Measure ambient sound in real time. Intuitive labels, session logging for evidence, noise alerts, CSV/PDF export. Privacy-first: audio is never recorded.
"Isn't this too loud?" "What's the decibel level?" — hold up your phone and see instantly.
SoundMeter uses your iPhone's microphone to measure ambient sound in real time. Beyond raw dB numbers, it labels every reading in plain English — "quiet library", "busy street" — so you understand at a glance. From noise dispute evidence to sharing concert loudness, one app covers it all.
--- Key Features ---
■ Real-Time dB Meter
A half-circle arc meter shows the current volume at a glance. Updated every 100ms with smooth animation, plus MIN / AVG / MAX statistics to track changes over time.
■ Plain-English Sound Labels
30 dB "Quiet Library", 60 dB "Normal Conversation", 90 dB "Very Loud" — 11 levels of intuitive labels help you feel the volume beyond the numbers.
■ Session Recording
Tap "Start Recording" to save a session. Automatically logs 1-second dB samples, start/end times, and optional location tags. Perfect for documenting noise disputes.
■ Time-Series Charts
Swift Charts area graphs visualize your entire session. Color bands in the background instantly show quiet zones vs. warning zones.
■ CSV / PDF Export
Export session data as CSV or PDF. Ideal for attaching to complaint filings, emails to landlords, or property manager reports.
■ Noise Alert Notifications
Set a threshold (30–120 dB) and get notified when exceeded. Choose "every time / every minute / every 5 minutes" — perfect for baby sleep monitoring, construction watch, or concert level checks.
■ Mic Calibration Offset
Manually adjust for your iPhone's mic sensitivity (±7 dB between models). Compare against a professional calibrated meter for higher accuracy.
■ Location Tags
Add location tags like "Downtown Apartment" to each session. Great for scouting apartments or comparing multiple locations.
■ Share Cards
Turn your current dB reading into a shareable card for X or Instagram. "Front row: 105 dB" — bring the experience to your feed.
■ Widget Support
Home Screen widgets show your last measured dB and label. Lock Screen widgets supported too.
■ iCloud Sync
Session records sync automatically via iCloud. Switch devices without losing history.
