## What is Sound Meter?

Noisy neighbors, a barking dog, music at 2 a.m., drilling on a Sunday? Sound Meter turns your iPhone into a noise logger that keeps the evidence for you.

NOISE LOG FOR THE NIGHT
• Start a log, set your limit and a stop time, plug in the charger and lock the screen.
• Every time the noise stays above your limit, the app saves when it started, how long it lasted, its peak and average level (dBA).
• Each event gets a short audio clip that starts 5 seconds before the noise — or keep levels only, without audio.
• In the morning: a chart of the whole night with every event marked.

WHAT WAS THAT SOUND?
• The type of sound — dog barking, music, drilling, shouting, door slams, footsteps and hundreds more — is recognized on your device by Apple's built-in sound classifier, with a confidence score.

A REPORT FOR YOUR COMPLAINT (PRO)
• One tap builds a PDF: address and map, period, summary, chart of the night, event table with sound types, method and calibration.
• Audio clips and raw data are exported with SHA-256 fingerprints, so anyone can check that a file has not been altered.
• Send it to your landlord, building manager, the police or a lawyer.

VIDEO AND PHOTOS WITH DECIBELS
• Turn on the camera behind the meter and record video or take photos with the dial, level, min/avg/max, time and address drawn right on the picture.
• Location is saved in the file too.
• Photos are free; video recording is part of Sound Meter Pro.

A REAL SOUND LEVEL METER
• dBA, dBC and dBZ frequency weighting, Fast and Slow response.
• Min, average (Leq) and max, live chart and octave spectrum.
• Calibration against a reference meter.
• Recordings with level history, audio, location and sound type.
• Dosimeter: your daily noise dose by NIOSH or OSHA and how long a level is still safe.
• Apple Watch app: the noise level on your wrist.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking.
• Recordings, logs and reports stay on your device until you share them.
• Free download: sound meter, noise log with sound types, photos, dosimeter and Apple Watch.
• Sound Meter Pro — a one-time purchase, no subscription — adds PDF reports, audio and data export with SHA-256 fingerprints and video with decibels.

Please note: a phone microphone is not a certified class 1 or 2 sound level meter. Sound Meter is made to document noise — when, how loud and how long — not to replace an official measurement.
