This app is a scam
This is a subscription farming scam app. Be careful.
Doesn’t work
I have a constant high pitch sound in my basement. Download this app hoping to locate where the sound is coming from. But the dB showing on the device didn’t change much when I was walking around the area it sounded the loudest compared to where is was quite. Glad it was an only .99 cent to try it.

Hidden noise
I used this app to vet potential apartments. I take decibel readings in each room, and it has helped me avoid signing a lease next to a hidden highway noise pocket or under a loud air conditioning unit.
Nice app
I now open this app at concerts and festivals. The real-time gauge lets me see exactly when levels get into the dangerous red zone. When it does, I simply move further back. A great tool to avoid permanent hearing damage.
Very helpful

Noise Level app review
As an avid music listener, I really love having access to this app. I’m very conscientious of preserving my hearing while listening to music. This app ensures that I’m not damaging my ears and should have many more years of listening to look forward to.
Safe levels
I gifted this to my sister when her baby was born. Now she uses it to ensure the nursery is quiet enough for naps, to check if the white noise machine is at a safe level, and to measure the volume of toys.
Threshold notification
I love the alert feature. If outside noise like construction spikes above my set threshold, I get a notification and know it's time for a break in my work or to put on noise-canceling headphones.
Before after
As a HVAC tech, I use this app for quick, preliminary sound checks on units before and after service. The ability to save a "before" and "after" reading right on my phone is incredibly handy for customer reports.
Meditation aid
I use this app to find or create silent spaces. I'll do a quick scan of a room before meditating. It's very effective and turns an abstract desire for "quiet" into a concrete, measurable goal.
Transit recording
The save function is great to log noise levels at the same park at different times of day, or on different transit lines. Let's say I'm fascinated by the soundscape of my city, and I love to capture it.
Problem solved
There was a persistent, low hum keeping me up at night. I used the app to record it at its peak, and it helped me identify it as a neighbor's pool pump. With hard proof I spoke to him and he took the necessary measures.
Data tracking
I suspected my open-plan office was consistently too loud for focus. Over a week, I used the app to record and save noise levels. The data clearly showed sustained averages well into the distracting range.
Accurate tracking
I've tried other dB apps in the past but they were cluttered or just inaccurate. This one is a model of good design: a clear gauge, the essential Min/Max/Avg stats, and a helpful reference chart.
Simple precision
If you want to log the actitivy related to any annoying noise, this is the app you need instead if buying expensive equipment. It is simple, no-nonsense, and shockingly precise.
Good app
The accuracy of this app blew me away! I compared it against my professional sound meter, and the results were within 1.5 dB. I’ve tested 5 blenders for my kitchen upgrade, and it helped me to pick the quietest.
Sensory sensitive
As someone with sensory sensitivity, I use this daily to scout quiet corners in cafes or libraries. The real-time gauge is incredibly responsive, and the max/min/avg stats are very helpful.
Concert safety
This app’s alerts keep me safe at concerts, gyms, even while mowing the lawn or doing repairs at home. Also, the clean interface shows exactly what I need: current dB, a slick analog gauge, and safety references.
I like the app
Now that I have a baby, I monitor white noise machines, vacuum cleaners, even toy volumes to keep everything under 50 dB during nap time. On top of that, the visual gauge is clear enough to glance at.
This business model should be illegal.
$14.99 a week? Company is following the distracted customer model to scam $14 bucks a pop every time someone tries the ad-free trial for a week then forgets to cancel said trial. Granted, I wanted a quick decibel meter to measure my computer fan sound, but this just inspired me to code one myself using a more reliable microphone. Tempted to throw a $15-spot for the inspiration alone.
