If you have ten minutes to spare, this will take up nine of them but it will be worth it! Enjoy. I downloaded Decibel Meter from the Apple App Store yesterday for reasons that are far too trivial to go into here, and it’s fascinating! My bedroom runs at around 45dB RMS, my car at 40mph is around 80dB RMS and the meeting I was in this morning can be seen below.
