## What is Too Noisy Pro?

This is a fun app that children enjoy and respond to. It's a real boon to any adult who needs to control the levels of noise of a group of children. 

For the responsible adult it is like having a virtual assistant with you, constantly monitoring noise levels and letting the children know in a fun and engaging way if noise levels have reached an unacceptable level. 

In tests we have found when using this app with groups of children peer pressure alone is generally sufficient to control noise levels.

Summary of Features

• Displays graphically the background noise level in a room in a fun and engaging way.

• Allows the tolerable noise level to be adjusted to cater for those "louder activities" as well compensating for banging doors and other sudden noises with the "sensitivity" and "dampening" sliders.

• When the predefined noise level is exceeded for more than 3 seconds:

     1) An audible Alarm is sounded (this can be switched ON or OFF)

     2) The App appears to shatter the screen of the Device (this can be switched ON or OFF)

     3) A counter, displayed on the noise meter, is incremented by one. Keeping track of the number of “Too Noisy" alarms.(this can be switched ON or OFF)

• There is a built-in "Star Awards" rewards system. It can operated in two modes: 

- Achievement Mode
	In this mode a Star is awarded each time the Class keep their noise under control for a pre-determined period of time. This can be from 1 to 15 minutes. 
	Normally, if the class triggers the alarm in this mode they will lose the Star currently running, however, there is also a switch that, if set to ON, will remove an additional Star every time the Class cause the “Too Noisy” alarm to be triggered.If students get all 10 stars a "Super Star Award" is displayed. Stars can also be manually Awarded and removed by the responsible adult.

- Session Mode
	In this mode the Teacher sets the length of time for a complete session. This can be any length of time. Perhaps for a full lesson (e.g. 1 hour 10 minutes) or for a time period set to complete a specific task (e.g. 20 minutes).
	The app will take the session time and divide it by 10 (the maximum number of Stars that can be Won in any one session). The Stars are then awarded at that rate. For example if the Teacher sets the session time to 60 minutes then one Star Awards will be awarded every 6 minutes (60 minutes / 10 Stars  = 6 minutes per Star)
	
• Keep things fresh with over 200 Dial / Background Theme combinations

• The "Alarm Counter" can be reset or disabled completely.

If the noise level is acceptable a happy smiling contented graphic is displayed. If the levels of noise increase beyond what the responsible adult has determined as acceptable, the graphic changes to reflect the unacceptable noise level. Once the level of noise returns to an acceptable level the graphic automatically returns to the happy contented one, however, if the volume of noise remains unacceptably high for more than 3 seconds...an audible alarm is sounded (this can be turned on and off) and the screen of the device appears to shatter! Also, the "Alarm Counter" on the meter is incremented by one (this can be zeroed at any time with a reset button).

### 5/5 — Too Noisy Pro

*2025-05-31*

I’m being too loud again please keep it down a little

### 4/5 — Great for Classrooms!

*2024-10-15, version 5.08*

I absolutely love using this app every day in my classroom! My only negative experience is if an alarm goes off or a text message comes through on my phone, the app will freeze. This causes me to have to restart the app, and my students lose all their stars that they have earned.

### 5/5 — Life changing

*2024-01-21, version 5.08*

Please buy this, i thought if would be funny but its genuinely the best purchase i have ever made.

### 4/5 — Sehr hilfreich und effektiv

*2023-05-11*

Ich habe die App in einer 5. Klasse eingesetzt. Sie haben sofort neugierig gefragt, was das ist. Sehr schnell haben sie erkannt, dass ihre Lautstärke gemessen wird. Dann durften sie einmal schreien. Wenn sie nun 20 Minuten es schafften, nicht mehr in den roten Bereich zu kommen, dann strich ich zwei Aufgaben der Hausaufgabe. Es hat sofort funktioniert: Die größten Störenfriede waren die besten Ermahner: „Psst. Nicht so laut.“ Am Ende der Stunde haben die Schüler reflektiert, dass, sie sich viel besser konzentrieren konnten. In der nächsten Stunde wollten viele wieder, dass ich die App einsetze, was wieder erfolgreich war. Nach den Osterferien werde ich die App mit einem anderen Hintergrund (gibt es bei der Pro-Version) in einer 7. Klasse ausprobieren. Die App lässt sich je nach Unterrichtssituation anpassen (Voreinstellungen: Unterrichtsgespräch, Gruppenarbeit, Einzelarbeit, Stillarbeit, oder selbst einstellen). Das Sternebelohnungssystem hat meine 5.-Kläßler sehr angesprochen.

