Know the sound level around you, and how long you can stay safely. This app will tell you the approximate sound level pressure you are currently exposed to, and it will tell you how long you can stay at that level without risk of hearing loss. You can find inside more information about the decibel scale, the noise dose formula, attenuation standards, and more. This app was developed as a free companion for EarDial HiFi Earplugs - Invisible High Fidelity Hearing Protection, but it is useful even if you are not an owner of EarDial earplugs. You can compare the results if you are wearing EarDial earplugs or not. When you activate the EarDial switch, it will adjust the calculations based on the EarDial attenuation levels. You will be able to calibrate the app to your specific device if necessary. More information how to do that inside.

This level is different! It plays tones when level so you can HEAR that sweet sound of Level. No more running back and forth, squinting at a bubble level, or needing a partner to check for accuracy while you make adjustments. Sure, there are other level apps, but none like ToneLevel. Not only does it let you HEAR when you’re level, but it also offers a selection of cool faces to match your leveling style. Plus, ToneLevel lets you adjust the precision to fit your needs, whether you’re aiming for exactness or just “close enough.” When you’re within your chosen sensitivity range, ToneLevel will start playing tones sooner, so you’ll know you’re spot on.
