How to use the decibel checker
Tap Start Measuring, allow microphone access, keep the microphone uncovered and watch the live reading. Use the calibration offset if you can compare the device against a known sound-level meter.
Check the estimated sound level around you using your device microphone. Everything is processed locally in your browser.
Browser microphones are not calibrated sound-level meters. Readings are estimates and can vary by device, microphone processing and calibration.
Tap Start Measuring, allow microphone access, keep the microphone uncovered and watch the live reading. Use the calibration offset if you can compare the device against a known sound-level meter.
The live panel tracks the current estimate plus minimum, average, maximum and peak levels. The chart keeps a short history so sudden changes are easier to spot.
The microphone stream stays in the browser. DecibelChecker does not record, store or send your audio to a server.
It is a browser-based estimator. A calibrated SPL meter is required for certified or compliance measurements.
Microphones, automatic gain control and operating-system audio processing differ between devices. Calibration can reduce, but not remove, those differences.
No. The tools process the live stream locally and do not upload or save audio.
