Footsteps upstairs, loud neighbors, nearby construction. This app turns "it's too loud" into timestamped, numeric records. Every session is automatically timestamped and cannot be edited afterward. Your records build into a day-of-week × hour heatmap, so patterns like "every night around 11 PM" become obvious at a glance. Select a period and export a PDF report you can hand straight to your property manager or landlord. MEASURE - A-weighted (dBA) sound level meter with live value, average (LAeq), max, min, and peak - Per-second level chart and everyday reference labels - Night mode (dimmed display) for long sessions - Calibration to match an external sound level meter - All measurement features are free. Ads are banners plus an occasional full-screen ad, which one video ad pauses for 24 hours. No ads appear on the meter while you are recording RECORD - Start/stop sessions with automatic timestamps, duration, and metrics - Attach audio clips (up to 60 s), photos, notes, and tags - Optional auto-recording of audio when a session starts - iCloud sync keeps your records safe across devices PATTERNS & EXPORT - Day-of-week × hour heatmap reveals when the noise happens - PDF report export (custom date range, audio files can be bundled) - CSV export that opens cleanly in Excel PRICING - One-time purchase only.
