Sound level meter for HVAC and fan noise: dB, spectrum, NR, limits, PDF report
HVAC Noise Analyzer is a decibel meter built for ventilation, heating, air
conditioning and fan noise. It shows not only how loud a room is in dB, but what
kind of sound it is, at which frequencies, and how it compares with Finnish
building requirements. Made for HVAC installers, commissioning and balancing,
building inspectors, property managers and anyone bothered by a noisy duct,
air conditioner or heat pump.
SOUND LEVEL METER
Live A-weighted sound level (LAS), maximum level (LAFmax with true 125 ms F time
weighting), equivalent level (LAeq), dominant frequency and a third-octave
spectrum. Switch between A, C and Z weighting. A 60-second level history graph
shows how the noise changes while a fan speeds up or a damper is adjusted.
NOISE TYPE
The app identifies the noise type: airflow hiss, low-frequency rumble, sharp
hiss from terminal units and diffusers, fan tone, electrical hum or whistle, and
suggests what to check.
TIMED MEASUREMENT (PREMIUM)
Measure continuously or for 30 s, 1 min or 5 min. The measurement stops by
itself and offers to save the result.
ACCURATE MICROPHONE INPUT
The microphone is read with the device's unprocessed audio source whenever the
phone supports it. Ordinary recording passes through automatic gain control and
noise suppression, which remove exactly the steady ventilation noise you want to
measure.
SPECTRUM ANALYZER
Third-octave or octave band bars with max hold. Tap a band to see its value.
Save a measurement as a reference before an adjustment and see the difference
band by band afterwards. Export the spectrum as a CSV file for Excel or further
acoustic analysis.
NOISE LIMITS AND NR RATING (PREMIUM)
Choose the room type and requirement, and the measurement is compared with:
- Decree of the Ministry of the Environment 796/2017 (new buildings, building
services equipment), including the stricter limit for tonal noise
- Housing Health Decree 545/2015 (action limits), including the tonal
correction and the low-frequency noise table for bedrooms
The NR (Noise Rating) value is calculated from octave bands using the ISO/R 1996
curves.
PDF REPORT (PREMIUM)
Save measurements with a room name and notes, then create an A4 PDF noise report
with a summary table, limit checks, NR rating, octave chart and noise type for
each room. Share it by email or cloud storage.
CALIBRATION
A phone microphone is not a calibrated instrument. Compare the reading with a
sound level meter once and set the correction. It is remembered.
HELP AND LIGHT THEME
Built-in help explains how to measure and how to read LAeq, LAFmax, the
spectrum, NR and the limits, and answers common questions. It works offline.
Choose a dark or light theme, or follow the system setting.
FREE AND PREMIUM
Free: sound level meter, spectrum analyzer, level history, noise type
detection, calibration and up to 3 saved measurements.
Premium is a one-time purchase with no subscription and no ads: limit
comparison and NR rating, PDF report, unlimited saving, reference spectrum,
timed measurement and CSV export.
PRIVACY
Audio is analysed on the device in real time and never recorded or stored. No
account, no ads, no analytics, no network access.
GOOD TO KNOW
Results are indicative and do not replace a measurement with a class 1 sound
level meter. Phone microphones attenuate frequencies below 100 Hz, and in very
quiet rooms the phone's own noise limits the lowest measurable level.
Languages: English, Finnish, Swedish.
