Shuser is an app that reacts to noise by playing a sound. This can be used for shusing babies or pets (e.g. Baby cries, Shusher plays soothing music), but other applications are possible.Shusher allows for setting:- Sensitivity. This sets the sensitivity at which Shusher is triggered. Low means triggered at low noises, high means only louder noises will trigger Shusher. The Calibrate button will show how loud the incoming noises are.- Delay. The time whithin which the next noise should be received before playing a sound. A delay time of zero will play the sound immediately.- Play sound. Select the sound that shoud be played (even a user-recorded sound) from the list of sounds.- Play time. The time the sound should be payed.- Volume. The volume at which the sound should be payed. By dragging the volume seekbar, the currently selected sound will be played at the selected volume.- Airplane mode.
