## Description

Track environmental noise with ease using the Decibel Meter app. This professional-grade tool measures sound levels in dB with real-time readings, supports frequency weighting (A, B, C, Z), and provides 1/3 octave band analysis from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, covering a typical range of 20–130 dB.

Designed with an intuitive UI, it displays current, average, and peak values, and can share readings via Messages, Email, WhatsApp, Notes, and more for documentation or analysis. Note: microphone accuracy varies by device and this app is not a substitute for professional sound meters.

## Review summary

Users generally find Decibel Meter Sound Detector easy to use with a clear, readable display and portable versatility, with quick readings and minimal ads in some versions. However, reliability and usability issues are common: inconsistent measurements across devices, non-functional recording controls, and stability glitches. The max measurable level (~130 dB) is a frequent complaint, along with intrusive ads. Overall, it’s usable for casual checks but not dependable for precise measurements or advanced recording features.
