Sound Meter: Noise & Decibel

Turn your phone into a handy noise meter with Decibel Meter — the simple, accurate way to measure the sound around you in decibels (dB). Using your device's microphone and a smart, energy-efficient algorithm, it shows real-time noise levels wherever you are, from a quiet library to a roaring concert.

We live in a noisy world, and too much of it can harm your hearing. Decibel Meter helps you become aware of the sound levels you're exposed to, so you can protect your ears and your peace of mind. See live readings plus the minimum, average and maximum levels for a full picture of your environment.

PROTECT YOUR HEARING

Long exposure to loud noise can cause permanent damage you can't undo. By checking the decibels at concerts, worksites, gyms or busy streets, you can decide when to step back, turn it down or reach for ear protection. Awareness is the first line of defense for healthy hearing.
