This is easily the best decibel meter app I've ever used. Has more useful features than all the other apps (the others all are missing one or two things, this one is comprehensive) and the ads aren't constantly popping up every 15 seconds. Only downside is the remove ad cost is a bit more than the others, but the ads aren't very intrusive so it doesn't feel as necessary.

I've only used it for simple volume tests. Works great for that & compares the decibel level to things like a quiet library, conversation, etc. I only allow mic/recording "this one time" so there's no chance it will listen at other times than when I'm specifically using it to test decibel levels. I've not done a thorough check as to whether it ever starts up on its own. Seems like it doesn't, which I prefer. Will update if I find out differently. I prefer simple apps with my control. TY

I was able to use it for more than 5 seconds without a full screen timed ad popping up and it works even better than the last one I tried that was literally unusable due to ads. A+, great app, don't add excessive ads though. Last one was immediately uninstalled. Took longer to download than the length of time it was on my phone
