Apple Watch Noise App Accuracy. Blood oxygen app 2 1 6 10 5. The apple watch series 5 offers accurate heart rate readings, but doesn't track your sleep out of the box.
If location services are enabled, the app can utilize the gps feature to provide an exact geospatial location of the noise. Software development manager blake helms put the noise app’s accuracy to the test against a real decibel meter. It can notify you if you're in an area that's too loud for an extended period of time that could be detrimental to your hearing.
By all means get an apple watch.
Niosh recommends using an external, calibrated microphone with any sound level app to increase accuracy. The niosh slm also includes information on preventing hearing loss, examples of noise levels and their risks to hearing, and a searchable database of devices to protect your hearing. You can also check environmental sound levels, headphone audio levels, and noise notifications in the hearing category in the health app on your iphone. Going forward, you can use the noise app to measure the environmental noise around you.
