NOISE MEASUREMENT WITH SMART DEVICE AND EXTERNAL MICROPHONE – BASICS, ACCURACY AND APPLICATIONS

Journal Title: Ecological Engineering and Environment Protection (EEEP) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2

Abstract

The noise level is measured by instruments called noise meters. In this paper, we look at the possibility of using smart devices with an external microphone instead of noise meters. We explore and compare types of smart devices, external microphones, and software. Their accuracy is compared to professional certified tools. The possibilities for their application in different situations are examined and recommendations are made.
