What it does:This app uses your your headsets microphone to listen for loud noises.
Then depending on the mode it either pauses or dips the volume of your music or movie then plays back the sound that triggered it.
Then returns your music or movie to normal volume or resumes playback.Bluetooth Mic Option:Currently only works with mono headsets and some AD2P kindWhere would I use it?
+At the office: pause your music automatically when someone is trying to get your attention +At home: Dont miss door slams, children crying, your dog barking, or other warning signs +At the airport: Relax at the gate and have your music pause when the gate announcements start +Anywhere relatively quiet where you want to know if something happens around youBest to use with: Sound isolating earbud headphones with mic- These are practically earplugs now, so dont miss out on whats around you.
You can use it with just headphones but be aware the microphone used is now your phone.
So leaving it in your pocket wouldnt work so well.
How to use: Make sure your headset is plugged in.
Simply start the app, push Start, see the noise level around you, set the trigger level by using your finger to swipe the meter, hit the home button to access your music, videos or games and enjoy.Limitations: -Needs Gingerbread or higher (Android version 2.3, etc) -You cant be in a really loud environment otherwise the microphone input will be maxed out and there is no way to detect a louder sound.Compatibility:Works with most popular music and video players: Make sure to enable headset controls if its not working at firstSamsungs FM Radio App currently doesnt work (actually crashes the app, sorry)Permissions Needed: Phone Calls: Read Phone status (shuts off the audio processing during calls) Hardware Controls: Audio Settings, Record Audio (to use the microphone, no audio is ever stored) Bluetooth: For Bluetooth mic feature Broadcast Sticky: For Bluetooth mic featureDeveloped on a Galaxy S7Around Sound is SuperpoweredNew Feature: Listen NowNew Feature: Notification controlsBug fixes

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"Need updating, for later android versions. works well,"
SpeedLockedNZ
"I am very disappointed, I got the free version to test it out, in the free version the headphones must be plugged in, I saw there is a bluetooth option in the pro version so I got the pro version. What a waste of money. AFTER buying the pro version, they explain that it doesn't work well with music because it lowers the quality in order to use the mic. Do not buy"
Captain JOGG1
"I'm giving this application 3 stars because the program works very well with usb type c connections from my note 10 plus. However, do not purchase this app for bluetooth connections. It is not even close to a thing yet. You are much better off considering to invest in a device that has ambient listening natively."
John Jones
"It's cool, but it uses my phone microphone. My phone is in my pocket and all I hear is fabric rustling. If you make it work with more Bluetooth microphones, I'll buy it again. Keep it up!"
Justin Pallo
"good"
M. A. Naser
"waste of money. doesn't work with any of the 5 different bluetooth headphones in the house unless i install an app to turn headset to mono mode. super annoyed. when i do that the latency is so bad its actually distracting. i thought a reboot of phone might help but then i couldn't refund."

"This app needs a lot of work. Slight delay. Causes music to be distorted. It does work with my Bluetooth earbuds though."
Chico Pollard
"Crappy"
Gary Schmidt
"Almost there. The app works, but needs some tweaking or additional setup options. As others mentioned, more sensitive to high pitched sounds than low noises, so I had some of my mouse clicks register as above threshold, while deeper human voices would not. Also needs the option to set the preferred mic, when using my standard earphones I noticed the music playing in the earphones for some reason also registers as external sound. Dev, if you make these adjustments, the app will be really awesome!"
Jevgeni Shirokov
"Love the adjustable timeouts time in level output each input. Nice app. Thanks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍😎"
