SmarterNoise is a cool tool that measures how loud things are in videos and audio. It can even record videos and sounds for you, plus it gives you a heads up about the dangers of being exposed to too much noise. And get this, you can keep track of sound levels over a long period of time while the app is doing its thing in the background. It's got a camera, optional location stuff, and it's super easy to share your measurements with others. Oh, and did I mention that it has these nifty icons that change based on current research? They're all about keeping us healthy and happy by tackling noise pollution.

The unit for measuring noise and sound is called a decibel, which is like the volume level. But when we want to describe sound levels that change over time and give one overall measurement, we use a method called Leq. It's more common to use A-weighting when measuring sound levels because it ignores the frequencies that most people can't hear. So in this case, Leq is written as LAeq. LAeq gives us an average that focuses on the loudest parts of the sound, and it's one of the most popular measurements used by professionals to measure noise. All the averages in SmarterNoise are measured using LAeq.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), noise is like the second biggest troublemaker for our health, right after air pollution. Even though people are becoming more aware of environmental issues, we haven't really grasped how much noise affects us. Those living in cities have to put up with noise all day and night, whether they're at home or work. It's getting worse because of crazy traffic, more planes in the sky, cities growing bigger, and all that loud machinery from industries. To help folks understand this noisy mess, we created SmarterNoise.

SmarterNoise is the ultimate game-changer when it comes to measuring sound levels and noise. It gives you insights like never before into how noise can affect your hearing, brain power, health, and overall well-being. People all around the world are becoming more aware of the damaging effects of noise, especially in noisy cities. It's a versatile risk factor that can really mess with your happiness and health.
