What to Contact Us About
Technical issues with tools
If a tool is not working — microphone not responding, measurement not displaying, tool not loading, or results that seem unexpected — please include:
- Your device type (desktop, laptop, phone, or tablet)
- Your operating system and version (e.g. Windows 11, macOS Ventura, iOS 17)
- Your browser name and version (e.g. Chrome 124, Safari 17)
- The specific tool you were using (e.g. Online Decibel Meter, Frequency Analyzer)
- A description of what happened and what you expected
Before contacting us, check that microphone permissions are enabled in your browser, your browser is up to date, and you are using Chrome on a desktop or laptop for best results. For detailed accuracy information, see Online Decibel Meter Accuracy and Testing Methodology.
Safety figures and content corrections
SoundDBMeter.com publishes noise safety thresholds, NIOSH and OSHA exposure limits, and hearing damage risk information. Accuracy matters here more than on most informational sites — these figures can influence health-related decisions.
If you believe any safety figure, regulatory limit, or technical claim on this site is incorrect, outdated, or misrepresents a primary source, please include:
- The URL of the page containing the error
- The specific claim or figure you believe is incorrect
- The primary source (NIOSH, OSHA, WHO, or other institution) supporting the correction
All correction requests are reviewed by Addito against primary published sources. Verified corrections are applied promptly. Our research standards and corrections process are in the Editorial Policy.
Privacy and data requests
To request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data, or to exercise rights under GDPR or CCPA, use the subject line “GDPR Data Request” or “CCPA Privacy Request” when contacting us. Before submitting, review the Privacy Policy — it explains what personal data this site holds and applicable response timelines.
General questions and feedback
Questions about sound measurement concepts, decibel science, NIOSH vs OSHA standards, tool functionality, or suggestions for new content — all welcome. Clear, specific messages receive the most useful responses.
