DoctorNoiseWasher noise test

Phone on the machine. Learn what the noise is. Before you call anyone.

A guided test listens to your washing machine and tells you the likely cause and what the repair really costs — before you call anyone.

Recording and the live spectrum are free. A verdict is a one-time purchase.

A machine at spin speed shakes hard and a phone can slide off it — lay it flat, nothing overhanging, clear of water. Read the rules of safe use before you start — they take a minute and they are the ones that matter.

Home screen: what is that noise? Put your phone on the machine — the sound check is free

Microphone permission screen: audio never leaves your phone, no account

The guided test listening to a spin, with the live spectrum, drum speed and vibration

The verdict: the likely cause ranked with its confidence, and what a repair really costs

The honest not-sure screen: three checks to try by hand and a retest, nothing charged

History of every check, so a change over the months does not go unnoticed

Settings: delete every recording, crash reports off in one tap

The seven screens from the Google Play listing — swipe.

How it works

Place the phoneOn top of the washer, near the back edge, where the drum is loudest.
Run the testTap Start listening, then start a spin; the app waits for the drum to speed up and records the couple of minutes around it, with a live spectrum, drum speed and vibration on screen.
Read the verdictRanked likely causes with a confidence figure, the signature that gave them away, and three checks you can do by hand.

What you get

The likely cause, ranked, with how sure the app is — and why.
Typical repair cost against the price of a new machine, with sources, and whether the repair is worth it.
Three hands-on checks to confirm the finding before anyone opens the machine.
A PDF of the result to hand to the repairman — or to argue with a quote.
A history of every check, so a change over the months does not go unnoticed.
When the app is not sure, it says so instead of guessing: three checks to try by hand and a retest button — and you are not charged.

Audio never leaves your phone

Every recording is analysed on the device, kept on the device, and yours to delete in one tap. No account, no sign-up, no cloud, no advertising. Crash reports can be switched off in Settings. Read the privacy policy.

What you need

A washing machine. The app does not diagnose dryers, dishwashers or fridges.
A phone with a microphone, placed on the machine for the length of one test.
A reasonably quiet room — the app tells you early if it is too loud to listen.

DoctorNoise ranks likely causes from sound and vibration. It is not a certified diagnosis and does not replace a technician — have the finding confirmed before a repair. It does not open the machine, measure electrical faults, or work on a machine it cannot hear. A spin shakes the machine: lay the phone flat where nothing can knock it off, and run the test at your own risk.
