Is It Noisy? | Online Noise Level Meter

Our free online decibel meter allows you to measure sound decibels (dB) in your environment using your device's microphone. This sound level meter app provides real-time noise level readings, average sound levels, and peak measurements, helping you understand the acoustic environment around you.

To use our online sound meter, simply click the "Start Measuring" button. The noise meter will request access to your microphone. Once granted, it will measure sound decibels in real-time, displaying current, average, and peak noise levels. Click "Stop Measuring" to end the session.

- **0-70 dB**: Safe and comfortable sound levels.
- **70-85 dB**: Moderately loud; extended exposure may cause discomfort.
- **Above 85 dB**: Potentially harmful noise levels; prolonged exposure can damage hearing.

While our online decibel meter provides a good estimate of noise levels, it's not a professional-grade sound level meter. Accuracy can vary depending on your device's microphone quality and environmental factors.

- **30 dB**: Whisper
- **60 dB**: Normal conversation
- **70 dB**: Busy traffic
- **80 dB**: Alarm clock
- **90 dB**: Lawnmower
- **100 dB**: Motorcycle
- **110 dB**: Rock concert

Protect your hearing by limiting exposure to loud noises, using ear protection in noisy environments, taking breaks from prolonged noise exposure, and keeping the volume down when using headphones or earbuds.

Our free online noise meter provides a general estimate of sound levels but should not be used for official occupational noise measurements. Professional-grade equipment is required for accurate workplace noise assessments.

The sensitivity setting allows you to adjust how the sound meter app responds to sound. Increase sensitivity if the meter isn't picking up quieter sounds, or decrease it if the decibel readings seem too high under normal conditions.
