SPL Meter is a professional-grade sound level meter, also known as a decibel or dB meter, for your iPhone or iPod touch. Modeled after a traditional analog SPL meter, we have faithfully reproduced all the characteristics ...
It s great to have this type of tool in your pocket Great App davidcowart
with iOS 10 3 2 on iPad It used to be full screen What happened Or is this by design The app doesn t scale to screen N2LLC
Since the current update my interface for this app is blurry very low looking resolution looked great before this update Please fix Blurry UI DennyZ50021
but I dont know how to use it great 1brianaustin
I have several SPL meters and this APP rocks them all Key feature I always have it with me Best SPL Meter I ve owned NotMyPad
Tiny image of what appears to a copy of the Radio Shack db meter from the 1970s Screen does nothing except show current db number you need a magnifying glass to see it A 99 joke Ha Doesn t Apple really examine any of these apps before allowing people to steal your money Zero stars Forget It Highway RickEy
Works just fine except I m not too sure of how to change response time range as tapping the screen does nothing Also can t access the settings tab But db metering is very accurate How do I Ssccrab
It does what it claims to do and it does it well Good Sound Meter Poopy McShitlicker
Not sure why the interface was made so much smaller Wish I hadn t updated Ruined the interface with this update Strizbiz
Great app I ve been using it since it came out I am a weapons instructor for the USMC and I use this mostly to demonstrate the difference in sound levels between canned and uncanned rifles The GUI is a little dated looking maybe not optimized for iPhone 6S but the functionality is 100 Go to Decibel Meter aefle
I use this setting up portable PA systems all the time It s quick and easy Solid and nice features SLO Mike Go
I m super happy to have this update I left a lower review previously because it was almost impossible to use on my new big screen All is right with the world now though Thanks Andrew Updated for iOS9 and 6s ChinaTim
This app use to be great on my 6 but now the screen is all mixed up App does not work on 6s Plus Technics1200
Excellent until I upgraded to 6s Screen is totally jumbled 6s unusable Coonquest
This app doesn t work on 6s plus the screen is all mixed up Waste of money App doesn t work on 6s plus Raj Tummala
I love the app but it hasn t been updated to work with the screen on a 6s Everything is jumbled together Mostly incompatible w 6s ChinaTim
Just an excellent all around app for measuring decibels I use it all the time Very well designed and good looking Also still well supported by the developer despite being what 5 years old Great job Absolutely the watermark taggalog
A perfectly find SPL meter application which I am happy to recommend I only wish there was a way to display just digits w o the analog meter face I understand there s some attachment to the old skool red needle but just having a readout would make this just that much more attractive of an application Meter face is quaint okeanos_laz
Downloaded it a few days ago and it worked fine but now it doesn t Now it just says 999db and the needle no longer moves Uninstalled Stopped working Joedbq
Doesn t actually do what you think Keeps bugging you to buy some pro thing Avoid Doesn t work Looks horrible Snorbaard
Current version is not compatible to iOS8 graphic is messed up Not compatible to iOS8 SaintO
I was just about to purchase a handheld db unit when I ran across this interesting looking little app I had recently purchased a high pressure misting pump which is louder than I would like so I wanted to try some ideas I have for reducing the sound and I wanted needed a way to measure the results As I still have a first generation iPad I had concerns about how well this app would work with it Turns out it works great It downloaded easily and when I fired it up by the pump it read 70 5 db the manufacturer s spec sheet said to expect 70 db so this app seems to be right on the money This app save me about 30 so I say it s a great deal for 0 99 My only suggestion would be that they provide a bit more info for us novices It clearly works and it s only 0 99 Jack2753
Earlier this week I and some friends went to hear the Yonder Mountain String Band play at the Ryman Auditorium While I very much enjoy bluegrass music the sound was painfully loud The younger crowd didn t seem to mind the volume but to a older person like myself it was very uncomfortable Luckily someone had an extra pair of ear plugs and I was able to enjoy the rest of the show in comfort But I still wondered how loud was the music I pulled out my iPhone 4s and went to the AppStore I bought SPL Meter based entirely on looks It looked like an spl meter should look Once downloaded I found the app easy to use with intuitive controls Where we were sitting in the center of the balcony the levels averaged between 97 and 101 db Pretty loud The next day I cranked up my stereo at home to the same levels as the night before so I could experience the volume in familiar surroundings The discomfort was the same In summary SPL meter suits my purposes very well because it s handy if I need it I have no idea how it compares to professional meters Quick Easy Dave in Bellevue
Waste of a dollar Every time I inadvertently tipped my iPhone4 into landscape mode and then uprighted it the program display would get all screwed up as if I had zoomed in to see just the lower left part of the display And it would remain that way until I killed the program and restarted Very annoying Crashed once as well Deleted and wrote it off as a loss However when it worked it seemed OK Plain easy to read meter quick response etc FWIW Glitchy Jim Sexton
This app has always seemed to work well but the update with the grey photograph of an actual piece if hardware and the metal toggle switches is a much worse look than before I implore the developer to go back to something more like the old version or at least make the images look less like photographs correct lens distortions make the toggle switches look like 3D toggle switches instead of overhead photographs of actual switches etc Nice but the old look was better SpudMills
