Low Frequency Detector

This tool measures and analyzes low-frequency sounds that are difficult for the human ear to detect. It helps identify potential noise pollution from sources like construction or factories, providing detailed reports on frequency components and sound levels.

Highlights
  • Low-frequency power level measurement (<100Hz)
  • Audible band power level measurement (Leq)
  • 1/3 octave band analysis (OCT)
  • FFT analysis (FFT)
  • Time course graph (TIME)
  • Measurement report generation
  • Calibration function
Read full description

"Low Frequency Detector" is an acoustic measurement tool for detecting low-frequency sounds that is hard to hear in normal situation. The human ear is not sensitive enough to low-frequency sounds. If you are exposed to noise from nearby construction or factories without realizing it, you may feel discomfort or a sense of pressure. In such cases, you can use this app to check what kind of low-frequency noise is present. Generally, low-frequency sounds is a sound wave ranging from 1Hz to 100Hz. Depending on its frequency component and sound level, the degree of influence on the human body and the noise sensation is different. This app allows you to examine the frequency component of low-frequency sounds by 1/3 octave band analysis and FFT analysis. Features: - Low-frequency power level measurement less than 100Hz (LF Level): Flat characteristic, Updating indication of measurement period 1 sec. - Power level measurement in the audible band (Leq): Flat characteristic, Updating indication of measurement period 200ms. - 1/3 octave band analysis (OCT) - FFT analysis (FFT) - Time course graph (TIME) - Snapshot (Snap) on the measurement display screen. - Report function (Report): Analysis report of a peak LF Level with TIME, OCT and FFT. - Measurement time: up to 60 sec Functions: The measurement analysis is performed in the following step. Be sure to set the measurement conditions in Step-1 once before starting the sound measurement. 1) Calibration (Calibrate): The reference signal (1kHz sine wave) is output to determine the reference noise level for the low-frequency component. If the volume level of iPhone is set to about 20-50%, the calibration will automatically adjust it to the optimum volume level for the reference signal. 2) Measurement (Measure): Analyze a power level of low-frequency sounds. - LF Level (dB): Low-frequency power level less than 100Hz. - Leq (dB): Sound power level with the frequency weight characteristic Z (Flat) of the audible band. 3) Measurement display: It can select either 1/3 octave band frequency analysis, FFT analysis or Time course graph. They are updated in real time. 4) Report: Measurement result report. It is effective when measuring for 10 seconds or more. # Time course graph: TIME - Low-frequency (LF) Level (dB): Time course graph with peak level noise level judgment (RED-very noisy, YELLOW-noisy, GREEN-normal) at the peak level. - LF max (dB): maximum dB value of low frequency. # Frequency response graph: OCT, FFT - OCT Band LF max (dB): maximum dB value in 1/3 octave band at LF max observation. - Max Level Frequency (Hz): peak frequency at LF max observation. Notes: - The sound measurement of the low-frequency range is a level difference with respect to the reference signal, which indicates the relative power level. - The reference signal is output during calibration and sound level measurement. - Do not change the volume level of iPhone after the calibration. - White line in the OCT and FFT modes indicates frequency characteristics in frequency weight correction of G characteristics. - Since iPhone's built-in microphone has a lower sensitivity on the very low frequency range, it is not recommended to measure a huge volume sound near a very loud noise source. - Since it takes a while for the observation value to stabilize immediately after the start of measurement, the maximum value is calculated from about 2 seconds later. - In the case high power of 1kHz component is included in the measured noise source, the precision of measured value by this app largely decreases. - Sudden noise or impulsive sounds are not low frequency noises in general. - The previous calibration information can be maintained internally. - The analysis results may vary due to individual differences in iPhone devices. - The authorization to access built-in microphone and Photos will be confirmed by iOS system at first access.

Did you know that the energy that the sun radiates onto the earth for one hour could cover the world's energy needs for one year? It is precisely this solar power that you can also use in the future to save money on the one hand and to be economically independent and efficient on the other. We would like to help you clarify important questions in the run-up to a solar project: Is my house or building suitable for a solar system? How much can be saved in the long term with a PV system? How much does a solar system cost and after what period of time will these expenses be amortised by the solar system? Based on the individual parameters you enter (electricity bill, age and size of the house roof, location, electricity storage), we carry out an analysis and produce concrete key figures as a result. If you wish, we can also prepare a customized offer for your project.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Solar Agent at 100% against Low Frequency Detector's 50%. Solar Agent also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months) and price ($3.99 vs $9.99). Low Frequency Detector's advantage is rating (2.8 vs 1.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Low Frequency Detector holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Low Frequency Detector has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Low Frequency Detector's written reviews are positive against 100% of Solar Agent's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Low Frequency Detector ships an update every 9 months, Solar Agent every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
