Terms of use

By using dB Meters you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

1. The service

dB Meters is a free web tool that estimates sound levels from your device's microphone, using calculations made on your device. We may change, improve or discontinue any part of it at any time.

2. Not a certified instrument

Phone and computer microphones vary, and readings depend on calibration, the device, its case and how it's held. Readings can be wrong. dB Meters is not a certified sound level meter and must not be relied on for legal, regulatory, workplace-compliance, medical or safety decisions. Use a certified instrument and a qualified professional for those.

3. Hearing health

The noise dose and safe-time figures are general guidance based on published recommendations. They are not medical advice. If you're worried about your hearing, see a doctor or audiologist.

4. Acceptable use

Don't attempt to disrupt the site, scrape it at a scale that degrades it for others, or misrepresent it as your own. You may link to any page.

5. Content

The site's text, design and code are owned by dB Meters.

6. No warranty

The site is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose and availability.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, dB Meters isn't liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or any loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site.
