Noise measurement and incident documentation

Your neighbor is loud.
Keep the details.
Choose your next step.

Measure environmental noise, save recordings, and keep incident details together. With Pro, create PDF reports, export CSV data, and prepare complaint letters for you to review and share.

Available on Google Play. The iOS version is being prepared and is not yet available on the App Store. Recording limits differ by platform; see the FAQ.

How it works
Three steps to
a clearer record.

Organize what happened, then decide what to share. Measurements are estimates and templates are guidance.

1

Start a measurement

Start the meter and choose manual audio recording or threshold-based saving. On iOS, keep the app open: capture stops when you switch apps or lock the screen. On supported Android versions, a microphone foreground service can continue an explicitly started session with a recording notification.

2

Generate PDF report

With Pro, turn your saved measurements and incident details into a PDF report. Review the content before sharing. Reports are personal documentation, not certified acoustic assessments.

3

Review and share

Choose an available template, check the facts, recipient and local requirements, then share using your chosen app. Noise Log does not file or send complaints automatically.

Recording & Evidence
Keep the details
in one place.

Recording behavior depends on your platform. iOS capture stops in the background; supported Android versions use a visible microphone-service notification. Interruptions can end a session.

🎙

Real-time dB meter

Follow estimated sound levels with a live visual indicator. Results vary with your microphone, placement and calibration.

🔔

Auto-record above threshold

Choose a threshold for automatic audio saving during an active measurement. On iOS, automatic saving is off by default and requires a separate confirmation.

🎧

Audio evidence attached

Save audio when you choose Record or enable automatic saving. Sessions without audio remain useful as measurement logs.

📍

GPS location tag

Optionally add location and a resolved address when permission is granted. You can record without location access and enter an address yourself; address lookup can use network services.

FAQ
Common questions.
No. They are estimates for personal documentation. Device hardware, placement, calibration and the environment affect results. Noise Log does not certify readings or guarantee that a landlord, authority or court will accept a report. Check the recipient’s requirements and seek qualified advice where needed.
On iOS, measurement and recording stop when you lock the screen or switch apps. Returning does not restart the microphone: press Start again. On supported Android versions, an explicitly started measurement can continue through a microphone foreground service with a notification and Stop action. The system, a process termination or another interruption can still stop it. Active measurement uses the microphone continuously; automatic audio saving controls when an audio file is written. Battery use depends on the device and settings.
Noise capture and local storage do not require an app account. Purchases, restoration and Pro entitlement checks use the store and RevenueCat and may need a connection, including before an export. Optional address lookup uses platform geocoding services. Sharing, store reviews and external links can also use the internet.
No. They are editable starting points for you to review. Local rules, procedures and recipients vary and may change. Check current requirements and get qualified advice for formal proceedings.
Your recordings, measurements and generated reports are stored on your device. Noise Log does not upload these recordings to a company recording server. Files can leave the device when you choose to share them or through device backup/transfer settings. Optional address lookup can send coordinates to platform services. RevenueCat and the app store separately process purchase-related data. See the Privacy Policy.
The current Pro offer is a one-time lifetime purchase, with no automatic renewal or subscription trial. The store screen shows the product and local price before purchase. Use Restore Purchases with the relevant store account when needed. If you previously bought a different product or subscription, check that store’s receipt and subscription settings; uninstalling an app does not cancel a legacy subscription.
Measurement and local recording are not limited to the example countries here. Template selection varies by app version. A template does not guarantee compliance with every local rule. Feature and store availability can differ by platform, version and region.

Stop hoping they'll
stop. Keep a noise log.

Start with a clear record of the noise you experience. Measure, save the details, and review before you share.
