About
Application "Sound Meter HQ Pro" uses built-in microphone to calculate sound level (noise level) of surrounding. Result of the measurements is displayed in decibels on the screen of you phone. DISCLAIMER: Don't treat this utility app as a professional device to measure decibels. This tool uses built-in microphone, which was designed to capture human's voice. Such microphone is not able to capture sounds above ~90 - 100 dB (Maximum value differs depending on kind of microphone you have). In addition, some devices are equipped with AGC (Automatic Gain Control). This system can also disturb correct sound pressure level measurement. Measured noise level is presented with the help of indicator on the gauge. Loudness level varies between 0 and 140 dB. Besides live noise measurement the application displays also minimum and maximum registered level of the sound. You can clear it any time by using "Reset" button. Moreover our tool displays noise power in descriptive way. Available descriptive sound measure thresholds: 10 dB - Breathing 20 dB - Rustling leaves 30 dB – Whisper 40 dB – Quiet library 50 dB – Moderate rainfall 60 dB – Normal conversation 70 dB – Vacuum cleaner 80 dB – Food blender 90 dB – Power tools 100 dB – Motorcycle 110 dB – Rock concert 120 dB – Chain saw 130 dB – Jet takeoff (100m away) 140 dB – Shotgun Decibel meter calibration: If you have access or you possess professional sound pressure level measurements device (SPL meter) you can use it to calibrate our app. Firstly, check current decibel reading on scientific measurement device. Next open our calibration menu (calibration icon under MAX value) i our app and set the same value using +,- buttons. Features of application: 🔈 quick reaction to sound level change 🔉 decibel level presented on the gauge and in the descriptive way 🔊minimum and maximum measurements levels. 🔊possibility of calibration the result according to professional device.

Nice interface, simple and effective. Having the real life example db range to compare to is wonderful. Ive yet to see if external or bluetooth mics could already be used with it, but that feature and some simple graph logging could make this the perfect go to app.

On top of helping me i located this app and other by them. Ill let you no how other works out. Im just trying to keep po po off me because of music kickover 100 deciable. Straight pipe exhaust over 130. I only found out when i down loaded the app. Every one needs to have it .

This app works fine for me and I love that this app has no ads. I don't know about the accuracy, but several reviews here says that this app's result is similar, or close, to their actual sound meter.

It's good ,no ads ,works well enough, it's really every phone is different, speakers ,etc. So it sometimes reads differently each phone ,but picks up sound well ,it is decently accurate.

Great for checking guitar resonance values for acoustics or string diameter to sound. Ya know, thin strings not as loud as thick but easier to play. I would like to see higher numbers on the meter, like rock concert numbers 190, or my truck exhaust at 200+. Love the app on my droid!

I'm older and my hearing is already compromised so I'm more concerned now about protecting what hearing I have left. Sound Meter HQ Pro is providing instant feedback to help me either add ear protection or move away if necessary. I am absolutely impressed and thankful for this app. I definitely recommend this app.

I only tried two other decibel meter apps and this one was probably the best. Pretty simple. One of the other ones I tried had all these schematics and stuff. I'm not a scientist I just want to know how loud my babies cries are so that I can tell him when he's older why I can't hear very well anymore because his cries were as loud as a motorcycle.

Excellent App, simple to view. Like the lowest & highest values. Colour scheme looks good as well. Two thoughts - perhaps make info text a little smaller (or fix text and allow indicator bar to move up & down) to always stay on screen (top values disappear when registering low values) and would be nice to be able to store & edit history. Apart from that a great app worthy of 5 stars.

I love that this app has no ads! It would be even better if the instructions on how to calibrate were on the app. I did find them here on the PlayStore listing, however. I don't have the equipment needed to calibrate, so it doesn't matter anyways! Just glad to have something to help me preserve my hearing by avoiding excessive noise levels. Thanks!!!

It's quite accurate, easy to use, simple and it does what it suppose to do. It doesn't have any ads, which is awesome. Still, it doesn't feel right to use it for free, I would recommend a small fee for this app or a donation page, cause it's so well put together. Anyway, good job!

This app does what it meant to do, it measures sound levels clearly and very easy to understand. I tried a couple of other similar apps, but this one,in my opinion topps them all. There are some adverts but they are displayed at the top of the screen and are unobtrusive. I like it.
