SPL Meter

Sound Pressure Level Meter. This app uses the microphone to detect sound and convert it into an SPL value. FOR INDICATION ONLY. Results depend on your device and its hardware. The range between the noise floor and saturation may be only 20 dB on the worst devices, but could exceed 100 dB on the best devices. Features of this SPL meter include:
Analogue Dial with Max and Min indicators.Weighting – A, C or None . (A weighting filters the high and low frequencies according to how the ear perceives sound loudness). Results are in dB, dBA or dBC depending on weighting.Averaging of SPL, Clear and Pause buttons.Octaves and third octaves
- Frequency spectrum of the sound.Graph – Shows the time depedence of the sound.Autoscale or manual (pinch & pan) Y-Axis.Relative button – if looking for differences, tapping REL will remove the current averaged value from the reading.Calibrate option – If you have a calibrated SPL meter or known loudness source, you can use this option to calibrate the meter. (However its still for Indication Only).

More technical details can be found on the website.

Useful enough. Ads are not intrusive, and it seems to be pretty consistent

It does not measure true peak. Why won't the folks who make these types of apps create a app that measures LUFS level unit full scale? That would be a great thing to offer.

Not up to date. "Built for an older version of Android". Numbers totally wrong out of the gate, says 90dB from A/C noise and normal 'inside voice' conversation when other apps more accurately start at around 62dB before calibration. Interface is also kind of old-looking and sluggish.

NOT accurate! I tested a few different SPL meter apps compared to a proper spl meter and this app was the most innacute out of the ones I tested. the proper meter was reading 95db and this app was reading 105. thats a big difference! also lots of ads in the app.

Has c weighting, has calibration, easy to use. Cheers!

Altho i got different readings with different phones, i'd blame microphones and skip to the point: it does the job, it looks nice and it has no commercial stuff in it.

Simply brilliant, but does depend on hardware capability. Would be better if you could remove ads though.

No where near what an ACTUAL SPL meter (Term Lab, which is used by NASA) reads. That fact that it uses your tiny microphone in your phone to take measurements SHOULD tell you that this app is painfully inaccurate. Look up your hardware specs and you'll quickly realize how limited your microphone on your phone REALLY is.

Simple and functional. Of course you have to calibrate it in order to get repeatability, as any known SPL Meter. Quite handy

As a ex professional in the audio business I've found this app is great , once calibrated it proved to be a very usefull tool.

Completely useless on devices that have a limiter on the microphone as is the case on most smartphones.

Hi. This program is excellent and very professional. But there is no response option in it. Please add this item. Thanks to the creator of this useful program.

Dav. S. Jun 20, 2021     

Calibration is not good. Also need a paid fee to remove ads and have only the SPL display.

Bob. L. Mar 15, 2021     

Very inaccurate. At a known Db reading at 55 from another meter this app was reading over 80 Db

Juk. Aug 8, 2020     

Useless 80 db right out of the gate. Having to calibate the app defeats the purpose of downloading it.

Big. E. Oct 8, 2019     

Reads 20db higher than other apps. Not realistic at all.

Joz. N. Oct 17, 2018     

Very accurate after calibration. My spl meter Huawei p10.

Nat. M. Aug 17, 2019     

Total Garbage. Read a whole 20db higher than other apps.

Ari. A. Jan 19, 2019     

great features but the needle doesn't move..

Mar. K. Nov 6, 2019     

Very inaccurate compared to real meters Edit: typo

Mus. A. B. Dec 17, 2018     

Not accurate even after calibration

Nig. K. Dec 28, 2019     

About the best, it has real calibration.

Ste. S. Dec 8, 2019     

Has intrusive ads.

alf. s. Jun 15, 2020     

Downloaded 5 free apps and this one is the best

Rob. H. Jun 22, 2020     

Not bad, got me in the ball park.

Very nice read correctly

Good app love all your apps

A. G. u. Nov 14, 2018     

One of the greatest apps ever.

Measures frequency, which others don't

Chi. R. A. May 30, 2019     

Not working really. It says 90dB in my bedroom
