iPhone as Integrating Sound Level Meter

On Monday 10th November the Acoustics Group tested sound level meter apps for the Apple iPhone. Using the iPhone external microphone it is possible, via Sound Meter by Faber Acoustical, to use the iPhone as an integrating sound level meter with reasonable accuracy, measuring LAeq,T. LCpeak can be measured but not simultaneously. The OS is a bit wobbly, calibration with a standard calibrator is possible. The max sound level is limited to around 95 dBA. The app costs $20.
