Decibel meter app suggestions

Saw your post while searching for something else, but thought I'd let you know about this professional grade app from an NIH govt lab that works on Acoustics research. Only caveat app only works on iOS. It can make average measurements, A and Z weighting, can calibrate external mics, etc..

I have it on my iPhone and it's truly amazing piece of work: https://twitter.com/NIOSHNoise/status/822186936093868035

Best of all, it's free!

I have been happy decibel10th it gives a constant read of db level and also keeps track of peak. How i have used it is to start the app and place it about 10-15 ft in front and about 45deg from muzzle then after i set it down i reset the peak and then walk back and shoot. Seems to work really well, my mutant std is reading 77 db if i remember correctly.

please post here if your happy with the above suggestion.

Also when i was researching i came across an article stating that the current phone db meters were within 1-3db of the consumer grade db meters. You would only see more accuracy if your buying a professional grade machine.

Not a app but a cheap good db reader on ebay, Dr.Meter sound meter these can be found for 15 to 20 bucks shipped to your door, I have had one now for about 5 months and it's still working great. Hope this helps
