Description
Ultimate Ears has designed this SPL tool to let you measure the sound pressure level using your iPhone and iPad. This tool also works with 4th generation iPod touch, but not earlier versions.
This App can be used to measure dB levels. For instance, you can check the sound level in your music room before a recording, or verify whether you are exposing yourself at a concert to sound pressure levels that may lead to hearing loss.

Very accurate!
I am an audio engineer and producer. I compared this app side by side with a high end spl meter and it was within 1 or 2 db with the meter set on average with slow response. This seems to be the most accurate spl meter app out there right now. And it's free!
OK for general use
I installed the app on an iPod touch 5g. Measuring broad spectrum sound, it agrees within 1-2 dB with my sound meter. Using a test CD that produces warbles tones across the audible range, I found that it cannot measure frequencies below 100 Hz very well. Mid frequencies were accurate. Beginning at 2.5 kHz, it began to read high by about 3-4 dB. At 6.3 kHZ, it was ready about 5-8 dB high. Response dropped off at 10 kHz and it was reading about 5 dB low. Would be nice to be able to do a multi-point calibration at various frequences to improve accuracy. In general, I'm satisfied that it serves it's intended purpose.

Great interface... Seems accurate enough, getting similar readings from other spl apps. But much better interface.
Options are key: turn off intro video! Switch between a and c weighting.
Killer!
