It is never recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. ONE-TIME PRO β€” NO SUBSCRIPTION Unlock unlimited history, alerts, detailed charts, and CSV export with a single purchase. Pay once, own it forever. Note: a phone microphone is not a certified sound meter. Readings are estimates β€” use them as a guide, not for compliance.
