Browsers require explicit permission for every audio test. Approve the request and reopen the page if you dismissed it previously.

Keep levels consistent

Speak at your normal volume and watch the bar hover between 40% and 70%. If it stays low, raise system gain; if it clips, lower the boost.

• Live input meter backed by the Web Audio API. • Device selector that lists every audio input exposed by the OS. • Permission status, peak level, and waveform preview at a glance. • Activity log that records device changes and stream errors.
• Measures RMS level up to 100% with peak tracking. • Zero-install experience; everything runs locally in your browser tab. • Works with USB, 3.5 mm, Bluetooth, and virtual microphones. • Friendly privacy notice so reviewers know nothing leaves the device.
Q: Can I record audio with this tool? A: No—only the live level is shown. Nothing is uploaded or stored. Q: Why can’t I see my USB microphone? A: Click “Refresh devices” after plugging it in, or reopen the page so the browser re-enumerates inputs. Q: How do I diagnose noise? A: Stay silent and watch the baseline. If it sits above 20%, lower gain or enable noise suppression in your driver.
