How to measure ambient noise in apple watch with watch OS 6

Audible

A brand-new Noise app for Apple Watch is the built-in decibel meter along with an automatic notification is one of the few interesting hearing health innovations in watch OS 6 which has the potential to help protect people from noise that can easily damage their hearing.

Unfortunately, hearing loss happens so gradually and over longer periods of time that you don’t even notice it until it’s too late. And we all know or should be aware of the fact that keeping your hearing in good condition is key to maintaining your independence as you grow older.
The Noise app uses the microphone in your watch to periodically measure noise levels throughout the day. You can also measure the noise level in real time, a life-saver when in loud environments that could easily negatively impact your hearing.
How to use the decibel meter on Apple Watch
By default, your Apple Watch will warn you when your average sound level over a period of three minutes reaches or exceeds 90 decibels. When that happens, you’ll feel a gentle buzz on your wrist and an alert will pop up on the Apple Watch display.
You can tap the notification to open the Noise app and see more details.

How to check noise level in real time
To check your noise level in real time, do the following:
1) Press the Digital Crown to get to the Home screen, then tap the Noise app icon to launch the app. You can also put the app in your Dock for quicker access or use Siri to open Noise.
2) As the noise level around you changes, the onscreen decibel meter moves dynamically, in real time. The Noise app rates the current noise level as either OK or Loud. To learn more about decimal ranges, scroll down and tap Learn More.
If you’re in a construction zone and the Noise app has warned you of potentially damaging noise levels, move somewhere else as soon as possible. The same goes if you’re at a sporting event, rock concert or some other venue that produces loud noises.
