Which Phones Have the Decibel Meter?

The built-in meter runs on iPhone and on Samsung's Galaxy S-series flagship phones. On other Android phones you rate a place by ear — Quiet, Moderate, Loud or Very Loud — and everything else in the app works the same. Apple Watch users can also see their surroundings' noise data on the submissions screen.

A Note on Accuracy

SoundPrint measures the approximate decibel level and is not a replacement for a professional sound level meter. Measurements are a good guide to what a place is usually like, not a guarantee of any single night.
