dBing turns your iPhone into a fast, accurate sound level meter. Whether you're checking a noisy workplace, measuring how loud a concert really is, protecting your hearing, or just curious about the world around you, dBing gives you a clean, real-time readout of ambient sound — no clutter, no guesswork. MEASURE SOUND INSTANTLY Point your phone at any sound source and watch the decibel level update live on a precision gauge, calibrated in dBA (A-weighted decibels) — the same weighting used by professionals to match how the human ear perceives loudness. KEY FEATURES • Real-time decibel meter with a smooth, easy-to-read gauge • Min, Average (LEQ), and Max readings for every session • Live waveform so you can see sound levels change over time • A-weighting (dBA) and Z-weighting (flat) modes • Adjustable time weighting for fast or slow response • Built-in calibration to fine-tune accuracy for your device • Session history to review past measurements • Clean, distraction-free design that adapts to your screen GREAT FOR • Checking noise levels at work, home, gyms, restaurants, and events • Monitoring loud environments to help protect your hearing • Musicians, sound engineers, and AV setups • Students and teachers exploring acoustics and physics • Anyone who wants to know "how loud is that, really?" A NOTE ON ACCURACY Smartphone microphones vary by model and are not lab-grade instruments. dBing is built for everyday awareness and relative measurement, and the built-in calibration lets you align readings to a reference source for the best results. For certified, regulatory-grade readings, use a professional SPL meter. Download dBing and start measuring the sound around you today.
