Keep Your Hearing in Check
Your Apple Watch now comes with an app called Noise, and this app will actively “hear” your environment to measure the sound decibels.
If your Apple Watch feels you are in a place where the sound is too loud, it’ll notify you that exposing yourself for too long might harm your hearing and suggest you move to a different place.
By default, the Noise app should be turned on, but here’s how you can enable it for yourself.
How to Enable the Noise app on Apple Watch.
- Press the Digital Crown on your Watch.
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and select Noise.
- Tap on Environmental Sound Measurements.
- Toggle Measure Sounds on.
How to Enable the Noise app on iPhone.
- Open the Watch app.
- Scroll down and select Noise.
- Toggle Environmental Sounds Measurements on.
You can also go to Noise settings to change the Noise Threshold and the Notification Grouping settings.
