Vibration Meter

Set your phone on whatever you want to check and get a live vibration intensity reading.

Not a seismometer or safety instrument This reads general shake/vibration levels for curiosity and everyday checks — appliances, car idle, phone mounts. It is not calibrated and should never be relied on for earthquake detection or any safety-critical decision.

How it works

Your phone's accelerometer is sampled continuously, and this tool measures how much acceleration varies from moment to moment — steady stillness gives a near-zero reading, while shaking or rumbling produces spikes. The bar and graph track that variation in real time, scaled loosely from calm to intense so you can compare readings side by side (like before/after adjusting a wobbly washing machine foot).

Frequently asked questions

Can this detect earthquakes?

No — it's not a calibrated seismometer and shouldn't be relied on for earthquake detection or any safety-critical use.

What can I use a vibration meter for?

Checking an unbalanced washing machine, comparing car idle smoothness, testing a phone mount, or just satisfying curiosity about a shake or rumble.

Why does the reading jump around even when still?

Accelerometers have some sensor noise, and even a steady hand introduces tiny movements. Setting the phone down on the surface gives the steadiest reading.
