I like this
I realize that this is not a “medical exam“ but it is kind of nice to know any random way what this test is finding. It’s not extremely scientific, but if you found something that I need to be aware of before, I realized it that would be pretty nice. I am a farmer, so I’m welding, grinding, driving tractors, all kinds of noise around me and I know I don’t have perfect hearing. But this was interesting I thought for sure my left ear was better than my right. There are some stones I can’t hear it my wife can in a kind of concerns me. I’m going to check in on the site more often. I took this test with a set of noise canceling Bose quilaphone headsetShow lessDeveloper Response
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! I’m very glad you found the Decibel app easy to use and helpful in keeping your hearing safe. Especially if you are often using heavy equipment, it's very good to track your hearing health regularly. I hope you continue to enjoy all of the app's features and wish you all the best!😊Great but not Perfect
DB is great tool with good options to take audio level measurements. Is a bit off from a professional SPL meter but it does the job. However, since you can turn the phone upside down, on my opinion I always get better readings by using the bottom microphone from the iPhone. Sometimes I use it to check the level speakers of my AVR, but like I said is not accurate as a professional calibrated SPL meter, but very close (1db or 2db difference).Show lessGreat App for Acoustics Meeasurents
So love this app has dB-A, dB-C, NC, and NR standards. These are all different and needed for different reasons. Love the NC shows you the curves along with the spectrum peaks. Very handy.
For example Dolby ATMOS guideline is ATMOS home entertainment mix room is <25 NC. I can measure a room with this and see what frequencies are affecting the measurement. For another example, to calibrate the mic level on Room EQ wizard by can play Dolby pink noise from their Dolby ATMOS Renderer and adjust volume to 75 dB at the mic and then set the calibration in REW.Show lessDeveloper Response
