Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

A loud noise will be harmful to both your physical and mental health. You should avoid exposure to those environments. Let our sound meter help you detect those environments. Don't hesitate to download Decibel - Threshold Sound Meter to protect your and your family's health. Features: - Decibels indicator (dB) in real time. - Show the reference value for each type of environment as the sound level we are measuring. - Calibrate decibels to adjust the microphone for every phone. - Gives a real-time graph for the sound detected by the microphone. - Gives two types of notification options to the user- sound and vibration. You can also use the app for a handful of use cases. For instance, effectively measuring the dB levels in and around educational and medical institutions and know if they exceed the permitted levels. SOUND METER LEVELS 120dB - Threshold of pain, Thunder 110dB - Concerts, Screaming Child 100dB - Motorcycle, Blow dryer 90dB - Diesel truck, Power mower 80dB - Loud music, Alarm clocks 70dB - Busy traffic, Vacuum cleaner 60dB - Normal conversation at 3ft 50dB - Quiet office, Moderate Rainfall 40dB - Quiet Library, Bird Calls 30dB - Whisper, Quiet rural area 20dB - Rustling leaves, Ticking watch 10dB - Almost quiet, Breathing The value of sound meter is not as precise as an actual Sound Pressure Level Meter (SPL meter) sound meter, this is due to most device's microphone are aligned to the human voice. To fix this, use an actual sound meter or Sound Pressure Level meter (SPL meter) to adjust decibels error as close as possible before use. If you didn't own an actual Sound Pressure Level meter (SPL meter), go to a very quiet place where sound cannot hear and adjust the reading value to 20~30dB.

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Sound Meter APK safe?
