Turn your iPhone into a sound level meter

Noise usually stays a feeling — the neighbors upstairs, the hum of a café, machinery at work. Decibel Meter turns that feeling into numbers and records, measuring your surroundings in real time so you can protect your hearing.

Key features

Real-time decibel measurement

An intuitive circular gauge shows the current level at a glance while a live chart plots how sound changes over time, so spikes are visible rather than remembered.

Detailed statistics

Every session tracks minimum, maximum, and average decibel levels, separating a brief spike from sustained exposure.

History and sharing

Save sessions to revisit later and share results with others — useful evidence when raising a noise problem.

Calibration

Adjust sensitivity to your device and environment so readings stay dependable.

Alert thresholds

Set a custom decibel limit and get notified the moment it's exceeded — ideal for workplace noise or sleep environments.

Personalization

Choose from multiple themes to suit your taste.

Great for

  • Documenting noise from neighbors or nearby construction
  • Understanding noise exposure at work
  • Checking whether a bedroom is quiet enough for sleep
  • Comparing cafés and offices as places to focus

Available in 18 languages including English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.
