Document the noise.
Build the case.

NoiseLog turns every disturbance into a timestamped, decibel-measured entry in your own pocket case file. For the tenant on the third floor. For the homeowner next door to the new build. For anyone who needs evidence, not adjectives.

TAP TO LOG INCIDENT

TODAY

PEAK

Four taps from "this is unbearable"
to admissible record.

№ 01

Tap to record

One round red stamp. The mic opens, the timer starts, and the ambient decibel level streams to disk. No menus, no setup — built for the moment you've already lost sleep.

№ 02

Tag the source

Drilling. Hammering. Heavy machinery. Banging. Voices. Engine idling. Pick a category, jot a note, attach a photo if you have one. The app fills in date, time, duration, peak and average dB automatically.

№ 03

Watch the pattern emerge

The Patterns view reveals the schedule of your disturbance — which weekdays, which hours, which categories dominate. Quiet-hours violations are flagged in red. Vague becomes specific.

№ 04

Export the case file

One tap exports a clean PDF report, plus raw CSV or JSON. Send it to your landlord, HOA, building inspector, or attorney. The same record, every time.

EXHIBIT B · TAXONOMY

SEVEN CATEGORIES

Every kind of noise gets a name.

Most noise apps just measure sound. NoiseLog measures the specific noise — the kind of detail that actually matters when you're filing a complaint, talking to a property manager, or building a record over weeks and months.

EXHIBIT D · APPARATUS

WHAT'S INSIDE

Built for the dispute,
not the dashboard.

CALIBRATED dB METER

Live peak and average decibel readings, with a built-in scale from "moderate conversation" to "hazardous prolonged exposure." Numbers carry weight that adjectives don't.

TIMESTAMPED AUDIO

Every recording is auto-stamped with date, time, duration, and location. Optional photo attachments document the source.

QUIET-HOURS FLAGGING

Set your local quiet-hours window. Anything logged inside it is automatically flagged in your reports — exactly the violations a manager or inspector will care about.

PATTERN ANALYSIS

Weekday / weekend breakdowns. Hour-of-day heat maps. Category trends across weeks. The story your case file tells, at a glance.

EXPORT REPORT · PDF

A clean, dated, printable PDF case file. Attach incidents, photos, and your own notes. Send to landlord, HOA, attorney, or council.

RAW DATA · CSV & JSON

Need the raw record? Export every incident as CSV or JSON. Your data is yours — not ours, not a server's.

ON-DEVICE ONLY

No account. No cloud. No analytics. Recordings and notes stay on your phone. Delete the app and the case file goes with it.

DARK MODE

For the 6 a.m. drilling. For the 11 p.m. shouting. The app respects the hour you're forced to use it.

EXHIBIT E · WHO USES THIS

A SHORT LIST

Tenants documenting construction noise next door.

Building permits don't waive your right to sleep. Bring receipts to your property manager.

Renters with loud neighbors.

The footsteps at 2 a.m. The bass on Tuesdays. A six-week pattern ends the "are you sure?" conversation.

Homeowners near new developments.

City noise ordinances assume someone is logging the violations. Be the someone.

HOA board members and committees.

Replace anecdotes and "feelings" with timestamped, categorized evidence from real residents.

Tenant attorneys and advocates.

Hand your client a tool that produces clean, exportable records the first day they use it.

Anyone tired of saying
"it happens all the time."

Make "all the time" into 47 entries, 6 categories, and a 91 dB peak. Specificity wins.

EXHIBIT G · QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Is the decibel reading accurate enough for legal proceedings?

NoiseLog uses your phone's microphone, calibrated against common reference levels. It is highly accurate for relative comparison — peaks, averages, and patterns over time — which is what landlords, HOAs, and most jurisdictions actually need. For courtroom-grade absolute readings, consult a certified Type 1 or Type 2 sound level meter; many of our users use NoiseLog to identify which days and times warrant that step.

Does this work without internet?

Yes. NoiseLog is fully offline. Recordings, notes, and exports are all generated on-device. We don't operate a server because we don't need one.

What does the exported report look like?

A clean, dated, multi-page PDF: cover page with your case metadata, a chronological incident log, peak/average dB readings, attached photos, and a one-page summary of patterns. Plus CSV and JSON for anyone who wants the raw data.

Can I record without my neighbors knowing?

NoiseLog measures ambient noise — the sound that already exists in your apartment, from your own apartment. Recording laws vary by jurisdiction, and NoiseLog is designed around the noise levels themselves, not capturing private conversations. When in doubt, check your local two-party-consent rules.

One-time purchase, really?

One time. $4.99. No subscription, no upsell. You buy a tool, you own the tool. Lifetime updates for the platform you bought it on.

Android availability?

iOS first, Android in the same quarter. Tap the Google Play badge to be notified the day it ships.
