## What is SoundMeter Pro 2022?

SoundMeter Pro 2022 is not recommended for new purchases. SoundMeter X offers perpetual license and subscription options for the latest tools and features.


SoundMeter Pro 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 (RTA).

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.

    -- Store user-defined thresholds in files for later recall.
    -- View auxiliary sound level or octave spectrum display with the device in landscape orientation.

    -- 8-hour Noise Dose, Projected Dose, TWA calculations
    -- Criterion Levels: 80, 85, 90 dB
    -- Exchange Rates: 3, 4, 5 dB

- Stereo Signal Generator
    -- Left and right outputs assigned to arbitrary hardware output channels
    -- Random and pseudorandom (periodic) noise sequences with white or pink spectrum
    -- Linear and logarithmic frequency sweeps
    -- Dual periodic waveforms with arbitrary frequency and phase difference

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed!

*2024-08-17*

As a mobile audiologist who does boothless testing, I needed a way to monitor ambient noise levels from 250-8000 Hz and this does exactly what I need! It was quick and easy to set up. $100 well spent to ensure test validity and excellent patient care!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 12.7.5 — 2026-07-01

- This update corrects an issue with continuous multi-channel recording to multiple audio files in the Data Recorder tool.
- Faber Account access has been added to SoundMeter Pro 2022 to register the app for eligibility for a discount on the SignalScope X version 13 Pro perpetual license. Creating or signing in to a Faber Account is optional.
- Corrected a NC calculation issue in the Octave Analyzer when working with 1/3-octave-band filters.
- Other minor cosmetic improvements.

### 12.6 — 2024-10-30

- The IO Device Configuration menu now includes a Soft Gain option in the output options section. The software gain is a digital scale factor applied to all output signals just before they are sent to the hardware. The intent of this is to support listening to low level signals (play-through or internally-generated) in potentially noisy environments.
- Fixed some cosmetic issues.

### 12.5 — 2024-08-13

- 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.

### 12.3.2 — 2024-04-12

- Support added for Dayton iMM-6C measurement microphone, including automatic retrieval of calibration information after entering the product serial number.
- Other cosmetic and stability improvements.

### 12.0.12 — 2023-06-09

- Help files now adjust to dark mode.
- The Recorder tool no longer reports a problem when audio file metadata is successfully saved in the file.
- Support for the miniDSP UMIK-2 and the Dayton UMM-6 USB measurement microphones has been improved.
- The built-in web server has improved handling of data files that have non-ascii characters in their name.
- Other cosmetic and stability improvements.
