Description
SmarterNoise Pro is the most advanced edition of the SmarterNoise recording sound level meters. SmarterNoise Pro edition is developed especially with more advanced measurements in mind, and includes many requested features such as a frequency spectrum display, export of measurement data, A-, C- or no weighting for sound level measurement, and full screen audio mode. SmarterNoise Pro edition does not contain any advertising, and performs accurately and fast.
Features:
• Sound level measurement in video mode
• Sound level measurement in audio mode
• Sound meter snapshot camera
• Record video and audio files (paid function)
• Recording timer
• Sound level activated audio recording
• Frequency spectrum display (paid function)
• Peak frequency detection
• A-, C- or no frequency weighting
• Export of measurement data in CSV format
• Full HD (paid function), HD and VGA video resolution
• Three video quality settings
• Archive for saved files
• Sharing of saved files
• Calibration
• Save location of measurement (optional)
• Time and date
• Continuous Leq, LAeq, LCeq value
• 10 second sound level average (Leq, LAeq, LCeq)
• 60 second sound level average (Leq, LAeq, LCeq)
• Maximum and minimum decibel level
About decibels and sound level measurement
The unit for measuring sound is called a decibel. Because the decibel scale is logarithmic, a sound with an intensity that is twice that of a reference sound corresponds to an increase of about 3 decibels. The reference point of 0 decibel is set at the intensity of the least perceptible sound, the threshold of hearing. On such a scale a 10-decibel sound is 10 times the intensity of the reference sound. Highlighting this is important as already a few decibels higher or lower makes a noticeable difference in how noise is perceived.
The preferred method to describe sound levels that vary over time, resulting in a single decibel value measuring the total sound energy over the period, is called Leq. It is however common practice to measure sound levels using A-weighting, which attenuates lower and higher frequencies that the average person cannot hear. In this case the value is called LAeq.
A- and C-weighting
The A-weighting is a standard, commonly used filter that attempts to alter the measured sound pressure levels to more closely match the perception of the human ear. A-weighting makes the sound level meter less sensitive to very high (over 8000 Hz) and low frequencies (below 1000 Hz).
C-weighting also attenuates low and high frequencies, but the attenuation of low frequencies is much less severe compared to A-weighting.
Calibrate:
Calibrate the application using the calibration tool found in the settings menu. Phones and their components vary in quality and setup so you need to calibrate the app in order for the results to be relatively comparable. One suggestion is that you close the window and door to your bedroom or bathroom, turn off appliances, and once its very quiet calibrate the app so the reading is about 30 decibel.
What’s New
Version 1.022
- Improved the handling of devices with no camera.
- Fixed a crash that occasionally happened when stopping or resetting measurement in audio mode.
Ratings and Reviews
Very useful app, BUT...
Hi Johan
Good app! I've purchased all available paid modules. However, I miss certain functionality:
1. I'd like the resolution (FFT) in the low frequencies to be higher (increase FFT size to 16384 or even higher). So that I can use it to identify room mode frequencies when doing acoustic room optimization.
2. Make tye increased resolution be reflected im the "peak" display tha shows the peak frequency when using the frequency spectrum analyzer view. So I can identify with accuracy the exact frequency that it's peaking at.
3. Make it possible to set the speed that the spectrogram scrolls. To make it easier to see time decays of impulses, bass notes, etc.
I will be SO GRATEFUL for those three improvements 🙏💛 And I will update my review rating if they materialize.
PS, there appears to be a bug: the level calbration is not saved. Either that, or I don't know how to save it 😺
Thanks again for a very useful app! 🤗
Best app ever
You get so much functionality in this app for almost no money, thanks.
