I found this app, and installed it to see what noise level my neighbors have been sending my way. 7 months and I had no way to stop them until now. Most of last night was between 76 and 81 decibels. Our County has a quiet ordinance and now I can prove the noise level. I took screen pics of the levels. This seems simple, easy to use & highly advised for Android phone. I did not realize the damage sound does to our bodies, but I sure do now.

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.

It looks like the author does not get the concept of dBA, as in introduction the dBA means calibrate. However the A weight method refers to the human ear sensitivity. I need this value, and other alternatives application can provide it.
