SoundMeter is a sound level measurement application that uses your device's microphone to display approximate decibel readings, frequency spectrum data, and noise exposure information.

4. NIOSH and Safety Information

The App displays exposure time guidelines based on NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) recommended exposure limits. This information is provided for general educational reference only and should not be used as the sole basis for hearing protection decisions. Always consult qualified professionals and use certified equipment for occupational noise assessments.
