How loud is it, really? TooLoud turns your iPhone into a simple sound level meter, so you can see at a glance whether the place you're in is loud enough to damage your hearing. Your ears start to take damage above 85 dB — a busy street, a blender, a noisy restaurant — often without you noticing. TooLoud shows the volume around you in real time and warns you when it's worth reaching for ear protection. FEATURES • Live decibel readings — current, average and peak levels at a glance • A clear, colour-coded meter: green when you're safe, red when you're not • “How loud is that?” — a reference guide that maps everyday sounds, from a whisper to a concert, onto the decibel scale, with your own reading pinned in place • Adjustable smoothing to filter out sudden spikes for a steadier average • A clean, distraction-free design TooLoud gives guideline readings using your device's built-in microphone, and it's a great way to build awareness of the noise in your daily life. Protect your hearing — it doesn't grow back.
