About the methodology

Each recording feeds an AVAudioEngine input tap into a 2048-point Hann-windowed FFT (Accelerate vDSP). The spectrum is A-weighted, RMS becomes SPL, and the per-iPhone calibration table corrects offset and slope. Every 100 ms, NoiseProof writes a sample of (t, dB(A), peak frequency, vibration magnitude). The audio file is hashed with SHA-256 and the digest is embedded in the evidence PDF and stored alongside as a .sha256 sidecar.

Know your local law

U.S. recording laws vary by state. Several states require all parties to consent before private conversations may be recorded. NoiseProof shows a dedicated warning on first launch and on the last page of every evidence PDF. The app does not give legal advice. Consult a licensed attorney.
