Level

Measure it.
Play it. Set it.

Level pairs a live sound-level meter with a built-in pink-noise generator — so you can dial in speakers, match levels, and verify system balance without switching between tools.

Free on the App Store.

What it does

One number. Calm and clear.

Level reads your output as a single large number — no dense dashboard, no clutter. Just the level you need to set a channel, match a speaker, or confirm a system is balanced, clear at a glance and live as you work. Plug in a calibrated USB measurement mic like the Dayton iMM-6C and import its cal file, and those readings become true SPL.

Live output, front and center

A big, calm decibel number that responds the instant you move a gain or volume knob — readable from the listening seat, so you set the level where you actually hear it.

Peak-hold “Max”

A marker floats to the loudest moment and holds it — so you can confirm a peak, compare one speaker against another, or check that nothing runs hotter than you intended. Reset with a tap.

A, C & Z weighting

A-weighted to match how your ears hear, C for full-range and bass-heavy systems, Z unweighted for raw output. Fast or Slow response — the right curve for the level you’re setting.

The reference signal

Match levels. Balance channels.

Tap play and Level sends pink noise out any output — your iPhone, AirPlay, Bluetooth, or a USB interface — while the meter keeps reading. Set one speaker to a target, then match the next to it; balance the channels of a car system or a home rig; dial in gains against the number, not guesswork.

Pink noise
85dB

One reference, every speaker.

A consistent, full-spectrum reference, generated on-device and sent to the output you choose. Match speaker levels, balance left and right, set a listening level, or check the system end to end — without juggling apps or test tracks.

How it works

Measure. Play. Set.

No setup, no account. Open Level and it’s reading live — the same three steps every time you dial in a system.

Measure

Allow the microphone and read a speaker’s output live, from the listening position. Audio is measured only — nothing is recorded.

Play

Send pink noise out any output — iPhone, AirPlay, Bluetooth, or USB — so every speaker has the same reference to level against.

Set

Match each speaker to your target, balance the channels, and confirm the system is even — by the number or by ear.

Privacy

Your sound never leaves your device.

Audio is measured in real time and never recorded, stored, or uploaded. The reference noise is generated on-device. Level does not collect, store, or share your personal data — and it makes no network connections at all.

No account. No signup. No analytics. No third-party SDKs. No in-app purchases.

  • Microphone input is processed entirely on-device, for measurement only.
  • Nothing is recorded or saved — readings live only while the app is open.
  • The app makes no network requests of any kind.
  • No third-party SDKs and no analytics, ever.

This page serves as the privacy policy for the Level iPhone app.