This ap worked perfectly until the last upgrade From what I can see the only thing this change did was add a commercial for an expensive external microphone while taking away the ability to adjust the MAX signal level It really is a shame to see them mess up a nice ap try and get you to pay them more money I used to rate this as a five star ap now I m going to delete it if it s not fixed Very disappointed No gods after upgrade TheRodg
Placed side by side with a calibrated Type 2 sound level meter in a noisy room this app measured within plus or minus 2 dBA on a 4 phone on a 4s it undermeasured by around 6 dBA Pretty fun to have with you in your favorite tavern Pretty accurate on a 4 phone E. Rambler
I bought this app to properly set the levels on my new home theater By default the readings were way low in comparison with my RadioShack meter After tweaking the trim extensively it matches up pretty well However even when calibrated and using c weight and slow response my iPhone 4s with this app was completely incapable of picking up my subwoofer test tone for subwoofer level setting Good for basics after tweeks Joe Astorino
Does not give consistent readings Varies by 10 to 20 dB Does not alway turn on when app is touched have to tap fast slow button to get to start SPL Not Consistent bob6515
No excuse for not having this on your iPhone if you are involved with audio at all I play guitar primarily and will use this to check that the amp is set as close as possible to the same output level everytime I have to re setup Makes your sound guy happy For home recording I use this to compare the output of my mix to a similar professional commercial mix when mastering a song Again just a handy app to keep on your smartphone for any occasion Kudos to the developers one of the few apps left that work with a darn on an iPhone 3G Great app John 3:14
Not able to identify my sub woofer I m using iphone 4s for this app when I play my sub woofer for configuration this meter sits ideal Dosent Raman Vepa
Works as expected I like it Mike5409
I showed up for a studio sound level check and my professional grade Radio Shack SPL meter had a dead battery I had 2 auditoriums to check Checked one auditorium when I realized that I had a spare battery in my car Compared readings and they were close enough to where I didn t need to recheck Wow VERY Accurate J.Nunez
Side by side almost the same readouts from my Radio Shack Meter Close enough for my home theatre set up Radio Shack SPL SMTNorCal
very responsive i calibrated against an actual meter the default settings were only off by 2dB great app Gee El
Simple but effective It just works Ivan Perez
Once you have a great tool you ll find new ways to do your work As an HVAC tech I take pride in quiet installations and in fixing other s noisy work Having a really fine meter on my belt saves time gives me a chance to create sales opportunities in the moment with customers Tech BH Robinson
Perfect in every way Checked the accuracy in my school s soundproof room with some B K audiology equipment The results were within 2 3 dB Great app Great price Awesome Starfaz
Really like this app I would give it 5 stars but it s hard to know believe that it provides accurate absolute readings of SPL for every little mic in every iPad or iPod Nonetheless if you take the absolute values with a grain of salt there is a lot to like here I used it to ascertain that my summer apartment in France was plagued by 96dB peak worth of eurotrash disco music last night during the summer solstice parties on the street Yikes Not quite at the threshold of physical pain but definitely that on the psychological level good stuff dboogiemon
I think this is a great app It does all I expect it to I don t have any reference point but I am happy Easy to use Great app TrumpetBob42
Simple and easy to use just like my trusty Radio Shack I have been using for years but always in my pocket A must for AV professionals great app Bradphonius
I m only interested I relative levels maintaining a consistent monitor level for example So this app rocks for me even if it is a number or two off Great studio tool Perfect for my use Gravity Jim
I like this little app It s pretty accurate for a phone Works well worth the Renegade44shk
Calibrated it shows a reasonable degree of accuracy It s all an iPhone app SPL needs to be The graphics work well Quite happy with it Let s call it a good purchase Great little meter pmilnes
The db knob is way to touchy A three point calibration would be beneficial as it is not accurate at all I calibrated it on my iPhone4 at 85db At 115db it indicates 96 and at 45db it indicates 58 These test were done using a professionally calibrated meter Not bad for basic home use WAvara
I just got an onkyo 308 a v receiver and it doesn t have a built in mic Looked at radio shack and a SPL meter was 50 bucks Downloaded this and it works great I calibrated my stero works like a charm As for the other review put it in C weighting and it gets the bass volume Seems to be very accurate Overall VERY useful for the price Great Brandon878787
I was hoping this meter would measure bass but it doesnt Very dissapointed But for 99 can t really complain lol Meh Terrty5150
Well I don t know how accurate it is Seemed to max out at around 90db with internal mic Don t have an external One thing that is annoying is the round scale knob It seems to be be very touchy and a pain to set it to a value Running on 4g iPod touch Neat but I hate you words with friends
Latest update fixed issue with iPad crashing Works Very Well 3rdpig
If you try to use this with an ipod touch and a blue mikey all you get is screeching horrible feedback No option to turn off playback mic Completely and utterly useless Useless with ipod touch and blue mikey v1 plastixeno
I think this is a fun app worth buying BUT it crashes now on an iPad Cool App
I was hoping this meter would measure bass but it doesnt Very dissapointed But for 99 cant really complain lol Meh

