Noise Meter Widget & Shusher

📢 Sound, Noise Meter + Widget – Real-time Noise Monitoring

Sound, Noise Meter + Widget is a powerful and customizable real-time noise level detector with an integrated widget and continuous background monitoring. It uses a foreground service to ensure uninterrupted noise measurement and provide narrated alerts when noise exceeds a set threshold.

🔹 Why Does This App Require a Foreground Service?

📢 Continuous Noise Monitoring – The app needs to run continuously in the background to detect noise fluctuations and provide real-time alerts.

🎤 Accurate Readings Without Interruption – Without a foreground service, Android may pause or stop noise monitoring, leading to missed alerts.

🔔 Real-time Alerts Even When the App is Closed – Narration alerts must work at all times, even when the app is not actively open.

📌 Widget Functionality – The widget relies on the foreground service to continuously update noise levels in real time. Without it, the widget may stop updating or display outdated information.

🔹 Key Features:

✅ Live Noise Meter – Accurately measure environmental sound levels in real-time.

✅ Customizable Widget – Display current noise levels directly on the home screen, with adjustable colors and font sizes.

✅ Background Noise Monitoring – Runs continuously in the background to detect high noise levels and issue immediate alerts.

✅ Narration Alerts (Spoken Warnings) – Get spoken warnings when noise is too high, ideal for security monitoring or assisting the hearing impaired.

✅ Shush Noisy People – Set custom narration messages to remind people to stay quiet when they disturb the environment.