Ergänzung: Leider unterstützt die App kein Splitscreen, sodass meine Schüler z. B. eine Musterlösung oder den Arbeitsauftrag sehen können. Eine E-Mail an den Support wurde bisher nicht beantwortet. Wenn es den Splitscreen gibt, gebe ich gern wieder 5 Sterne.

### 5/5 — Super App!!

*2023-02-18*

Vielen Dank!👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼

**Developer response:** danke schön tk69 for the 5 star review. It is very much appreciated!

### 4/5 — Noise o meter

*2022-12-07*

Great app but hard to close when not using

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-03-25, version 5.08*

I set the minutes for 10 stars to total the time until our next scheduled break, which I am really bad at remembering to give. This helps the students to maintain self control. Takes advantage of peer pressure to act properly, and reminds me to give breaks at the right time.

### 1/5 — 0 stars

*2021-08-04, version 5.08*

Just plain annoying

### 4/5 — Even the kids request it!

*2021-07-10, version 5.08*

It works great! I teach first through third grade art, it can get a little crazy in there if I’m not on top of it. Too noisy is the best assistant, and the kids even enjoy it: Students monitor each other and will request it so that the classroom can be quiet so they can concentrate. I have been using it for at least a couple of years. I would give it a five if they would get some new background images.  I’m tired of these images and would like more. But it is a lifesaver!

### 5/5 — Add a cattle-prod (just kidding)

*2021-05-06, version 5.07*

This is a great app.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 5.08 — 2021-06-20

We have made some interface improvements, minor bug fixes, and support for the latest Apple devices.

### 5.07 — 2019-12-28

We think this is a pretty cool update, we have added suport for the latest Apple devices and iOS version. There is now a "Calibrate" button in "Too Noisy Pro". Often, in different environments, there is a level of background noise that can be considered normal. This might be the constant drone of traffic on a freeway, or noise generated from local industry, even noise generated by different classes within the building. By tapping the "Calibrate" button these "low level background" noises are cancelled out, and not included for display on the "Too Noisy" meter. To operate the "Calibrate" button, simply ask the class to remain silent and then tap the button. The app will sample the noise levels for a 10 second period. The app is calibrated for that level of background noise and can be used as normal. The only noise that should register on the Noise Meter is the noise above the level of background noise just recorded.

We have also improved the "Settings" interface to make it easier for users, as well as adding a great new "Penguin Theme".....Enjoy!

### 5.06 — 2017-01-25

We are really excited about this upgrade for 2017. We have added a "Session Timer" option so Teachers can now set a fixed period of time for the classroom noise to be monitored. If the class keep there noise levels under control for the complete session they can earn 10 Stars! There is a timer bar so all the class can see how long they have left.

We have also added an extra 3 Background themes and 3 new Dial themes to keep things fresh, so that is 120 Theme combinations with more to come... and all FREE to existing users

Thanks for all the positive feedback and suggestions for new features. We really do listen, you can contact us from inside the app, so keep the comments coming and please use this to report any bugs so we can fix them as soon as possible!

Fixed a bug where, under specific circumstances, the award of a “Star” could trigger the removal of a Star. Thanks to those who provided feedback on that issue. 

Fixed a bug where, once the App was closed, the Awarded Stars from the last Session were “saved” and displayed on a new instance of the App running. Thanks again to those who reported the issue.
Please keep the Feedback coming, we always respond, and it helps us make the app as good as it can be!