Dont know if its 100 accurate but works well enough on my iPhone 5 I have used this app many times to tweak and calibrate my home theater system Good enough

I downloaded another app first that didnt work right so I was skeptical on buying this one I put side by side with a meter here at my office and it performed well I wish the interface was a bit more indepth but really what more to you need Accurate
Working as a sound tech with some friends a buddy got this app and we compared it to a real decibelmeter It was about 10 dB off but then a quick calibration brought it in to be accurate Will prove very helpful as we travel venues and locales PS To the guy who gave it 1star I would ask if you dont know what the controls are for you dont know what this is really used forwhy rate the app low for YOUR lack of understanding 27 has a bug if you flip phone so speakers an micro pointed up you can only see the bottom corner of the app A Sound App
Not able to identify my subwoofer Im using iphone 4s for this app when I play my subwoofer for configuration this meter sits ideal Dosent
Great application for under a buck Worth buying Excellent App
Perfect in every way Checked the accuracy in my schools soundproof room with some BK audiology equipment The results were within 23 dB Great app Great price Awesome
If you try to use this with an ipod touch and a blue mikey all you get is screeching horrible feedback No option to turn off playbackmic Completely and utterly useless Useless with ipod touch and blue mikey v1
With this fix the app runs flawlessly And it shows me that the company really wants user feedback through their support page not negative comments on iTunes I emailed them yesterday about this bug and today theres an update Sure they may have already been working on it but I like to think they are just that quick Great user support
Latest update fixed issue with iPad crashing Works Very Well
Calibrated it shows a reasonable degree of accuracy Its all an iPhone app SPL needs to be The graphics work well Quite happy with it Lets call it a good purchase Great little meter

Doesnt actually do what you think Keeps bugging you to buy some pro thing Avoid Doesnt work Looks horrible
More people should get this game because you can check the level of the sound and it mite be too loud so you can tell the people to lower the volume Protect your ear

Great app but on iOS 4 setting the calibration trim level turns the status bar on top red for a moment and then the app exits immediately Calibration not working

Long ago my brother had a Radio Shack sound meter We walked around the house to check out how different sounds registered and enjoyed learning this way Ive had a loud voice for a long time and Im the first to admit its better in choirs than in libraries Nevertheless at a recent meeting of 80 people someone said I screamed an inquiryand my interest in volume came back a hundred fold I looked at several of the sound meter apps and this one drew me Im glad as it does exactly what I needed for only 99 cents The meter comes at factory settings ready to check your homes sound levels The three controls are Weight default A touch to change to C Range default 40 roll the wheel with your fingertip to go as high as 120 and Response default Fast touch to change to Slow are easy for a novice to understand and simple to change My favorite part is found when you click the i in the upper right corner you get the setup screen where you can calibrate against white or pink noise and you get a SPL chart of dBso you can compare sounds Caregivers of peopleyoung and oldwith inquisitive minds will like this app Great app for the basics
Great for quick FOH reference Latest update has an issue with screen rotationI only see the bottom corner of the GUI when I rotate the phone upside down Please fix this Great reference but update issues
