SoundCompass

Turn your smartphone into a professional acoustic camera.

SoundCompass detects, locates, and visualizes sound sources in your environment using augmented reality (AR) technology. Point your device in any direction and see exactly where the noise is coming from—in real-time, overlaid on your camera view.

How it works
Rotate your device slowly while the app analyzes sound energy by direction. In seconds, a colored energy field reveals the sound's origin: blue for ambient noise, amber for noticeable sound, and red for intense sources.

Key Features:

AR Camera with directional energy field: Intuitive visualization of sound direction.

Real-time sound propagation particles: See how sound moves in your space.

Advanced technical analysis: Detect sound reflections, paths, and frequency analysis via FFT (300–2000 Hz).

Versatile modes: Switch between "Experience Mode" (simple language) and "Scientific Mode" (SNR, Hz, lobe, and concentration).

Precision support: Optimized for Android sensors, including support for LiDAR on compatible devices.

Smart diagnostics: Share acoustic patterns and detailed analysis data.

Total Privacy: Works 100% offline. Audio is processed locally and is never recorded or transmitted.

Designed for:
Residents dealing with neighbor noise, acoustic technicians, architects, physics students, and tech enthusiasts.

Note: For best results, follow the measurement guidelines: hold the phone vertically at chest height and rotate slowly to cover the full 360° environment.
