About this app

"Decibel X PRO" is one of very few sound meter apps on the market that has highly reliable, pre-calibrated measurements and supports frequency weightings: ITU-R 468, A and C. It turns your phone device into a professional noise meter, precisely measures the sound pressure level (SPL) all around you. This extremely useful and beautiful tool will not only be an essential gadget for many uses but also bring you a lot of fun. Have you wondered how quiet is your room or how loud is a rock concert or sport event? "Decibel X PRO" will help you answer all of those.

WHAT MAKES "DECIBEL X PRO" SPECIAL:

- Trusted accuracy: the app is carefully tested and calibrated for most devices. The precision is matching with real SPL devices
- Frequency weighting filters: ITU-R 468, A, B, C, Z
- Spectrum analyzer: FFT and BAR graphs to display real time FFT. Those are very useful for frequency analysis and musical tests. Real time predominant frequency is also displayed.
- Powerful, smart history data management:
+ Recording data can be saved into a list of history records for future access and analysis
+ Each record can be exported as hi-res PNG graph or CSV text via sharing services
+ Fullscreen mode to give overview the whole history of an record
- Dosimeter: NIOSH, OSHA standards
- InstaDecibel to capture your dB report overlaid on photos and easily shared via popular social networks (Facebook, Instagram, etc.).
- Support both Portrait and Landscape layouts
- Beautiful, intuitive and carefully crafted UI design

OTHER FEATURES:

- Standard time weightings (Response Time): SLOW (500 milliseconds) and FAST (200 milliseconds)
- Trimming calibration from -15 dB to 15 dB
- Standard measurement range from 30 dBA up to 130 dBA
- HISTO graph for plotted history of the recorded values
- WAVE graph with 2 display modes: Rolling & Buffer
- Real time scale level chart
- Display Current, Average/Leq, and Max values with both nice and clear digital and analog layouts
- Quick reference text to help you compare with real-life examples
- "Keep Device Stay Awake" option for long duration recording
- Reset and clear current recording at any time
- Pause/Resume at any time

NOTES:

- Please do not expect a quiet room reading will be 0 dBA. The range 30 dBA - 130 dBA is the standard usable range and an average quiet room will be about 30 dBA.
- Although most devices are pre-calibrated, custom calibration is suggested for serious purposes requiring higher precision and accuracy. To calibrate, you will need a real external device or calibrated sound meter as a reference, then adjust the trimming value until the reading matches with the reference.

I love this app. I have been using it for the past few years in a variety of settings from live music venues to home audio systems to measurements of environmental and occupational noise. While it won't suffice to replace a type 2 or better sound level meter, it's extremely handy for use in walk throughs or quick surveys.

I can't get the dose meter to run for more than about 10 minutes. Can anyone else? .. I've tried the last 5 updates, installing it on Android 7, 8 and 14 and I've had no response from the support emails. If the dose meter worked as designed for as long as I needed (6 hours would do) then this app would be great and well worth the £25.99 I paid. But at present it does not and I've been refused a refund.

I've only just started using this app so I'll not offer any particular comment other than to say I'm enjoying the easy to use interface and functionality. I've tried it on two different Samsung Galaxy tablets (Android 7.0 and 8.0) and on two chinese smartphones and for some strange reason the app does not register any sound on the Xiaomi RedMi 4x (Android 7.1.2) and yes, I have checked that all permissions are enabled. I've emailed the developer about the issue and await a response. Using the RedMi 4x as a signal generator, the 3 working devices gave extremely accurate frequency readings but as you'd expect, the decibel levels varied due to the different microphone characteristics. Apart from the RedMi 4x issue, I'm happy to give 4 stars for the moment.
