Can it measure intensity?

I grew up under a flight path, and now live... under another flight path. Luckily this one is used almost exclusively to land (much quieter) but my parents are still under a takeoff one. All airlines are supposed to follow certain rules to minimize noise, but many just flaunt them. Local authorities own the airport, so their interest in monitoring infractions is... very low.

Having an app that could detect and categorize bad actors, would be pretty cool.

Not at the moment, but it would be easy to add.

If your parents use iPhone or iPad, I am happy to add an intensity label and/or a filter for them so it would display/read out those that are over certain thresholds.

I’m almost certain I heard about a similar project years ago that would automatically file complaints and fine the offending airlines when they were too loud/flying too low.
