## Description

Sound Meter (Decibel) is a lightweight Chrome extension that measures environmental noise in real time. It presents decibel values with a user-friendly gauge, a live reference, and a responsive graph so you can quickly assess current noise levels while browsing.

Save and review your measurements over time with min/avg/max values and a history log. Note that the built-in microphone is device-limited, and very loud sounds (around 110 dB) may not be captured accurately; use this as a handy auxiliary tool rather than a precise sound level meter.

## Review summary

Users largely praise the app for being free, easy to use, and capable of showing room decibels. However, the reviews frequently cite reliability problems: readings are often inaccurate or too low, the app can crash at loud levels, and language quality is poor. Overall, it’s a useful casual tool, but consistency, stability, and polish need improvement.

### Pros

- Works and is easy to use; the meter is sensitive
- Free with no subscription and has a simple, unobtrusive interface
- Provides real-time decibel readings in the room for basic noise awareness
- Useful in practical tasks (e.g., finding leaks, understanding how loud things are)

### Cons

- Readings are often inaccurate or noticeably lower than other meters
- Crashes/forces close at higher sound levels or danger zones
- Spelling and language issues (e.g., consistently misspelling 'quiet') undermine usability
- Some users report the app's readings don’t match real-world environments or other meters
