Measuring volume and frequencies sounds good.
Vibration on kit, racks etc ?

I went to Google Play (it may well be pre-loaded on your new phone) and searched "measure vibration." That should be how easy it is, Mike. Apps are usually inexpensive, or free. play.google.com/store/search?q=measure+vibration&c=appsFree apps will usually come with adverts built in. A pain in the arse, but if the app itself is good enough you can usually live with them. Often there's an option to purchase an ad-free version and if you really like it, it's worth doing that. It might only cost two, or three, quid. |

So many just on vibration. Plus other useful looking jobbies.
We need an Apps Vibration bake off.
What a great little toy coming to me

Volumio
All excellent apps.

I use the seismograph app and Radio Paradise (although more often through VTuner). Vibration is useful as well. I have a stand-alone sound pressure meter from work anyway, but I'll give the spectrum analyser app a go as it will be much less cumbersome than the one we have at work.
Of course I also use the Naim app for the NDX etc and the Fidata app for the server although it is a bit flaky!

Be wary of apps that ‘measure’ dB levels on your phone. I used one a while back and compared it to a professional, calibrated microphone and it was only about 20db off lol.
Also who knows how linear the mic is as well...
I have no experience of other things like vibration detection but I presume the same warning applies to everything; especially when your talking the Android market, where there’s huge scope for variation between models, which I doubt the software has been written to compensate for.

Vibration measurement doesn't need absolute numbers. The Hamm Seismograph app is invaluable for placing the phone on surfaces and seeing vibration on music or test signals.
