NoiseCapture

NoiseCapture App is an application dedicated to the evaluation of your noise environment . It allows to perform measurements and, thus, to give information on your noise exposure. In addition, you can contribute to the realization of collaborative (or community) noise maps by anonymously sharing your measurements.

New ! :

If your smartphone is already calibrated, you can now calibrate other smartphones with the application, based on the ambient noise. Select Automatic Calibration in the Calibration menu, in "Transmitter" mode for the reference smartphone and "Receiver" mode for the smartphones to be calibrated. Approach the smartphones together and start calibration from the reference smartphone. The rest is automatic.

Features :

• Noise measurement and calculation of acoustic indicators (Leq, Lamin, LAmax, LA10, LA50, LA90...) on a journey

• Measurement description (text, photo, tags)

• Viewing measurements on a map

• Measurement history

• Smartphone calibration with a reference device

• Detailed help on using the application

Recommendations for the 'best' measurement (see Help for details):

• The smartphone should not be in the pocket but hand held

• The smartphone microphone should not be hidden

• The noise measurement must be carried out without adding noise!

• It is possible to use an external and calibrated microphone

Contribute to collaborative noise maps :

• Allow the transfer of measures into the community

• Realize mmeasurement outside buildings

• Do not measure when rainning or with wind
