TooLoud

How loud is it, really?

TooLoud turns your iPhone into a simple sound level meter, so you can see at a glance whether the place you're in is loud enough to damage your hearing.

Your ears start to take damage above 85 dB — a busy street, a blender, a noisy restaurant — often without you noticing. TooLoud shows the volume around you in real time and warns you when it's worth reaching for ear protection.

FEATURES

• Live decibel readings — current, average and peak levels at a glance
• A clear, colour-coded meter: green when you're safe, red when you're not
• “How loud is that?” — a reference guide that maps everyday sounds, from a whisper to a concert, onto the decibel scale, with your own reading pinned in place
• Adjustable smoothing to filter out sudden spikes for a steadier average
• A clean, distraction-free design

TooLoud gives guideline readings using your device's built-in microphone, and it's a great way to build awareness of the noise in your daily life.

Protect your hearing — it doesn't grow back.
