Sound Meter

Are you tired of dealing with noisy neighbors? The SPL meter app is here to help! This app uses your phone's microphone to measure the sound pressure level (SPL) in decibels (db) and provides a reference for comparison.

It's important to keep in mind that most smartphone microphones are designed for human voice frequencies (300-3400Hz, 40-60dB) and are not suitable for measuring very loud sounds. This means that the maximum value that can be measured is limited by the manufacturer, and sounds over 100dB may not be accurately recognized. For example, the Moto G4 has a maximum value of 94dB, the Galaxy S6 has 85dB, and the Nexus 5 has 82dB.

This app can be useful in a variety of situations, such as checking if your voice is loud enough in a lecture or making sure the TV volume is not too high. The 6th image in the app shows a comparison of the app's readings with an actual sound meter (dBA) on major Android devices, so you can trust the results for routine noise levels (40-70dB). However, it should be used as an auxiliary tool and not relied upon for extremely loud sounds.

The main features of this app include an upside down mode, level notification, line-chart duration, and a sleek material design. The pro version offers additional features such as no ads, a vibrometer, a statistic menu, and the ability to export data as a CSV file.

If you're looking for even more tools, you can download the Smart Meter Pro and Smart Tools package. For more information, you can watch YouTube videos and visit the app's blog. Thank you for considering the SPL meter app to help you measure and monitor noise levels in your surroundings.
