How to use Nuisance Noise Recorder... Run the app and watch the Decibel Values, when the target noise occurs see what Decibel Value it occurs at and set the software a few points below. You can set what obstructions there are to the target noise like Brick/Concrete Walls, Wooden Flooring, Open Window & Fence-Line etc. You can set the approx. distance to the target noise. When you start the app listening, it uses your GPS to get a Latitude & Longitude position fix, this is recorded to the database along with any sound files. The app will record 30 second segments when the decibel level exceeds the value you set the limit to. The events that occur can be reviewed over a daily basis, set the date and all events will be sown in two 12 hour clocks (AM & PM) each sound file can be played back (even removed if required) The app can compress all the sound files for a specified date along with a CSV of all the events into a zip folder that can be transferred to a PC or uploaded to your Dropbox or G-Drive as required. The Export feature requires an in-app purchase to create the zip file. (ONLY purchase if you are happy with the recordings!!) The sound files are standard WAV files and will play in Windows desktop and android devices, the CSV will open in any text editor or MS Excel. This app has been tested with external mic connected to the 3.5 Audio Jack. Android only allows use of one microphone at a time and will use the external mic if detected, other wise it will use the internal mic! Please note, not all audio extension cables support mic input, ensure you obtain 4 pole. some phones will NOT work with extension cables due to impedance issues.
