    Measuring Noise - Nice App

    I've seen several posts in different threads regarding noise. It could be the noise through a dual pane vs. single pane window. It might be the noise generated by a generator, or noise from an AC unit. I have a noise meter, but you may not want to spend any money for one if you already have a smart phone.

    If any of you want to measure the noise to give a reference, there is a nice smart Phone app for doing so. For Android and I-Phones, use the app "Sound Meter". There are limitations on how high a noise it can measure since the phone's microphone is calibrated for human voice. Typically, the limit is 85-100 dB which will still allow you to measure most noise sources you'd be concerned about. Also, it's probably not real accurate compared to a sound meter, but for comparative purposes, it should be sufficient.
