"recorder" might feel less like it's inventing things.

I mean, the sensitivity of the microphones varies a lot.

Legal proof needs a metrological chain of trust.

I'd like to see some proof that this is able to accurately measure noise level across a range of devices. The CDC have a sound meter app [1] which has been tested to 2db accuracy, and they only make that available on specific Apple devices because calculating noise level depends on the hardware.

I'm sorry to ask, but I'm seeing many cases of AI apps making accuracy claims based on the author’s ‘reasonableness spot checks’ but with no statistical testing that the outputs are accurate.

So it's safe to assume that most of the other limits hardcoded in the tool are wrong as well. Pretty irresponsible to release this without even taking the few minutes to research the laws yourself.

A few more concerning claims:

- "US One-Party Consent": This is not a thing, it varies by jurisdiction. Many states are two-party consent.

- "Standards database updated quarterly from public records": It would not appear that way!

- "Not Legal Advice": You are giving legal advice, and it's incorrect.

I came home from a holiday a few years ago and woke up to a dog howling at 7:00am. This was new. This new dog (a husky, lol) would completely lose it's mind any time the owner, my downstairs neighbor, would leave it alone for any amount of time. Like the moment he shut the door. I work from home so it was difficult to focus while this dog would scream it's lungs out for hours at a time during the day. I complained to the office and left a note on the neighbor's door and got no response from either. After a few weeks I decided to handle it, stayed up to 3:00am, walked into my bedroom (directly above his bedroom) and jumped up and down as hard as I could for as long as I could. I bruised my heel on the floor but in the morning there was no barking and it stopped completely, which means it could have ended any time, they just didn't care. I have several other stories that all ended more or less the same way. No one gives a fuck until they are personally affected. You must fight fire with fire.
