Description

SoundMeter X turns your iPhone or iPad into a handheld data-logging sound level meter (SLM), data-logging noise dosimeter, stereo signal generator, multi-channel data recorder, and real-time whole or 1/3 octave band spectrum analyzer (subscription required for most features--try it out with a 14-day free trial).
Input signals can be acquired from the current (manually selectable) audio input path. Sensitivity calibration can also be performed for any audio input device and/or input channel. Direct hardware support (automatic sensitivity calibration, based on factory-defined values) for The Modal Shop’s 2-channel 485B39 USB-ICP interface and miniDSP’s UMIK-1, UMIK-2, and E.A.R.S. microphones.
In addition to real-time sound level measurements, SoundMeter can stream raw sound data to audio files, and store acquired sound level data, including date, time, and location, in CSV or TXT (tab-delimited) files, MAT-files, or high-resolution PDF images for later retrieval from your device.

SoundMeter X Reviews

problem solved

BernardBH on

Italy

I was quite outraged at the app not working on my new device, I had previously purchased the app for an older device and finding out the updated version required a subscription had me furious, I wrote to Faber expressing my outrage and was met with a polite and quick response explaining the release of an update that solved all compatibility problems, works just like it used to and with an updated GUI I quite enjoy, 100% satisfied customer again! Highly recommended.

Best SLM app out there

giant kelp freak on

United States

I tested the app with 4 different phones of 4 different generations, and every one was 0.5 dBA from my type 1 meter when measuring white noise. I’m floored. I have been recommending this app to everyone. For 99% of people, the free portion of this app is all you’ll ever need.

Cheaters

sjrdragon on

United States

I installed Sound Meter years ago and spent under a hundred dollars upgrading tools. Now I cannot even access the purchased tools because of unfettered profit subscription and decision not to support prior legacy sales. Do not buy services! Any company that sells add -ons for 100 dollars, then discontinued legacy support cannot be trusted.

Rip off! Save your money.

Several years ago I bought the whole suit of apps from this company only to find out recently that all the products I bought have been rendered non-functional by them. Instead of being able to use the apps I already paid for, they want me to pay buy new versions. The developer response to other similar comments is you can still use your old app. If you buy a new device, you can't because they removed the old app from the App Store! What a bunch of crooks!!

Useless free app unless you pay big money

Can’t do anything without expensive subscriptions

Multiple, multiple subscriptions required of all sorts and prices to do anything worthwhile. Better to pass on this one.

Accurate sound meter

J_in_orf on

United States

So I saw a lot of complaints regarding the cost of licensing and others based on folks who feel that they were cheated out of licensing. While I cannot comment on those specifics, remember that Microsoft does the exact same thing with Office 365. The developers have to pay the bills as well. As for the free version of this app, it does what it says, and does it well. I tested it against an actual sound meter and had readings within 1 dB of each other across a wide spectrum of intensities and frequencies. For most people, I’m sure this accuracy will suffice. The user interface is fairly intuitive and easy to use. It fits the bill for my, especially since the basic version is free.

These product has proven to be very reliable and very productive in my work. I will definitely recommend it.
