is that a free app? I'll have to borrow a phone when i get mine running.

150 sounds pretty unrealistic though

It reads high, I was using it for some air conditioner sound testing, and it was about 50% high compared to a real DB meter.

My p-port car at the track was 116 db at the starting line.

Yeah, I'd be a tad skeptical that it's as loud as 150. Crazy that you can use an iphone as a db meter, though.
