) meter app uses your built-in microphone to measure noise volume in decibels(db), and shows a reference. We had calibrated many android devices with the actual sound level meter with dB(A).

See the 4-6th pictures. I had calibrated many android devices with an actual sound level meter. You can trust the result in routine-noise levels (40-70dB). But, please use it as an auxiliary tool.

Pro version added Features :

• Sound Meter and Vibrometer are integrated
• Statistic menu with saving log data
• CSV file exporting
• Level notification
• Line-chart duration
• More models are calibrated
• No ads
