About AudioMeter

A simple VU-style audio meter. You can choose from several formulas to allow

the meter to work in low- and high-noise level enviromnents.

I noticed there was no audio meter in F-Droid, so I thought I'd build one.

The app offers a few ways to calculate the audio level to display:

* dBFS: Decibels relative to Full Scale.

* RMS: Root Mean Square. This is arguable the most correct, but it is a little insensitive at low volumes.

* LogRMS: Natural log of RMS: My first attempt to even out the scale. It's a little too sensitive to noisy mics.

* SqrtRMS: Squareroot of RMS: My second attempt to even out RMS: it seems to works best.

* Max: Simply find the loudest bit of each sample. Most responsive, but will peg the scale on noisey places.

* Avg: Simple average of the sound.

How to install AudioMeter

  1. Tap Download — the app's official page on F-Droid opens.
  2. Install it with the F-Droid app (recommended, for automatic updates), or use the download button on that page.
  3. If Android asks, allow the F-Droid app or your browser to install apps, then tap Install.
  4. Open AudioMeter from your app drawer.
