This is a fun app that children enjoy and respond to. Its a real boon to any adult who needs to control the levels of noise of a group of children.

For the responsible adult it is like having a virtual assistant with you, constantly monitoring noise levels and letting the children know in a fun and engaging way if noise levels have reached an unacceptable level.

In tests we have found when using this app with groups of children peer pressure alone is generally sufficient to control noise levels.

Summary of Features

• Displays graphically the background noise level in a room in a fun and engaging way.

• Allows the tolerable noise level to be adjusted to cater for those "louder activities" as well compensating for banging doors and other sudden noises with the "sensitivity" and "dampening" sliders.

• When the predefined noise level is exceeded for more than 3 seconds:

1) An audible Alarm is sounded (this can be switched ON or OFF)

2) The App appears to shatter the screen of the Device (this can be switched ON or OFF)

3) A counter, displayed on the noise meter, is incremented by one. Keeping track of the number of “Too Noisy" alarms.(this can be switched ON or OFF)

• There is a built-in "Star Awards" rewards system. It can operated in two modes:

- Achievement Mode
In this mode a Star is awarded each time the Class keep their noise under control for a pre-determined period of time. This can be from 1 to 15 minutes.
Normally, if the class triggers the alarm in this mode they will lose the Star currently running, however, there is also a switch that, if set to ON, will remove an additional Star every time the Class cause the “Too Noisy” alarm to be triggered.If students get all 10 stars a "Super Star Award" is displayed. Stars can also be manually Awarded and removed by the responsible adult.

- Session Mode
In this mode the Teacher sets the length of time for a complete session. This can be any length of time. Perhaps for a full lesson (e.g. 1 hour 10 minutes) or for a time period set to complete a specific task (e.g. 20 minutes).
The app will take the session time and divide it by 10 (the maximum number of Stars that can be Won in any one session). The Stars are then awarded at that rate. For example if the Teacher sets the session time to 60 minutes then one Star Awards will be awarded every 6 minutes (60 minutes / 10 Stars = 6 minutes per Star)

• Keep things fresh with over 200 Dial / Background Theme combinations

• The "Alarm Counter" can be reset or disabled completely.

If the noise level is acceptable a happy smiling contented graphic is displayed. If the levels of noise increase beyond what the responsible adult has determined as acceptable, the graphic changes to reflect the unacceptable noise level. Once the level of noise returns to an acceptable level the graphic automatically returns to the happy contented one, however, if the volume of noise remains unacceptably high for more than 3 seconds...an audible alarm is sounded (this can be turned on and off) and the screen of the device appears to shatter! Also, the "Alarm Counter" on the meter is incremented by one (this can be zeroed at any time with a reset button).

Pros and cons of Too Noisy Pro app for iPhone and iPad

Too Noisy Pro app good for

Make this app available on the iMac, too! I would like to project it from my desktop computer to the whiteboard.
I really like this app! My 6th and 7th graders respond great to it! They watch it very closely and Ive made a game out of which class can earn the most stars. Its really great!
Excellent for special needs kids who have trouble with volume control! We dealt with yelling and crying meltdowns when frustrated or upset and this app has completely helped with giving a visual for impulsive yelling.
This app has been a tremendous help in my classroom. Has saved me countless times of repeating "excuse me, its too noisy in here!" This gives the students a chance to self-correct and they are very motivated to keep Mr. Happy smiling. We have contests to see if we can make the noisy alarm go off less than our last class, and there are treats for making it go off zero times in a class too. The free version is amazing, but definitely worth the 99 cents to get the counter and alarm too.
The .99 cents is worth investing as it gives the class an audible signal if they are too noisy. Thats very important as sometimes they cant monitor the visual cue as they re looking somewhere else. Great app! My class looks forward to using it.
As a teacher, this is an amazing app. I had only commented today that wouldnt be great to have an app to show the kids how loud they are. Many teachers agreed! I love the alarm, especially since I can record my own voice- I do get tired of repeating myself. This is a "must have" if you have a classroom!

Some bad moments

I really love this app for group assignments in my classroom. Unfortunately ever since I downloaded iOS 10, the buzzer for the room getting too loud goes off instantly. Ive tried to reinstall the app and I tried it on both my iPad and iPhone, but the same thing happens. Please fix this and I will be sure to update my review with my usual love for your product. Thanks!
Awesome product. 99 cents beats the 70 dollar Yakker Tracker. My students respond well to it. Video out on the iPhone would earn the app 5 full stars. (I use the iPad version for my class)
The noise sensitivity isnt accurate at all. If you set it on silent mode (which is 100 percent noise sensitivity) you can sit 2 feet away from your phone and have a normal volume level conversation and it wont go off. I basically had to yell to get it to go off and the phone was in arms reach. So if you are in a classroom full of kids they can all talk in a low to normal volume and it wont set it off. Once the kids figure this out it will probably encourage them to talk because they see it isnt going off.
Use it on an iPad 2. Helps me monitor an elementary school cafeteria. Works great because it is accurate and consistent. The bright display is easily seen throughout the whole room. Would love to see an option of a decibel reading.
They actually beg me to use it. I dont always want to because sometimes Im using my iPad for something else, but its great to keep them wanting more. Also, the people behind the product are very open to suggestions.
I really like this app because as a substitute teacher, it helps me with classroom management!
