Each minute of snoring counts 1 point when light, 2 when loud and 3 when epic. The score is the points divided by the minutes listened, times 100, up to 100. It describes sound, not your health.

How the Snore Score works

The Snore Score sums up a night from 0 to 100: how much, and how loudly, you snored for the time Snores listened. Each second of snoring counts 1 point when light, 2 when loud and 3 when epic. The score adds them up, divides by the time listened and multiplies by 100, up to 100. Nights under 15 minutes get no score.

Score	Band
Under 10	A quiet night
10 to 24	Light snoring
25 to 49	Moderate snoring
50 to 74	Loud snoring
75 and up	Epic snoring

Light, loud and epic

Snores sorts each second of snoring by how far it rises above your room's own quiet level: light, loud from 14 decibels above it, and epic from 24. Using your own room as the reference keeps nights comparable even if the phone or the room changes. Louder snoring matters because it is more likely to disturb a partner and goes with more breathing disturbances ¹.
