Can't find a private room for your call? Wondering if you're too loud on Zoom — or got a coworker who always is? Am I Too Loud? gives you a simple, glanceable answer. HOW IT WORKS Set your baseline. Hold still for a few seconds while the app listens to the room around you — wherever you're taking the call. That's your zero point. Then just glance. As you speak, the app shows you how many decibels louder you are than that baseline. Green means you're good. Yellow means you're creeping up. Red means you're too loud — and that's the only time the app actually says anything at all. DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY Most volume meters throw constant numbers and noise at you. Am I Too Loud? does the opposite: it's quiet until it matters. No words in green or yellow — just a calm color and a number. Built to sit beside you during a real call without becoming a distraction itself. BUILT FOR REAL PLACES Cafés. Libraries. Open offices. Co-working spaces. Anywhere the "right" volume depends on the room, not a fixed number. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Am I Too Loud? runs entirely on your device. Nothing you say is recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. The app measures relative sound levels only — never your speech content.
