Decibel 10th turns your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch into a sound meter which uses the iPad microphone to measure the sound level all around you. It also shows a graph of the sound level over time.

This can be used in class to measure how loud different sounds are. Take it around the school to measure the loudest and quietest places – or take it outside to measure noise pollution.
