Result

This page opens the mic test in volume-check mode: press Start test, speak normally and watch the live level bar react.

The meter shows the current level in dBFS together with a plain verdict — too quiet, good level or too loud. If the bar barely moves while you talk, raise the input gain in your system settings or move the microphone closer.

The whole measurement happens locally through the Web Audio API: no sound is recorded or sent anywhere, so you can check your setup even in sensitive environments without a second thought.
