InDecibel: Sound Meter

Measure surrounding noise levels in dB(A) in real time and instantly see how loud your environment is. InDecibel uses your phone’s microphone as a simple sound meter and shows the current sound level, session statistics, and short-term noise changes.

InDecibel does not record audio files. Sound is processed locally on your device only to provide an approximate noise level measurement. Results depend on the microphone and audio hardware of your specific smartphone, so the app is not a replacement for a certified professional sound level meter.

No ads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases. Open the app, allow microphone access, and start measuring.
