Counting how often a foot lands shows how much noise you are making
Enter one movement per line with its contacts per minute and its minutes, and the page totals contacts per movement and overall, along with your total working time. Contacts are the per-minute rate times the minutes. Add the contacts per minute of a swap-in movement and the tool computes the total for the same working time, the contacts removed and the percentage drop.
Contacts per minute swing widely with your pace, so no default rate is set. Counting for one minute yourself is the accurate way. A contact count is only how often a foot lands; it is not impact magnitude and not a sound level. The same count carries differently depending on your mat, the floor structure and the distance to the flat below.
This page does not hand you a list of which movement to swap for which. You pick the replacement and enter its contacts per minute. If the replacement lands more often, the result is reported as an increase instead.

It swings widely with your pace and no standard figure is published. Counting for one minute yourself is the accurate way.
Not necessarily. A contact count is only how often a foot lands; what reaches the flat below depends on your mat, the floor structure and the distance.
No. You choose the replacement and enter its contacts per minute, and the tool reports the contacts removed.
