Comparison of Environment Noise Intensity Using Ios and Android Based Sound Measurement Applications and Commercial Sound Measurement Devices and Obtaining the Measurement Uncertainty

Abstract

In this study, sound measurement between ios and android operating system based mobile phones (Soundmeter, Decibel X) and commercial sound measurement devices (Cem dt8852, Svantek sv104) was tested. Sound measurement intensities and energies were determined, measurement uncertainties of ios and android devices according to the application were determined. Measurements were carried out at the same time in the indoor and outdoor environment. Iphone 7+ (Ios operation system) and Samsung note 8 (Andorid operation system) used. Significant sound measurement differences were obtained between the two different mobile phone applications. There was no significant difference between commercial measurement devices. Commercial measuring devices were calibrated and can be used as reference devices. Using these devices, it was observed that ios and android-based applications receive faulty measurements on average between 10-20%. As a result of the measurements taken with the applications, it was determined that the measurement uncertainty is in the range of approximately 4-5dB.
