Nuisance Noise Recorder is a simple app designed to automatically record noise over a set limit.

Nuisance Noise Recorder is a great app for both proving or even disproving nuisance noise.

Nuisance Noise Recorder is not designed to be voice dictation app or covert security app that records conversations in the background while displaying something else on the screen.

Nuisance Noise Recorder will run for as long as you leave the app on the screen and leave it listening to record whatever events occur above the set Decibel Level.

This application requires that is is left on and visible on the screen when running.

Nuisance Noise Recorder will pause listening when a call comes in and resume once the call has finished.

How to use Nuisance Noise Recorder...

Run the app and watch the Decibel Values, when the target noise occurs see what Decibel Value it occurs at and set the software a few points below.

You can set what obstructions there are to the target noise like Brick/Concrete Walls, Wooden Flooring, Open Window & Fence-Line etc.

You can set the approx. distance to the target noise.

When you start the app listening, it uses your GPS to get a Latitude & Longitude position fix, this is recorded to the database along with any sound files.

The app will record 30 second segments when the decibel level exceeds the value you set the limit to.

The events that occur can be reviewed over a daily basis, set the date and all events will be sown in two 12 hour clocks (AM & PM) each sound file can be played back (even removed if required)

The app can compress all the sound files for a specified date along with a CSV of all the events into a zip folder that can be transferred to a PC or uploaded to your Dropbox or G-Drive as required.

The Export feature requires an in-app purchase to create the zip file. (ONLY purchase if you are happy with the recordings!!)

The sound files are standard WAV files and will play in Windows desktop and android devices, the CSV will open in any text editor or MS Excel.

This app has been tested with external mic connected to the 3.5 Audio Jack.
Android only allows use of one microphone at a time and will use the external mic if detected, other wise it will use the internal mic!

Please note, not all audio extension cables support mic input, ensure you obtain 4 pole. some phones will NOT work with extension cables due to impedance issues.

Comments about Nuisance Noise Recorder Android Version

A good app that does what it says. But it would be a good idea if the screen could sleep whilst the app was running, as leaving it on kills the battery, as does the requirement to enable GPS. Also, the free version is essentially useless given that you MUST pay to be able to export and use any recorded samples.
Would be great if this app recorded the decibels and showed them on the recording, rather than an arbitrary sound with no indication of how loud it is. Would also be great if this app somehow showed your location in relation to the sound in feet or meters. This would at least help in some way to prove that it isn't you making the sounds or faking the recording.
I tried the app during the day and it seemed to have potential so I paid 59 British pence for the export licence. I then set it last night to try and record a noisy neighbour. There were two files there when I woke up but I couldn't export them unless I paid again. That means a cost of approximately £16 a month to use it every night. I leave the reader to work out whether that is value for money, or even fair. I'm not even sure if the app works that well yet, either. I now see why this app has not been well reviewed.
