Typical levels, rounded, as hearing-health guides list them.
Phones and laptops do not report true sound pressure, so this meter assumes the loudest sound your microphone can capture is about 100 dB. Readings are approximate and unweighted. If you can compare with a calibrated meter, shift the offset to match it.
