Ever wonder how loud a sound really is? Well now you can with Decibel Meter! Decibel Meter uses your iPhone’s built in Mic to determine the intensity level of sounds it picks up, and displays it in dB SPL (Decibel Sound Pressure Level). *
Simply start up Decibel Meter and it will automatically start sampling sounds, and shows you the RMS average decibel reading as well as the peak decibel reading. Decibel Meter also provides a fun graphical way of interpreting the level of sound.
The iPhone’s built in Mic has the ability to pick up sounds near 0 dB SPL and up to around 110 dB SPL. Be sure to check out our website for a better understand of how decibels are measured!
FEATURES:
-Easy to use, little user interaction required
-Easy to read Display
-Multiple views! Choose between level meter, and graph view
- Average and peak decibel levels, as well as peak hold feature
-User adjustable sample rate
-Graphical representation of sound level
*Decibel Meter should be used for entertainment purposes; the iPhone’s built in mic is not sensitive enough for professional level sound metering.

Excellent! My own portable audio meter.

This will be a tremendous tool for helping me learn how loud decibels are. Well worth the price.
Waste of money

Do not buy this app I wasted a dollar and it's way off db levels are no where close to what they should be.
As advertised

Does what it says and I have found it very educational. I would like to see A weighting, and smoother averaging, bit overall a swell little app. You might be suprised how loud that music is you are listening too. Hearing loss occurs at just 85 dB prolonged exposure.
Nice App for educational and entertainment purpose.

Nice Application. Not high tech but it works. The average, and peak is good but I would like to see a third scale for Peak Hold, which would be the absolute Max sound peak. I would like to have the option to rotate the entire display 180 degrees, this way I can point the microphone towards the sound source and still properly view the display.
Works great but

I would give it 5 stars but when I clicked to install it. 20 minutes went buy and it was stll loading and when I clicked on it my iPhone locked up for 5 hours. Then I got a message to download it through iTunes. After I did that the app. And phone work fine. It could have been on my end also. Great app. Though
Works as described, but can only go so high

Do not buy this app if you're measuring sounds over 114db. It caps at 114 and is unable to go any higher.
Novelty - limited by iPhone's mic

I downloaded this app because I'm a vocalist and wanted to see how loud my voice can go. I maxed it out easily at 114dbs and was disappointed it didn't go higher, but for a buck, I wasn't disappointed. A novel, cheap app to teach kids about loudness.
Great app

Not sure the meter is accurate or not but was able to use it to test different levels of sound for waterfalls to put in my backyard. Made the choice easy. Accurate for comparing levels as long as the phone is the same distance from the source.
