Says an almost silent room is at 45-50 decibels. That's definitely incorrect!
Doesnt show where it saves the calabirate
I put it up to a professional sound meter and the reading was about 20db lower then what the professional one was reading. Not sure if I just needed to calibrate it or what, but then there wasn't really any explanation on how to calibrate the app
Instructions say to calibrate first but no instructions about how to do it properly or for how long. Ads scrolling on the bottom obscure a grid of some sort. No help at all--click on help and get useful info about noise levels but nothing about using the app uninstalling it.
Won't go past 89db when environment is well over 100 dB! Junk!
It shows audio frequency being played, but audio calibration is not precise.
Not calibrated, no gauge, graph view blocked by ads.
Doesn't show the pretty colors on the scale :(
Very nice and cool too!
NOVELTY
This would be okay if you could read the graph its behind the numbers you should not put different screens over the top of each other so you can't read what's behind it things are too small to read you should be able to click the graph and expand to make it bigger. Where's the screen to reference decibel levels
Completely unusable after the latest update. Meter no longer extends past ads, and it has a fullscreen ad on exit.
Yeahhh so my 4 hds215s on 6000 watts pushed 152db at slamology on there db meter and this thing is telling me 86db lololol what a joke.
Calibration adjustment inadequate for note 3 at 90 dBA
Fix it and I'll re-install
On my LG LS670 Optimus running Android 2.3.3 just stayed at a "loading" screen.....
PRO: Accurate results when compared to other apps. Provides a relevant reference for db ranges via pop-up screen. Sound meter and graph on one page. Exit app with back button double tap. CON: no ability to obtain a weighted measurement (the only relevant measurement in human sound. Also the measurement specified by noise laws / building codes) (no app tested has this ability). OVERALL: good
I see people talk about accuracy, but my experience is that for "normal levels" it is fine. But downgraded because the scale on the graph doesn't represent the reading - for my phone, there is a 20db difference. But overall, better than other similar apps. Just waiting for a bug fix.
I downloaded this app so I could take measurments at a drag race and it wouldn't even go over 90 decibels. I know for a face it was at least 150 decibels cause it hurt my ears even with protection.
Caps out around 90, maybe it's s hardware limitation of a phone mic, but either way is inconsistent and vertu much a rough draft app
Regular conversation shows the same as my 4 year old's ear drum-shattering scream.
I was in a concert that was so lound it it was showing barely 80db. I used an iPhone with another app and it showed 98db.
does ok, job but would be better to be able to go over 90, abd an option of average DB.
Just installed it. Sitting in a silent room with nothing but my laptop fan as sound and it is showing 40+ decibels sitting on the front of my laptop. Hitting 60+ just from the sound of my keyboard.
I use this to calibrate my home theater system. Works great. Although, not sure why it needs GPS permissions. Seems a bit excessive.
This app says a whisper is dangerous. Don't get it.
I got this to see how loud my truck is and it only goes to 90 dbs evens out when I'm still going louder and i know it's way louder
