Anyone needing to characterize noise, here is the perfect app to get. There are many ways to use this cool "tool". I used it as a stopwatch by setting it up to trigger from z-axis motion, since my challenge was to time movement occuring in less than a second. This app lets one record the noise AND measure the vibration, or other movements, to give variable data to an otherwise subjective claim about what is heard. It can easily capture and email all the information: audible, graphical and g-force data.Other uses include getting data for performance of vehicle cornering, machine operation, and playng music. I let many of our automotive engineers know about this.
