LoudLog provides relative noise level measurements that are excellent for documentation and pattern tracking. Here's what you need to know:

  • Real measurements: We process actual audio data to calculate noise levels
  • Consistent tracking: Perfect for showing changes and patterns over time
  • Not certified readings: Results are estimates, not professionally calibrated meter readings
  • Legally useful: Sufficient for most noise complaints and documentation needs

For certified decibel readings, you would need a professional sound level meter. However, LoudLog's measurements are highly effective for demonstrating noise patterns and supporting complaints.
