## What is Sound Meter?

Sound Meter - Noise Meter dB helps you measure ambient sound levels using the built-in microphone.

Use it to check everyday noise at home, in the office, on the street, in a classroom, studio, or any other environment. The app shows sound levels in decibels and helps you better understand how loud your surroundings are.

Features:

• Real-time sound level measurement
• Clear decibel display
• Simple, focused interface
• Useful for quick noise checks
• Works directly on your device

Please note: built-in microphones are not a replacement for professional calibrated sound level meters. Measurements may vary depending on device model, microphone condition, case, and environment. For legal, medical, workplace safety, or engineering purposes, use certified professional equipment.

The app metadata has been updated to include the Terms of Use (EULA) link in the App Description.

Inside the app, the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use links are available on the subscription/paywall screen.
