A "beep" somewhere in the middle of the night... where is it coming from?
Otosagashi (Sound Finder) is a small toolbox for the sound problems in a home. Hunt for a sound source, check noise, measure a repeating beep and keep a night sound log, all with one phone.
WHO IT IS FOR
- You cannot tell what is making a beep in the night
- You want to check whether it is a smoke alarm warning about its battery
- You want to track down a strange noise or a high-pitched tone at home
- You would like a rough idea of how loud your room is right now
- You want to look back in the morning at what sounds happened while you slept
- You want to try a fun ear age check
WHAT IT DOES
- Source hunter: walk around with your phone and the meter gets "hotter" as you close in on the source. For tracking down a mystery sound
- Intermittent catcher: automatically measures the interval and pitch of a beep that repeats every few dozen seconds. A culprit guide narrows down the candidates (a high beep every few dozen seconds is classically a smoke alarm warning about its battery)
- Noise check: shows how loud it is now, as a rough dB figure and as a comparison such as "about like a library"
- Overnight sound log: records only the sound events while you sleep (time, strength, pitch) to look back on in the morning
- Ear age check: a bit of fun to see how high a tone you can still hear, with a nice result card
EXAMPLE
1. When a beep bothers you, open the intermittent catcher
2. Wait for the next beep and the interval and pitch are measured automatically
3. Check the possible culprits in the culprit guide
4. Walk around the room with the source hunter and close in on the spot
5. Once you have a candidate, read the what-to-do steps for taking an alarm down or finding the battery model (Premium)
PREMIUM (one-time purchase, no auto-renewal)
- The culprit guide's what-to-do steps (how to take an alarm down, how to find the battery model, who to ask)
- The overnight sound log
- There is no monthly charge
BEING HONEST
- This app is not a measuring instrument. The numbers are a rough guide shaped by your microphone
- The ear age check is a rough bit of fun. It is not a hearing test and not a diagnosis
- The candidates it suggests are a guide, nothing more
PRIVACY
- Sound from the microphone is analysed on the spot only. No recording is saved and none is sent
- All record data stays inside this device. Nothing is sent anywhere. No ads, no tracking
FAQ
Q. Is my sound recorded?
A. No. Sound is analysed on the spot only. Nothing is saved or sent.
Q. Is it as accurate as a real sound level meter?
A. No. The numbers are a rough guide shaped by your phone's microphone. For exact measurements, use a dedicated instrument.
Q. Can it always identify the sound?
A. It only narrows down candidates, so it can be wrong.
