Version History of SoundMeter X

12.5

August 13, 2024

- SoundMeter's companion app for Apple Watch has been completely re-written for better performance and improved support for newer versions of watchOS. (Note that the watch app remains a remote for the iPhone app--it does not perform any kind of sound measurements using the watch's built-in microphone.) - The watch app now includes a remote for the Max Levels tool. - In the watch app, the Meter tool now displays max and peak sound levels. - Improved handling of data and audio files. On newer versions of iOS, external files (e.g. on iCloud Drive) can be opened in-place instead of being copied into the app sandbox before opening. - Significant improvements have been made 'under the hood' to ensure that the app runs well on the newest operating systems. - Other minor cosmetic and stability improvements.

Description of SoundMeter X

SoundMeter X turns your iPhone or iPad into a handheld data-logging sound level meter (SLM), data-logging noise dosimeter, stereo signal generator, multi-channel data recorder, and real-time whole or 1/3 octave band spectrum analyzer (subscription required for most features--try it out with a 14-day free trial). Input signals can be acquired from the current (manually selectable) audio input path. Sensitivity calibration can also be performed for any audio input device and/or input channel. Direct hardware support (automatic sensitivity calibration, based on factory-defined values) for The Modal Shop’s 2-channel 485B39 USB-ICP interface and miniDSP’s UMIK-1, UMIK-2, and E.A.R.S. microphones. In addition to real-time sound level measurements, SoundMeter can stream raw sound data to audio files, and store acquired sound level data, including date, time, and location, in CSV or TXT (tab-delimited) files, MAT-files, or high-resolution PDF images for later retrieval from your device.

  • Disable my app

    I’m into audio and spent a lot of money for a way to set up and measure sound. A little while ago this software was disabled and replaced by a new version that now requires a rental fee to operate. Sorry but I feel ripped off. Why should I now have to pay for the use of the system I bought and was then disabled by the excuse of no update to pay more. Shame on you.

  • Excellent

    Lots of add ons can be purchased for more specialised measurements. This standalone app is excellent at what it does, (measure sound level). It has excellent accuracy given that this is a mobile app. It’s not far off a measurement taken with a professional unit. I don’t get the previous review that rates this app as fake???? Could it be that a little knowledge of sound acoustics might help?
