About Sound Meter

Measure environmental noise with your phone.

What Sound Meter Is Used For

Sound Meter appears to be a phone-based tool for measuring environmental noise levels through the device’s microphone. Based on the metadata, it is most likely used when someone wants a quick decibel reading in everyday places such as a room, office, street, or other noisy environment.

Because it requests microphone access, the app may rely on live audio input to estimate sound levels. Its Tools category suggests a utility purpose rather than entertainment, so it may be helpful for simple noise checking, comparing loudness in different spots, or getting a rough sense of whether a space is quiet or busy. The internet and network permissions suggest it may also connect for app-related services or ads support, while foreground service and wake lock permissions may help it keep measuring while the screen is active or while the app is in use.
