Is snore report accurate?

[AllnamesRtaken]

I just started a couple nights ago recording sound levels when I'm sleeping (via the snore report) which show spikes that can reach 95 dB... yikes!  yet the noise level reported is "quiet" @ 35 dB... and indeed my room is very quiet so are those numerous spikes me snoring???  Adding to the confusion is my whole sleep report is usually full of jagged spikes but last night's report different, it has all the jagged spikes for the first half of the night and the rest of the night suddenly goes to a ruler flat line sitting on 36 dB.  Can someone please explain to me what going on?  Is this part of that recent update with the charting glitches that is affecting the Estimated Oxygen Variation charts?  I'm very new to fitbit (I've had mine for 3 days now) and would appreciate any insights into what's true and normal and what's a glitch.  Thank you.

Hello @AllnamesRtaken and welcome to the Community.  I used it for about a week when it was new.  It didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know.  I think it's pretty accurate.  I can tell you that the purple spikes are the background noise.  Snoring noise is clearly marked and those spike are pink.  If you get a page with snoring, the purple and the pink are obvious and there is a breakdown of your data.  You might have gotten that flat line because your wrist was under a blanket or something like that that and it covered the mic.  If you are an Android phone user, those EOV charts are totally out of whack and ignore them until Fitbit fixes the app.

If those 90 dB spikes are purple, that's background noise.  It it's pink, then that is some kind of snoring, my friend.

Thanks for the reply.  I found pics online of what it should look like with and without snoring and you are correct, since my lines are only purple and there are no pink peaks its not snoring plus it does say 0% snoring.  Did I cover up my mic by putting my hand under the blanket??? don't know but I suppose thats as good a guess as any.  Last night didn't show the flat line so I won't worry about it.  I can't wait for the update to correct the EOV charts.

I’m looking for similar info so I think I’m supposed to post here. I hope this is not hijacking.   Trying to understand how the report can show all periods of snoring in pink at over 90 decibels but have an overall score of quiet.
