Since then, SoundMeter has been validated by professional researchers as \u201cthe app best suited for occupational and general purpose noise measurements.\u201d With a continued pursuit of accuracy, precision, and reliability, Faber Acoustical announces SoundMeter X as the newest version of SoundMeter for iOS.<\/p>\n<p>SoundMeter may be downloaded for free from the App Store. The free download includes a sound level meter tool, which supports time-weighted sound levels, Lp, with flat frequency weighting and fast time weighting (LpAF). Additional tools and features are offered via auto-renewable subscriptions. SoundMeter Standard, SoundMeter Pro, and Pro Tool Set subscriptions may be purchased in increments of 1 month or 1 year.<\/p>\n<p>Major additions to the new SoundMeter X include a multi-channel data recorder tool, for streaming sound information to audio files, and the ability to share a Pro Tool Set subscription with the new SignalScope X\u2014a single subscription unlocks Pro tools in both apps. SoundMeter\u2019s Pro Tool Set subscription unlocks all tools and features of the SoundMeter Pro subscription in SoundMeter X and all tools and features of the Pro Tool Set subscription in SignalScope X. Users who have already purchased the Pro Tool Set subscription within SignalScope X will be able to access the Pro features in SoundMeter X while that subscription is active. An iCloud account login is required for syncing subscriptions between the two apps.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.faberacoustical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_4428crop.jpg\"
