Comments on deciBel for Android

★★★★★ Calibrated with a calibrated meter and it works pretty darn well. Evo 3D.

★★★★★ Seems to work on my LG-E739 (T-Mo myTouch)... ...now I just need to find a way to calibrate it. Might have to see if any local stereo shops have SPL meters and if they would be willing to let me calibrate with it. (A top hearing-aid manufacturer is only a few miles away but I doubt they would set me up in their soundproof room with a tone generator and SPL meter.) On my LG-E739 it registers about 46-48 dB with my mini-fridge being the only noise I can hear. With a fan and my computer running deciBel is showing about 56 dB. The loudest I have gotten it so far is about 91 dB when clapping just inches above the phone. Some sort of database where users could enter their calibration values for specific phone models might be helpful. I really like the fact that it shows the dominant frequency!

★★★★★ Great app Accurate than most of the sound level meter.

★★☆☆☆ Excellent but.... For years and years, I've always loved this app, and found it worked better than my $200 dB meter, but since moving to the Nexus 6P, it is completely incorrect. Not sure if there is a developor option to disable the noise cancelling mic?

★★☆☆☆ Fail Apparently a v8 supercar flying past at 200kmh is 80db fail app is fail

★★☆☆☆ Limited by phone's mic capabilities I have noisy neighbors and wanted a scientific threshold to measure them by. Unfortunately, my phone's mic doesn't pick up sounds that aren't in the immediate proximity of the phone.

★★☆☆☆ Lie This tools is not true Not make sense, im just talking & it goes 60db But with the real decibel meter if im talk it just go to 15-20db, if it goes to 70db it like an exhaust of racing bike

★★☆☆☆ Does not work. Does not work on my LG Optimus V.

Description by BSB Mobile Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.

deciBel is the result of a serious effort to make an Android based SPL meter as close to a professional-grade device as the phone hardware limitations allow.

It uses a Fast Fourier Transform algorithm to implement a high precision A weighting filter and sophisticated digital signal processing techniques to achieve the best possible SPL readings out of your Android phone or tablet.

It displays the current, maximum and minimum values in decibels, and generates 3 kinds of sound pressure level versus time charts. The display can be turned upside down to allow pointing the mic at the sound source.

deciBel is supported by ads.

### Please calibrate before the first use! ###

Features:

- true A-Weighting (ANSI S1.4)
- simple calibration interface
- numeric dB, dBmin and dBmax display
- sliding sound level versus time chart
- sliding max, min and average soud level versus time chart
- accumulated sound level exposition chart (dosimeter)
- saves chart screen shots to the SD card
- dominant frequency display
- 22Khz bandwidth at the input of the weighting filter
- 1024 point real time FFT and digital sound processing
- movable to the SD card
