Noise you have to show someone? Hush is the decibel meter that keeps the record. With Hush Pro, every recording keeps how loud it got, when and where, with a photo, and becomes a PDF report someone else can read. The live meter is free. Recordings, photos and video with the dB on them, dossiers and reports need Hush Pro. No account needed. Neighbors, a bar terrace, traffic, building works, a site, an event or a facility check: a reading on a meter app is gone when you close it. Hush keeps it. LIVE METER • Live dBA level you can read at a glance • LAeq, Lmax, LCpeak and L90 while you measure • Live octave-band analyzer KEEP THE RECORD • Each recording saves the level with a photo, the place (GPS and address) and the time • Live camera puts the level, place and time on your photos and videos • History, waveform and spectrum for every recording DOSSIERS AND REPORTS • Collect the recordings for one address, venue or site in a dossier with a map • Export a PDF or CSV report for one recording or a whole dossier • The method and limits are stated in every report, so the reader knows what the numbers mean UNDERSTAND THE SOUND • LAeq: the average level over the measurement • Lmax: the loudest moment • LCpeak: short C-weighted peaks, such as bangs and bass thumps • L90: the background level, exceeded 90% of the time • Octave bands show whether it is low rumble, voices or a high whine PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Sound is analyzed on your iPhone; audio is not sent to us • Saving microphone audio is optional • Optional private iCloud sync • Works with widgets, Apple Watch, Shortcuts and Live Activity HUSH PRO The live meter is free. Everything that keeps the record needs Hush Pro: saved recordings with photo, place and time, Live camera, dossiers, PDF and CSV reports, history, waveform and spectrum. Terms of Use: https://hushdecibel.com/en-US/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://hushdecibel.com/en-US/privacy/ KNOW THE LIMITS Readings are indicative: they are estimated with the iPhone's built-in microphone and depend on the device, its case and how you hold it. Hush is not a certified sound level meter. It does not tell you whether a level is safe for hearing or allowed under any rule. The method and limits are stated in every report.
