What it does:
This app uses your your headset's microphone to listen for loud noises. Then depending on the mode it either pauses or dips the volume of your music or movie then plays back the sound that triggered it. Then returns your music or movie to normal volume or resumes playback.

Bluetooth Mic Option:
Currently only works with mono headsets and some AD2P kind

Where would I use it?
+At the office: pause your music automatically when someone is trying to get your attention
+At home: Don't miss door slams, children crying, your dog barking, or other warning signs
+At the airport: Relax at the gate and have your music pause when the gate announcements start
+Anywhere relatively quiet where you want to know if something happens around you

Best to use with:
Sound isolating earbud headphones with mic- These are practically earplugs now, so don't miss out on what's around you.
You can use it with just headphones but be aware the microphone used is now your phone. So leaving it in your pocket wouldn't work so well.

How to use:
Make sure your headset is plugged in. Simply start the app, push Start, see the noise level around you, set the trigger level by using your finger to swipe the meter, hit the home button to access your music, videos or games and enjoy.

Limitations:
-Needs Gingerbread or higher (Android version 2.3, etc)
-You can't be in a really loud environment otherwise the microphone input will be maxed out and there is no way to detect a louder sound.

Compatibility:
Works with most popular music and video players: Make sure to enable headset controls if it's not working at first

Samsung's FM Radio App currently doesn't work (actually crashes the app, sorry)

Permissions Needed:

Phone Calls: Read Phone status (shuts off the audio processing during calls)
Hardware Controls: Audio Settings, Record Audio (to use the microphone, no audio is ever stored)
Bluetooth: For Bluetooth mic feature
Broadcast Sticky: For Bluetooth mic feature

Developed on a Galaxy S7

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

2 ★Needs work. Way too sensitive to high pitch sounds and should be tweaked to be more sensitive to sounds in the normal human voice range. Needs to have an option to dim the audio and play the surrounding sound louder when the set level is tripped. As it is, when using street mode, you can't hear someone talking to you very well. It is muffled and the audio from what you are listening to way overpowers it.
5 ★Holly cow this is so awesome! A bit tricky to get the settings right, and you need to change them for different situations, but I can listen to music and my wife can still talk to me! But only when I want!!
3 ★Needs a slider to mix/amplify Mic audio. This would be incredibly nice with street mode! Messaged developer, will update once I have feedback.
1 ★Worthless.
3 ★Try it
5 ★good
5 ★Nice
5 ★Pause (with an option to resume) or dip the volume of your music automatically or just let the background noise mix in to stay aware of what's going on around you.
5 ★Works considerably better than the other one I found.
3 ★Not working with Klipsch R6 Bluetooth headphones.
1 ★Bluetooth mic option worked by transfering bluetooth sound to phone speaker.
1 ★Crappy
