Frequently asked questions
Is it a real decibel meter?
No. The level is relative and depends on each device's microphone, so the tool shows a 0 to 100 scale instead of decibels. For official noise measurements, use a calibrated sound level meter.
Is the sound recorded?
No. The microphone audio is analyzed in real time in your browser and isn't recorded or sent anywhere.
How do I adjust it for my classroom?
Have the class be quiet, check the level and set the limit a little above it. The screen turns red only when talking goes past that point.
Is it really free?
