The blog at FaberAcoustical.com is a valuable resource for those performing measurements related to audio, acoustics, electronics or vibration on Mac or iOS devices.
Can you please indicate the accuracy of the iPad dB sound recorders from the App store compared with the professional recorders.
For example are they say 90% less accurate or approx what??
Many thanks
SoundMeter or SoundMeter Pro running on an iPad can be just as accurate as a dedicated sound level meter. It depends on what kind of microphone you use and how well you calibrate it. To get a better idea, check out this article which references some research regarding sound level measurements using the iPhone’s built-in microphone.
I am looking for general microphone response charts for as many mobile devices as I can find. Is there any good resources you could recommend to help with this?
