Tonight's recording

    What this recording does

    • Listens all night and detects each snoring event — with its time, duration and how many decibels it rose above your room's own background.
    • Estimates an acoustic loudness in dB(A) from that, with the assumptions and the uncertainty stated.
    • Audio stays on this device — analysed locally in your browser.

    Measurement setup

    A phone is not a calibrated sound level meter. These two answers let us estimate a physical loudness in dB(A) — and state how uncertain that estimate is.

    How far will the phone be from your head?

    Used to refer the estimate to a standard 1 m distance. Bedroom reflections mean this is an approximation, so it widens the uncertainty range rather than sharpening the number.

    How quiet is your bedroom at night?

    This is the only absolute anchor in the whole calculation. We measure your room's background level digitally, then assume it is worth the dB(A) value you pick here. Nothing is hidden: the assumption is shown with your result.

    If someone else sleeps in the room

    A single phone microphone cannot tell who made a sound. If a partner, child or pet shares the room, detected snoring events may belong to either of you.

    Distance and room assumption affect only the estimated dB(A). They do not change the measured dB-above-background result.

    What this is, and isn't

    SnapSnoreScore performs an acoustic measurement of sound in your room and provides general information about it. It is not a medical device and not a calibrated sound level meter. It does not diagnose anything, does not screen for sleep apnea, and is not medical advice. Loudness on its own cannot indicate a medical condition. If you have symptoms that worry you, speak to a healthcare professional.
