Decibel Meter dB (Sound Meter)

Positives: This app works pretty darn well. It's fairly accurate. I use it in the studio to check volume, and I use it at venues as well. Negative: It doesn't work in airplane mode. When I am in airplane mode, I can pretty much forget about using this app. I'm picky about sound levels. So picky that I ended up buying a separate decibel meter, one that doesn't have to connect to the internet to work. I really wish apps didn't force me to connect in order to work. A dealbreaker. Don't get me wrong: I dislike saying this! I just think apps like this need to work, whatever the situation.

Big storm just came through SW PA and knocked out the electricity for 100,000 homes and businesses. Thankfully I was able to start my generator and get power back on in a matter of minutes. But, that’s where this awesome app comes in to play. I was curious as to how noisy the generator is. Inside the house we can clearly hear it, but not so bad that it prevents conversation, but with a quick click of the app is see that the sound level is about 45-50dB, in fact as a few trucks drove up the road about 40’ from where i am, the noise level went even higher. If a truck driving up the road causes more noise than my generator, I’m thinking it isn’t a big deal. Very thankful for this very easy to use App.

This app works very well and has a very good interface that is very easy to use and quick to understand and intuitive! It also allows users to record (you may have to pay to use this feature) however the app functions very fast and well!
