What is Noise Meter — Shusher?

A mobile app that estimates ambient sound level using your phone’s microphone, runs timed measurement sessions, scores the environment, saves history on device, and optionally alerts you in-app when noise exceeds a threshold (Shusher).

Yes. Core metering, sessions, Shusher, and limited history are free. Premium is a one-time upgrade for charts, CSV export, longer sessions, themes, more history, and no ads.

Both. Bundle ID: `com.zuki.apps.noisemeter`.

What languages are supported?

12 locales including English, Hebrew, Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. Change language in Settings.

How accurate is the decibel reading?

It is an approximate level based on consumer phone hardware. Position, case, wind, and device model all affect results. Not calibrated for professional SPL, OSHA, or legal noise-ordinance enforcement.

Why does my reading differ from a real sound meter?

Professional meters use calibrated microphones and specific measurement standards. Phones are tuned for speech and vary by manufacturer.

Can I use this in a dispute with a neighbor or landlord?

Use readings as informal context only. For legal or compliance matters, hire a qualified acoustician with calibrated equipment.

Does the app record or upload audio?

No continuous recording or cloud upload of raw audio. The app processes level data locally for metering and sessions.

When is the microphone active?

While the app is open and metering or running a session—not as a background listener.

Why does iOS ask for tracking (ATT)?

Free tier uses ads. Apple requires permission before personalized ad tracking. Premium removes ads.

Are Shusher alerts push notifications?

No. They appear inside the app while the live meter is active.

Shusher doesn’t alert me

Check: Shusher enabled in Settings · threshold not set too high · meter tab open and mic running · live level actually exceeds threshold.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

1. Information We Collect

The app uses the device microphone to measure sound while you run a session. Measurement results and history are stored locally unless you export or share them. Advertising and optional analytics SDKs may collect limited device or usage data per their policies and your OS settings (e.g. App Tracking Transparency on iOS).

2. How We Use Your Information

Audio is processed to derive level estimates and scores; we do not use it for unrelated voice recognition on your speech content as a default product feature. Aggregated diagnostics may help improve stability when enabled.

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. Data leaves your device when you share or export, when required by law, or when third-party services (ads, stores, analytics) process data as part of normal operation.

4. Data Security

Use a device passcode and current OS updates. Uninstalling the app removes app-local data subject to OS behavior.

5. Your Rights

You may clear history in-app, revoke microphone permission in system settings, or uninstall the app. Contact us for privacy requests applicable in your region.
