"The best way to meter sound levels" - AppAdvice Decibel Meter is full of features sound level meter with exclusive accuracy of measurements and integrated spectrum analyzer. Calibrated with professional dB meter. The world is a noisy place: cars, power tools, crowds, machinery, and other common sources produce amounts of noise that can, with continued exposure, lead to permanent hearing loss. Sound level meters are useful for anyone who wants to avoid exposing their ears to harmful noise levels, but who wants to spend hundreds of dollars on one? dB Meter is free app which provides professional-quality measurement results, calibrated using an actual Nor140 high-precision decibel meter. With dB Meter, you can measure ambient noise levels, save your measurements and their locations, and share your measurements with others. dB Meter couples utility with stylish design and a polished user experience: a powerful tool in a sleek package, and at a tiny fraction of the cost of professional sound level meters. (Please note that dB Meter soundmeter app is not a replacement for professional devices and should be used for personal purposes only.) FEATURES: ● Health App integration. Export measured noise levels and audiogram directly to Health app. ● Noise dosimeter regarding NIOSH and OSHA standards ● Photo & video with the noise overlay ● Powerful hearing test ● Saves location data for each measurement. ● Save measurements with custom names and rename existing measurements. ● Export measurements in CSV or Audio format. ● Allows you to save, export and play back recorded measurements. ● Highly accurate measurements. ● Integrated Fully Functional Spectrum Analyzer ● Octave Band Real Time Analyzer ● FFT Plot (Fast Fourier Transform) ● Spectrogram ● Linear and logarithm scales ● Up to 16384 FFT size ● A lot of available window functions ● Tracking for max value ● Max and Min for any selected frequency ● Stunned graphics You can enable or disable noise levels data exporting to Health app in dB Meter Pro app settings.

About

Vibrochecker Pro

This app analyzes vibrations and spectrums using your device's sensors or an external piezo-electronic sensor. It measures and records accelerations, calculates spectral ranges via FFT, and allows data sharing via email. Ideal for technicians needing portable vibration analysis.

Highlights
  • 3-axis vibration measurement
  • Spectrum analysis via FFT
  • Internal and external sensor support
  • Adjustable scanning rates
  • Data saving and email export
  • Variable measuring time and start delay

Read full description

VibroChecker PRO is a fully-fledged vibration and spectrum analyzer, developed for use on iPhones and iPads. The app uses the optional integrated acceleration sensor or gyroscopes and also allows the connection of an external, high-resolution and professional piezo-electronic sensor (DIGIDUCER 333D01) via the lightning interface. The app is a joint development by the companies ACE Stoßdämpfer GmbH, Fabreeka Inc. and Tech Products Inc. (Kaydon  - Motion Controls Group). The app was designed for external technicians working for Motion Controls and the company’s sales partners. The purchase price is a nominal charge; the external sensor is not included in the price. The light and convenient combination of the high-quality piezo-electronic sensor and the portable vibration and spectrum analyzer on the iPad/iPhone represents an outstanding and extremely easy to transport alternative to existing profile solutions in many applications. The app measures and records accelerations over time and calculates the spectral range using a FFT. The integrated 3-channel acceleration sensor has a sensitivity level of around 0.02g and a range of ± 2g. This sensitivity, with an adjustable scanning rate of 10Hz to 100Hz for the internal sensor and 1kHZ to 16kHz for the external Digiducer, means that the acceleration sensors are capable of measuring vibrations, defective bearings, excitation frequencies of machines and accelerations during material transport in a simple and accurate way. Once the measurement has been completed, the measurement results can be saved or simply sent to your own desktop or to a customer/specialist department using the e-mail function. Some of the core functions include: -  3-axes of measurement -  Variable measuring time -  Variable start delay of 0-20 seconds - Triggering - Selection of scanning rate 10Hz to 100Hz for the internal sensor and 1kHZ to 16kHz for the external Digiducer sensor - Adjustable autorepeat function - Transmission/storage of measurement data by e-mail as a CSV-file
