PLEASE NOTE

This is a reference tool. Smartphone microphones vary, so readings can be off by around 5 dB, and the app is not suitable for precision acoustic measurement or as legal evidence.

PRIVACY

The microphone is used only for live dB measurement. No audio is recorded, stored or sent anywhere. Records stay on your device: no account, no server. Free, supported by ads.
