*Sound Meter is a screening tool. Phone microphones vary by several decibels between models, so readings are estimates — it is not, and does not claim to be, a certified IEC 61672 Type 1 or Type 2 instrument.

Working principles
Working principles
Ad-free first.
Every app ships version 1.0 completely ad-free. If ads ever come, they come later, disclosed in advance — and never between you and the thing you opened the app to do.
Honest by default.
A tool that estimates says “estimate.” Specifications state their limits in plain words, and no feature is claimed that doesn’t exist.
Local by default.
Data stays on the device. No accounts, no analytics, no trackers — nothing can leak, because nothing is collected.
The workshop
About and contact
