Audiokit strange amplitude values on small frequency

Tags:

I'm trying to build simple spectrum analyser using AudioKit library for iOS:

Yellow line is max, red is current - changes 10 times per second.

enter image description here

The problem is, that amplitude values for first few frequency points are too high, that i think is wrong.

The code (i removed parts, that not relevant to AudioKit):

AppDelegate init:

mic = AKMicrophone()

fftTap = AKFFTTap.init(mic!)
tracker = AKFrequencyTracker.init(mic)
let silence = AKBooster(tracker, gain: 0)

AudioKit.output = silence
try! AudioKit.start()

ViewController:

let micSampleRate = 44100

var tracker: AKFrequencyTracker!
var fftTap: AKFFTTap?

var maxValues = [Double](repeating: -400, count: 255)

let timeInterval = 0.1

var isPaused = true

let FFT_SIZE = 510

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    tracker = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).tracker
    fftTap = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).fftTap

    let freqPreparedValue =  self.micSampleRate * 0.5 / self.FFT_SIZE

    Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: timeInterval, repeats: true) { [unowned self] (timer) in
        if (!self.isPaused) {

            for i in stride(from: 0, to: self.FFT_SIZE - 2, by: 2) {

                let re = self.fftTap!.fftData[i]
                let im = self.fftTap!.fftData[i + 1]
                let normBinMag = 2.0 * sqrt(re * re + im * im)/self.FFT_SIZE
                //let freq = self.micSampleRate * 0.5 * i / self.FFT_SIZE
                let freq = freqPreparedValue * i
                let amplitude = 20.0 * log10(normBinMag)

                let i2 = i / 2
                if (self.maxValues[i2] < amplitude) {
                    self.maxValues[i2] = amplitude
                }

                //to understand, what is X and Y on image
                tickDataSeries.appendX(SCIGeneric(freq), y: SCIGeneric(amplitude))
                tickMaxDataSeries.appendX(SCIGeneric(freq), y: SCIGeneric(self.maxValues[i2]))

                print("bin: \(i/2) \t freq: \(freq)\t ampl.: \(amplitude)\t maxVal: \(self.maxValues[i2])\t re: \(re)\t im: \(im)" )
            }
        }
    }
}

Part of the output (not any real sounds, mostly silence around microphone):

bin: 0   freq: 0.0   ampl.: -118.073654770687    maxVal: -110.92564348456614     re: 3.5231216315878555e-05  im: 0.0003163595392834395

See, how fast amplitude is falling from -118 to -172 and then its bouncing around -170 - -200 values.

Isn't it wrong?
