Turn the sounds around you into real numbers you can see, record, and share.
Whether it’s the hum of traffic or the roar of an engine, this app listens, measures, and shows you exactly how loud the world is β€” in real time. A clean interface lets you start or stop measuring in one tap. Instantly view the minimum, average, and peak sound pressure levels, then keep a detailed log of every reading you take. You can even export or share complete dB reports whenever you need them. Watch your readings come alive through smooth, dynamic charts β€” choose from five unique visual styles that make every sound look as interesting as it feels. For professionals and enthusiasts, the built-in dosimeter provides duration tracking and live level indicators for 90 dB, 110 dB, and beyond β€” helping you visualize exposure with motion and precision. Add context to your readings with the camera feature: snap a photo that includes time, date, dB values, and average/min/max data right on the image. Perfect for quick documentation or reports. A simple reference guide helps you understand what the numbers mean β€” from the quiet whisper of 20 dB to the thunderous 110 dB of a motorcycle. Measure. Visualize. Understand.
Because sound isn’t just noise β€” it’s data you can see.
