Do you ever wonder what sounds you make when you sleep? Maybe you snore very loudly, or do you tell the best stories at night? You can of course get an answer to this question from your partner, but it is still much more fun to hear it yourself. Fortunately, this can now be done very easily by installing an app on your smartphone that records all the sounds you make at night. Since the range of these apps is quite large, we have now listed the ten best apps for you.
1. Sleep Talk Recorder
Platform: iOS, Android
Price: €0.89, Free
Rating: 4 stars
One of the most popular sleep recorders is Sleep Talk Recorder. In addition to a beautiful and clear interface, this app also gives you the option to save recorded sounds and make your own top ten of the funniest sounds you have made in your sleep. An additional advantage here is that you can also share the sounds directly with your friends via Facebook or Twitter, so that you are not the only one who can laugh about it. Incidentally, Sleep Talk Recorder is also one of the few apps in this top ten that is available for both Android and iOS.
2. Smart Voice Recorder
Platform: Android
Price: Free
Rating: 5 stars
Smart Voice Recorder is an app that at first glance is an ordinary sound recorder, but can also serve perfectly to record your sleep. The app will automatically erase silent moments from the recording while recording.
Furthermore, the app distinguishes itself by an extensive set of functions. For example, you can set the quality at which you want to record your sleep sounds and these recordings can then be saved on, for example, Dropbox, Evernote or Google Drive. In addition, it is of course very handy that you can also use the app as a normal sound recorder.
3. Sleep Recorder Price: Free Rating: 2 stars Sleep Recorder is an app that focuses entirely on improving your sleep. The app keeps track of the sounds in your bedroom throughout the night and lets you know the next morning if you had a quiet night. The app not only keeps track of which sounds you have made yourself, but also which environmental sounds were heard while you were sleeping. Sleep Recorder also gives you the option to specify how sensitive the recorder should be. Furthermore, the app is fairly simple in terms of functionality, so it's better to look further for an extensive report. 4. Night Sound Recorder Platform: iOS Price: Free Rating: 4 stars When it comes to the design of this app, we can say without a doubt that Night Sound Recorder is the nicest addition to this top ten. The app gives you the feeling that it is completely made up of paper clippings. In terms of functionality, Night Sound Recorder is not the most comprehensive app, but the ability to adjust how sensitive the microphone should be and how much sounds it should record is enough to use the app well. All recorded sounds are placed in a well-arranged list and can be quickly shared with friends. 5. SnoreClock Platform: Android Price: Free Rating: 5 stars SnoreClock is an app that focuses purely on mapping your snoring. The name of the app comes from the way the app does this. Every morning you get a clock on your screen on which you can see exactly at which times you snored the loudest and the most. This is supplemented with a clear graph that gives you even more insight into your night and makes it possible to easily listen back to your loudest snore. Another handy feature of SnoreClock is that the app automatically turns itself off when your phone's battery is low. 6. Dream Talk Recorder Platform: iOS Price: Free Score: 4 stars According to the makers of Dream Talk Recorder, 5 percent of all adults talk in their sleep. With this free app for the iPhone you will immediately find out whether you can count yourself among this group of sleeping chatters. The application is free and works surprisingly well. The app records all the sounds it hears at night. And that's handy, because when you listen back you can hear in bite-sized chunks what noise goes through your bedroom every night. The operation is very simple: before going to sleep you press the start button, and in the morning you press the play button to listen back. History is also kept, so that you get a nice overview over time. 7. Night Recorder Platform: iOS Price: € 2.69 Rating: 3 stars This sleep recorder, like many of the other apps mentioned here, does a great job as a night watchman. The software also continues to work when the device goes into sleep mode, which is nice of course. The interface of the app is derived from an old tape recorder, which gives it a very original face. Unfortunately, this does not really benefit the operation of the app, and it is often unclear where the various functions can be found. Night Recorder works all night long. This allows you to listen back to everything at your leisure the next day, and you might find out to your great shock that you are telling whole stories to your sleeping partner or that you are going for a nice walk every night. So a very complete and good app. Still, there are apps in the App Store that are free and offer the same features. 8. SnoreSleep Inspector Platform: iOS Price: €0.89 Score: 5 stars Do you sometimes wake up with the feeling that you have made it through the night, while you were really neatly under the wool at 10 p.m.? You may just have a serious sleep disorder. Talking, walking, breathing problems, these are things that can seriously hinder a night's sleep. SnoreSleep Inspector from GFSoft Labs proves to be a very effective helper for detecting such problems. Like many other recording apps, SnoreSleep allows you to record all sounds at night. A good addition to this is that you can calibrate the app, so that it takes the current noise level in the bedroom as the default. This makes it easier for the app to notice, for example, snoring or talking, so that in the morning you only find recordings that are actually useful. In addition, the control buttons are large and clear, which makes this app a must for everyone. Its price tag of 0.89 euro cents is more than worth it!
9. Snoring U Platform: Android Price: €1.50 Rating: 3 stars Snoring U is a very detailed app, where it definitely takes some time to master all the features. With its price tag of 1.50 euros, it is not the cheapest app that monitors your night's sleep, but the extensive way in which it presents all data is unprecedented. The app shows in beautiful graphs at which time people snored the most during the night and keeps an extensive log of all recordings. In addition, the developer has also added some useful features. For example, you can set at which 'snoring volume' you want to be warned. This means that your phone will make a sound, after which you are supposed to turn around. However, this usually results in you waking up for a while, which is of course very annoying. 10. Sleep Sounds Recorder Platform: iOS Price: Free Score: 4 stars Sleep Sound Recorder does exactly what its name implies: it records all sounds while you sleep. The app works much the same as many of its competitors. This means that he will only record as soon as he hears that there are noises in the bedroom. This allows you to easily listen back to all sounds the next day. Nice addition is that this app can also play soothing sounds to put you to sleep, and that there is a built-in alarm clock. Handy: the app also keeps track of exactly when you fall asleep and what time you get up. This gives you a good picture of your actual night's sleep. Robin Smit, Elmar Rekers
