How to read it
- Level now and peak
- In dBFS. 0 is the loudest a digital signal can go; normal speech sits well below it. A peak that touches 0 is clipping.
- Room noise
- Measured while you stay quiet for 3 seconds. Fans, traffic and computer hum all show up here.
- Voice gap
- How many dB your speaking level sits above the room noise. A bigger gap means a cleaner recording.
- Playback
- Listen to your 5-second clip. Your ears catch echo and muffled sound that a meter cannot.

Questions
Is my voice recorded or uploaded?
No. The sound is analysed in this browser tab with the Web Audio API. The 5-second clip is kept in the tab's memory only, and it is gone when you close or reload the page.
The browser never asked for my microphone. What now?
You probably blocked it earlier. Click the lock or settings icon next to the address, allow the microphone for this site, then reload.
What does dBFS mean?
Decibels relative to full scale. 0 dBFS is the ceiling of a digital signal, so every normal reading is negative. Anything that reaches 0 is cut off, which you hear as crackle or distortion.
Why does my level look different in Zoom or Meet?
Call apps switch on noise suppression, echo cancellation and automatic gain. Tick "Raw signal" to see what the microphone delivers without them.
