NOISE PARTNER
B&K 2245 sound level meters come with the Noise Partner app pre-installed. This app can be used with minimal training and is perfect for simple broadband measurements, general-purpose sound pressure level measurements, and basic occupational, product, and environmental noise measurements.
MOBILE APP
Once the Noise Partner app is downloaded to your phone from the App Store®, all Noise Partner capabilities can be wirelessly controlled from that phone. Via the app interface, pictures, text and voice notes, and videos can be embedded with the measurements.
PC APP
When the PC app has been downloaded and installed and the measurement is finished, your data can be transferred to the PC, wirelessly or with the supplied USB cable. Noise Partner PC software is preconfigured with the tools needed for storing, reviewing and reporting your data.
