Rated 4.7 with over 10k installs and no IAP.

Turn your phone into a Spectrum Analyzer. Speccy is an Audio Spectrum Analysis tool, which visualizes the spread of sound frequencies in the audible (and inaudible) spectrum, detected through your device's microphone, using Fast Fourier Transform signal processing. It supports the most languages of any similar app (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, German, Italian, Russian, French and Thai - with more languages added regularly) and is the only app on the market which also lets you export audio snapshot data to the clipboard (for plotting in Excel, etc).

      It's free for 7 days. Have another try.

  • but why

    • Speccy has a wide variety of uses, such as:
      • Assessing environmental noise for health and safety
      • Sound checking venues PA systems and in-car stereos
      • Identifying audio signals obscured to the human ear by noise
      • Testing the microphone on your device
      • Comparing the quality of different brands of headphones
      • Testing signal generators
      • Tuning musical instruments
      • Measuring audio signals just outside human perception. As people age over 20 years, their aural perception range drops well below 21 kHz

      • Speccy doesn't do the things that abb mentioned.

        It's just a wiggly line on the screen. There is no analysis, and the user interface is absolutely dreadful.

        Total crap, and useless app - I installed, tested thoroughly and have deleted.

        • It seems to work for me?

          It shows the FFT and spectrogram of whatever sound it can hear. e.g. if you whistle there's a reasonably sharp peak at the frequency of your whistling and it will tell you what frequency the peak is.

          Sure it won't say "lol your signal generator has a THD of 37% throw it in the bin" but it does what I expect of it. It would be nice if you could set a cut-off at say -90dB to filter out noise though.

          Having said that, is there something else better that you'd recommend instead?

      • Unless your phone has been calibrated properly it's not really much use for assesing noise for OSH. I have a similar app that I use for identifing feedback quickly when mixing sound (I'm not a really good sound tech but I have to do it for work from time to time). The db levels it gives me are not accurate so don't be taking to your boss saying my phone says it too noisy here.

  • Cool app! Thanks
