## What is Too Noisy Starter?

Anyone who has attempted to keep the noise levels under control of a group of youngsters will appreciate this simple, fun, and engaging app. A fun app that children enjoy and respond to.

"Too Noisy Starter" displays graphically the background noise level in a room. 

This “STARTER” version of the popular “Too Noisy Pro” app is designed to give the teacher a flavour of the capabilities of the “Pro” version. Users can upgrade to the Pro version (with features such as “Star Awards”, Audible Alarms, Multiple Themes, granular controls and numerous other fun features) from inside the App.

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. 

So how does it work?

If the noise level is acceptable a happy, smiling, contented character is displayed. 

If the levels of noise increases beyond what the responsible adult has determined as acceptable the character puts his fingers in his ears and background graphic changes to reflect the unacceptable noise level. 

Once the level of noise returns to an acceptable leve, l the background graphic reverts back and the character returns to the happy contented one.

On occasions, it may well be that a higher level of background noise is acceptable, depending on the activity the children are engaged in. In this case the responsible adult can adjust the sensitivity of the app so that a higher level of noise is required before the graphic changes.

In addition there is a “Damper Setting”. This “dampens” the amount of movement of the needle. This helps reduce the impact of any sudden noises such as doors slamming or someone sneezing.

Where projectors, TV's or monitors are used, for example in classrooms, the image of the app can be mirrored to these devices so that the noise levels of larger groups of children can be controlled. Note: This feature is only available with the iPad 2, iPhone 4s and later devices and will require additional apps and/or hardware.

## Frequently asked questions about Too Noisy Starter

### What does the Too Noisy Starter app do?

Too Noisy Starter visually displays the background noise level in a room. It uses a character that changes its expression and the background graphic to indicate whether the noise level is acceptable or too high. This helps responsible adults manage noise in groups, particularly children, in a fun and engaging manner.

### How does the app help manage noise levels?

The app provides a visual cue for noise levels. When noise is acceptable, a happy character is shown. If the noise exceeds a set threshold, the character reacts by covering its ears and the background changes. This visual feedback often encourages children to self-regulate their noise levels through peer pressure.

### Is Too Noisy Starter free to use?

This is the 'Starter' version of the app, designed to offer a taste of its capabilities. Users can upgrade to the full 'Too Noisy Pro' version from within the app to access additional features like Star Awards, audible alarms, multiple themes, and more granular controls. The Starter version itself is free to download and use.

### What devices is Too Noisy Starter compatible with?

The description mentions that mirroring features are available on iPad 2, iPhone 4s, and later devices, requiring additional apps and/or hardware. While specific OS version compatibility isn't detailed, it's generally designed for modern iOS devices. Users should check the app store for precise compatibility information.

### What are the key features of the Starter version?

The Starter version includes a graphical display of the noise level, a character that reacts to the sound, adjustable sensitivity to set acceptable noise thresholds, and a 'Damper Setting' to reduce the impact of sudden noises. It also offers the ability to mirror the app's display to external devices on compatible hardware.
