True dB: Sound & Decibel Meter

True dB turns your phone into a reliable, easy-to-use sound level meter. Open it and it measures right away: a large digital readout shows the sound level in dB(A), the standard weighting used by professional sound level meters.

WHAT YOU GET
- Live sound level in dB(A), with a stable, easy-to-read display
- Minimum, true average (Leq) and maximum for the whole session
- A plain-language description of the level: quiet room, normal conversation, heavy traffic…
- Real-time graph of the last 60 seconds, with the 85 dB hearing-risk line
- Pause and resume without losing your measurements
- Calibration: fine-tune readings in 0.1 dB steps to match a reference sound level meter
- Uses your phone's built-in microphone with audio processing turned off (automatic gain, noise suppression), for readings that reflect the real sound
- Dark, minimal interface, in English and French

TRUE DB PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE)
- Full session graph: switch between the last minute and the whole session
- Export the graph as a PNG image with date, duration, min, average and max — handy as a record of noise levels

PRIVACY FIRST
- No ads, no tracking, no account

- True dB does not even have Internet access: sound is analysed instantly on your device and is never recorded, stored or sent anywhere
- The microphone is used only while the app is on screen

GOOD TO KNOW
Phone microphones vary from one model to another. True dB gives reliable indicative readings, and calibration against a reference meter improves accuracy further. It does not replace a certified sound level meter for official or legal measurements.
