Decibel Level App

I was curious which of my calls had the highest decibel levels. I like a loud call for running and gunning so I figure this could help narrow the calls down. I downloaded the Decibel Ultra app and played all my calls with the same striker. Here's what I found:

Crystal Mistress: 120 db

Dawkins stoned aluminum: 118 db

Lonzo Acrylic crystal, Houndstooth aluminum & Atomic 13: 116 db

Ghost Maker crystal and Reynolds's ceramic: 114 db

Lonzo slate: 111 db


I've had the most luck striking birds with my Crystal Mistress and Dawkins stoned aluminum. This shows why as they have the highest db levels of the calls I tested. Maybe this will help with my call selection in the future. It will also help me pick the best call/striker combo for locating.

Either way, the app was free and this was a fun experiment!

That's pretty cool. I can see this definitely turning into a rabbit hole... lol.

No wonder my hearing is already going...too many years of running friction calls in the house for hours on end getting ready for contests.  :help:

About 4-5 feet. The decibel levels may not be 100% accurate, but it does let me know which calls have higher decibel levels.
