KEY FEATURES

Real-Time Decibel Measurement
See your current sound level displayed on a beautiful arc gauge with animated needle. Watch MIN, AVG, and MAX values update live, with peak hold to catch sudden spikes.

Waveform & Spectrum Visualization
Toggle between time-domain waveform and frequency-domain spectrum views. Identify noise sources — is it low-frequency rumble or high-pitched whine? The FFT-powered spectrum analyzer shows you exactly where the sound energy is.
