Fitbit Sense and Fitbit Versa 3 wearables start receiving a new feature that enables users to detect their snoring patterns and other loud noises. Fitbit’s new ‘Snore & Noise Detect’ feature is a handy way to track snoring during sleep.
This new feature uses the inbuilt microphone on the Fitbit devices to monitor the sounds in the user’s sleep environment.
The Fitbit Sense & Fitbit Versa 3 Smartwatches will show the results the next morning.
This new feature is limited to only Premium subscribers now.
Fitbit first came with its Snore Detect Beta app for the Versa 2 smartwatch.
This feature can help Premium subscribers track snoring or noise level in the users’ surroundings that may be disturbing their sleep.
Fitbit users with a Premium subscription can turn on the Snore & Noise Detect feature to allow the microphones on their Fitbit Sense or Fitbit Versa 3 to detect noise.
How to Enable Fitbit Snore & Noise feature?
Follow These Steps :
- From the Today tabon your device.
- Scroll down.
- Tap on the Sleep tile.
- Tap the gear icon.
- Turn on Detect Snoring.
- Follow on-screen instructions.
- And wear your Fitbit device while sleeping.
The wearable will track snoring sounds from both the user and any sleep partners as well as their environment.
The Fitbit Sense & Fitbit Versa 3 Smartwatches will then analyse noise information every few seconds.
This feature will provide the nightly results summary in a report the next morning.
Fitbit will categorise the amount under three segments :
- None to mild (less than 10% of the total time you were asleep),
- Moderate (10–40% of the total time you were asleep),
- Frequent (more than 40% of the total time you were asleep).
Then report will show a chart of the noise level throughout the night.
Which is based on A-weighted decibels the noise level chart has 5 categories :
- Very quiet (30dBA or lower),
- Quiet (30–50dBA),
- Moderate (50–70dBA),
- Loud (70–90dBA),
- Very loud (90dBA or higher)
Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 users can disable the feature and delete snore noise data at any time by visiting the Manage your Fitbit Data page in a web browser.
In the Snore & Noise Detect section users can select the start date and end date of the data you want to delete.
It is recommended by Fitbit that you should have at least 40% charge on their wearable before going to bed.
And if there is too much background noise then the device’s microphone can’t pick up snoring.
