Calibrate.
How to calibrate?
Get positive dB from other soundmeter app.
Thanks, Roland, for pointing this out. That has fallen short in my reply.
For the sake of completeness I also add our “disclaimer”, see phyphox.org/wiki/index.php/Experiment:_Audio_Amplitude:
“Even a well calibrated experiment is still limited in its accuracy as the experiment does not take into account the base noise, the spectral dependency of the microphone, non-linear responses and directional dependencies. So, this experiment may be suitable for simple educational purposes, but for serious measurements you will either need a dedicated app for your device or, much better, professional equipment.”
