Unlocking the Power of Sound and Vibration Measurement: Introducing Smart Meter Pro

The newly launched Smart Meter Pro app revolutionizes the way users measure sound and vibration. While the previous version, Sound Meter Pro, will continue to receive updates, we highly recommend that new users opt for the advanced version to take full advantage of its enhanced features.

Understanding Sound Pressure Level (SPL) Measurement

The Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter app utilizes your smartphone's microphone to accurately measure noise levels in decibels (dB). This app provides a reliable reference point, having been calibrated against actual sound meters across various Android devices. Users can trust the app for routine noise level assessments, typically ranging from 40 to 70 dB.

It’s important to note that most smartphone microphones are optimized for human voice frequencies (300-3400Hz, 40-60dB). Consequently, the maximum sound level that can be detected is often limited by the device manufacturers. For instance, devices like the Moto G4 can measure up to 94 dB, while the Galaxy S6 and Nexus 5 have maximum thresholds of 85 dB and 82 dB, respectively. Therefore, while the app is an excellent auxiliary tool for measuring everyday noise, it may not accurately capture extremely loud sounds exceeding 100 dB.

Vibrometer: Measuring Vibration and Earthquakes

The Vibrometer feature of the app employs your phone's sensors to measure vibrations, including seismic activity. It provides a reference based on the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale, allowing users to gauge the intensity of vibrations accurately. If the readings appear inaccurate, users can calibrate the app to ensure that the maximum value aligns with the expected range of 10-11 on the MMI scale. However, it’s essential to remember that results should be used for reference only, as the performance and sensitivity of Android devices can vary significantly.

Pro Version Features: Elevate Your Measurement Experience

The Pro version of the app comes packed with features designed to enhance user experience:

• No Ads: Enjoy an uninterrupted experience without advertisements.
• Integrated Sound Meter and Vibrometer: Access both functionalities seamlessly within one app.
• Statistics Menu: Visualize your data with line charts for better analysis.
• CSV File Exporting: Easily export your measurement data for further use.
• Line-Chart Duration: Track changes over time with detailed line-chart capabilities.
• Expanded Calibration: More device models calibrated for improved accuracy.

One-Time Payment for Lifelong Access

Purchasing the Smart Meter Pro app requires a one-time payment, granting users lifelong access to its features. This investment ensures that you have a reliable tool for sound and vibration measurement at your fingertips.

Offline Functionality: Use Anytime, Anywhere

One of the standout features of the app is its offline capability. Users can access the app without an internet connection. After installation, simply open the app 1-2 times while connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data (3G/4G) to ensure proper functionality. Once this is done, you can measure sound and vibrations anywhere, anytime, without the need for an internet connection.
