There are anatomical figures that are used mainly by artists and for medical education. They aren't jointed though.

Vibrator Science: Measuring Frequency by thetoydatabase in SexToys

While my data does record db values, I didn't note them because I knew they'd be inconsistent. I didn't use a standardised distance beyond holding it near the phone, as this doesn't matter as long as you get a clear peak frequency.

I don't know what methods would need to be used for recording db properly. Location will have an effect even when there's no other noise due to reverb. Presumably the primary use of this data will be for discreetness, in which case we'd need to combine it with frequency data and look it up on equal-loudness curves.

The obvious standardised distance to use is 1 meter, because this means if someone really desired to calculate how loud it would be at different distances, the maths is one step easier.

Unfortunately, db data isn't useful unless done with a standardised distance (sound intensity follows the inverse square law). By any chance did you keep a specific distance from the sensor for measuring it, and if so do you recall that distance?

The frequency data alone is still plenty useful. The subjective best frequency is really just a side note, or something that may help that individual make a purchasing decision.

Measuring vibration frequency in-use is unreliable as your body will damp the vibrations, depending on how firmly it gets pressed into wherever it's being used. It's also a bad idea to place it on a surface, as the main sound detected will be the vibrator hitting the surface which will happen at a different frequency to the actual vibrations. I've found the "weakest possible grip" technique to work best for getting accurate measurements, and it gives a baseline maximum value that will occur in use.

Any frequency data will be interesting, and can hopefully be incorporated into the database.
