About this app

Sound Analyzer App lets you use your smartphone as a Sound Level Meter (SLM) and a Real time Audio Analyzer (RTA). Environmental noise, measured in decibel (dB) can be monitored in real time. The microphone sensitivity is adjustable by means of the calibration menu.

App with no ads, banner or popups.

Features as sound meter (decibel meter):
A, C and Z (flat) frequency weightings,
Fast and Slow time weightings,
Equivalent A-weighted continuous sound level (LAeq),
A-weighted sound exposure level (LAE or SEL),
A-weighted sound exposure level for a nominal 8-hour working day (noise dosimeter: LEP,d or LEX,8h).

Features as 1/n octave spectrum analyzer:
1/3 octave band spectra: Centre frequencies 25 Hz to 16 kHz,
1/1 octave band spectra: Centre frequencies 31.5 Hz to 8 kHz,
A, C and Z (flat) frequency weightings,
Fast, Slow and Impulse time weightings,
Equivalent continuous sound level (Leq).

If you are not familiar with Sound Pressure Level (SPL) indicators, use the default selection: LAF and LAeq indicators respectively for instantaneous and averaged noise measurements.

Warning: This App does not claim to be an alternative to an approved Sound Level Meter. The accuracy of the measurements depends closely on the specifications of the microphone/amplifier which are not designed in a smartphone for Sound Pressure Level (SPL) measurements. This App is for indication only or for educational purpose. Use an approved Sound Level Meter where it is required.

Fatally flawed as it doesn't allow you to select a microphone source. By default, Android seems to send a processed signal that compresses loud noises (or boosts quiet ones) -- you can see this in action by playing a loud test tone after silencr, as the reported level will quickly drop as the processing recalibrates. Every modern Android device I've owned, however, also has the option to select an unprocessed audio feed, so long as the app asks. A dark mode would be most welcome, as well.

I really like this app, very useful and no ads whatsoever, thank you very much Dominique! A few minor suggestions if I may: 1. In SLM: please allow tap the chart even after pausing the measurement (to switch from a parameter to another) 2. Could you please include some sort of indication of how much memory the recording is using, during the recording itself? E.g. either in KB/MB, or % from a fixed buffer size 3. Please please include the "prevent phone from sleeping" permission & functionality

Fantastic sound measurement app! There is a lot of science behind sound (ex: dbA is the weighted measurement of sound waves across frequencies that the human ear is most sensitive to, while dbZ is a linear measurement) and this app captures and displays all of this information! Ad-free, only requires the use microphone permission, and well polished... a rare 6/5 if that was possible!
