I like all of the Smart Tools apps. I have the calculator, unit converter, and sound meter. Edited

I just now tried a bunch of these, looking for a meter app to help find the correct level that audio should be mixed at, for my recording studio. Sure, I'll calibrate it with an actual meter when I'm finished with renovations but this app is pretty close, if it's not spot on. All the other ones I tried (started from the highest rating down) were way off. They were still only reading 73dB when it was dangerously loud and 43dB when the only noise in the room was a "silent" computer fan. Edited

Excellent. Click the 3-dots for Landscape view. Read its accurate Blog re its limitations, which are an unavoidable consequence of approximating a sound meter on a wide variety of phones. Ads are not excessive. Comparing it on my Oppo A52 against a TOMSHOO A-weighted Noise Detector ($18 from Temu), a -2dB 'Calibration' gave averages within 3dB of the TOMSHOO in the 75-80dB range, with maxima under-reported by ~8dB, and pink noise under-reported by ~3dB. So: convenient for gym music volumes. Edited

Ads get disruptive to the point making this app useless when you want to urgently measure the noise. At the launch you get a bunch of full screen ads you cannot skip, so by the time you get to the functionality - it's too late. It's like rotating the ads all the time while this app is running wasn't enough, with those full-screen ads you don't get to use the app, but you see the ads instead. Uninstalling this rubbish.

It seems to give accurate results although I have assessed this from guidelines as to typical noise levels rather than any comparisons with professional meters. I assume the results are linear sound pressure rather than A weighted. It is interesting and it makes me more aware of problematic sources of noise that might endanger hearing.
