Nokia 5100 Interactive Tutorial

The sound meter is a fun and useful feature that allows you to measure the estimated noise level of your surroundings (dB representation).

The phone displays a vertical bar meter that shows the noise level graphically. There is also a numerical presentation of the sound level. The peak value is shown in a frame on the top and the current value is presented underneath.

When you press Options you get a list of four choices:

With Reset peak you can reset the peak value.

With Hold peak both values are shown but the peak value is updated only when the current noise level is greater than the peak value.

With Dynamic peak both values are shown but the peak value is valid only for 5 seconds

With Noise tuning you can simulate the sensitivity of the hearing mechanism for different frequencies. You can choose between low noise (sounds < 85 dB) and loud noise (sounds > 85 dB).


		Note


		The sound meter in this phone gives approximate values only and should not be used for professional purposes. It is not possible to measure the estimated noise level of a call in progress. Also, you cannot use the sound meter when a headset is connected.
