Comments on Sound Meter for Android

★★★★☆ HealthyWayne Young · Jul 21, 2026

Works well. Does what it says. Nice simple uncluttered UI.

★★★★★ jose andres · Jun 8, 2026

Simple app, does what It's supposed to, easy to use, ads are reasonable, and it just works.

★★★★★ Doug Guthrie · Jul 15, 2026

It is very accurate, easy to use, I use it to check sound levels of my hot rods

★★★★★ Than Thannu · Jun 13, 2026

The external noise output and the meter's readings are consistent. Excellent App 👍👍👍👍👍

★★★★★ John Daniel II · Jul 5, 2026

Does its job. Gives you a decent reference of sound level. It's not a reference quality measurement, but it's a good ballpark reference.

★★☆☆☆ Steve JB · Jun 19, 2026

Suspicious of some ads that appear. I was shown an ad for something called ‘Cyber Scan’ (or similar). The ad had a white background, turquoise buttons and was displayed like a security scan. It also displayed two different ‘close ad’ (x) buttons — both in a similar position. The combination of the fake‑security style layout and the apparent mimicking close button made me uncomfortable. Quickly uninstalled Sound Meter after

★☆☆☆☆ Jonathan Shibley · Jun 20, 2026

I can't find a way to adjust the weighting Are the measurements a c or z. without this, the app is worthless

★☆☆☆☆ Jezz Smith · Jul 24, 2026

I only needed to tap inside the app twice before a full page cancellable ad appeared. I will now uninstall this utter garbage.
