logSPL

This app functions as a sophisticated sound level meter, offering both basic and advanced features for measuring noise. It allows users to adjust update rates, select weighting types, and view historical data and real-time histograms. Calibration is recommended for optimal accuracy.

Highlights
  • Sound level measurement
  • Adjustable update rates (fast/slow)
  • Weighting options (A, C, Z)
  • Min/max value monitoring
  • Average value computation (Leq)
  • Historical curve with grid
  • Real-time histogram
  • Dosemetering capabilities

Read full description

This App is a full featured sound level meter, designed by a signal processing expert. It is iPhone/iPod/iPad compatible and adapts itself to the actual screen resolutions ("HD", "retina"). It consists in two parts: half top for basic features, half bottom for advanced ones (L95, %D, ...). Half top was thus designed to be extremely easy to use. Only two settings are requested: * select 'fast' or 'slow' update rate, which corresponds to 2 different integration periods * select the type of weighting: A or C or Z (Z meaning roughly: no filtering) These settings are saved when exiting the App. Some tips for weighting: * select A to evaluate the feeling of a person against a noise * select Z to balance an audio system Supports upside-down orientation. The min and max values are monitored and displayed in green in the upper view. An average value (Leq, LAeq, ...) is computed on top of this: the green triangle. Take care that this latter corresponds to the logarithm of the average power and not to the average of logarithm values, which is completely different. Integration time for this average value is: all time since start-up of the App or last reset. To reset these extreme and average values, touch the text named RESET. Bottom view is used to display an historical curve. A grid is visible, with lines every 10dB vertical and 10s horizontal. Half bottom now: * a real-time histogram is displayed on left side * it can compute L%: L95, L50, ... * it can make some dosemetering: for this you need to set threshold, criterion and exchange values. This is for advanced users due to the complexity of underlying concepts As for all sound-meter (at any price, hardware or software), you should calibrate it against a reference in order to achieve best accuracy. For this go to Mic. tab to add or remove a fixed offset to the measured values. Any question ? Click on the Facebook icon !

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: logSPL at 5.0 against count's 4.3. logSPL also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 18 months). count's advantage is chart position (#147 vs unranked) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

logSPL costs $1.99 and count $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

logSPL holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: count has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of logSPL's written reviews are positive against 60% of count's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

logSPL ships an update every 4 months, count every 18 months. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
