OpeNoise vs UNDERSEA

OpeNoise is a real-time noise level meter. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: - Real-time A-weighted sound pressure level measurement - Minimum and maximum level - Third octave and FFT analysis - Data saving in text file - Calibration - Displaying measurements on a map - Metadata compilation - Sharing calibration and measurements with the OpeNoise community TERM OF USE This app is not intended for professional use, it does not necessarily guarantee an accurate noise measurement. Since each device has a different response to noise, a comparison with a professional noise level meter in the measurement dynamic range is required. The utilization of the app requires adequate technical knowledge and skill; an extemporary measurement might not be correct. The calibrations and measurements sent to the OpeNoise community will be used for statistical purposes only and cannot be used in any way to verify compliance with legal limits.

The UNDERSEA app supports marine conservation by tracking small vessels in real time during Noise Clean-up events in the Adriatic Sea. It uses continuous background location monitoring to collect accurate data essential for assessing underwater noise pollution. Users are clearly notified when background tracking is active. This app engages citizens and researchers by gathering vessel movement data that supports cross-border efforts to monitor, manage, and reduce human-generated underwater noise, promoting healthier marine ecosystems. The app respects your privacy and only uses location data to support these environmental goals. Funded by the Interreg Italy–Croatia program.
