Do you ever struggle to make a group of children silent for a while? With "Too Loud Kids Noise Meter & Timer" keeping the kids quiet will become fun and competitive. You set the timer duration, meter sensitivity and start the timer. While the time passes the voice meter measures and graphically shows the noise level. Behind the voice meter there is an animal which reacts to the voice level. When it is silent the animal looks happy and fun, but when the noise gets louder the animal and the background landscape is reacting accordingly to show graphically that the noise is too high. Features: • Voice meter with indicator showing if the noise level is low or high • Possibility to adjust the sensitivity and dampening of the voice meter – this app can be used not only when you want the kids to be absolutely quiet, but also when you accept a certain level of noise • Timer – you can set any duration from 10 seconds to 1,5 hour. • 6 background themes (cat with a house, monkey in a jungle, dolphin in a sea, lion on a desert, penguin on the South Pole) • Positive and negative marks – awarded when kids are silent or too loud • Sound effects • Possibility to record your own sound effects • Works with Bluetooth devices (speaker and recorder) We created this app to make "Be quiet!" sound less abstract for our own children. We found it extremely useful and we do hope that you will find it useful too. If you have any feedback or suggestions for new features please contact us. We would be happy to hear from you to be able to improve this app. ## Key features - Visual noise meter with indicator - Adjustable meter sensitivity - Customizable timer duration - Animated animal reactions - Positive and negative marks - Customizable sound effects - Bluetooth device compatibility ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | REMOVED ADS | $9.99 | one-time | | UNLOCK ALL THEMES & MARKS | $19.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 36) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/too-loud-noise-meter-and-timer/id1101856655/reviews.md ### 3/5 — Great app but lacks innovation *2025-12-07, version 1.4.1* I’ve used this app for a long time (I’m a teacher). I think it works really well. However, I wish it was upgraded to have more characters. I don’t think the app has changed in 6 years. ### 4/5 — Advertisement CHAOS, but great app altogether. *2025-09-30* Every time I start a timer, ad. Every time I cancel a timer, ad. Every time I finish a timer, you guessed it: AD! Overall, good app, and I understand you are trying to earn money with advertising, but don’t you think that this is excessive for even free apps. At least you made cash, but please limit advertising to like every 20 minutes or something. It seems like you are here for only the $_$. Maybe you made a few grand from this app, and that’s amazing! But maybe you could make more money by limiting ads so more people would use it, overall increasing your money slightly? Anyway, good app, bad advertising design. I got a driving test ad before I was 10. But maybe fixing it may help you better than me. ### 2/5 — Expensive *2025-09-10* This app is expensive for what you get. I purchased it before to get all of the features and then all a sudden last year I no longer had access to all of the features because they had raised the price. It says it has multiple sound level settings but really it only has two. Very sensitive and sensitive. ### 1/5 — Cannot restore purchases *2024-09-25* I purchased this app years ago (as in the whole $20!), but I cannot restore my purchases, so it is useless. I cannot have the stupid ads all of the time trying to use it in my classroom! It is also disappointing to no longer have access to the rest of the backgrounds and symbols. ### 3/5 — 🔵🔵🔵⚪️⚪️ *2024-09-16* This app is great, but I feel like people who can’t pay 20 dollars should still use a non-linear version of this app. So my problem solver is: Remove in app purchases altogether. You’ve probably made at least 500 dollars from this app, and you’re not making apps anymore. ### 1/5 — Cannot restore purchases *2024-09-15* I purchased this app years ago, but I cannot restore my purchases, so it is useless. I cannot have the stupid ads all of the time trying to use it in my classroom! It is also disappointing to no longer have access to the rest of the backgrounds and symbols. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2023-12-07* I do speech therapy in a school setting and was hoping to use this app with some of my students. Unfortunately, I don’t think it will be a fit for me. While I understand that this is a free app, I felt like it was overkill to have an ad as I turned on AND turned off the timer. There was also an add when I attempted to change the settings. I don’t have time in a 15-30 minute session to be dealing with ads that frequently. I know I could pay to remove ads, but there are also websites the offer the same service for free and I spend a lot of money as is on materials for my students. ### 5/5 — My favorite noise monitoring app. *2023-10-24* I wish it was still going strong. It looks like it’s not being supported anymore. ### 5/5 — Okay.. *2022-09-22* Hmm, these reviews are kinda rude. You can turn down the sensitivity in the settings. USEFUL INFORMATION: The settings button is in the *BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER* If that information wasn’t useful, then sorry. But the settings button.. IT’S THERE ### 5/5 — ??? *2022-03-25* What’s 9 plus 10 21 ## Frequently asked questions about Too Loud ### What does the Too Loud app do?
