It gives a live read-out of the data in the ‘noise’ app on the Apple Watch. Not sure if that functionality exists without the watch, though!

Edit: not the most scientific measurement, so apologies if my original comment was misleading

Yes, good point! Whilst it’s probably better than nothing, it won’t be a proper substitute for proper hearing protection like the earplugs mentioned

I know it’s way more expensive, but the last gig I went to, I used my AirPods Pro in transparency mode, and it reduced the sound down from an insane ~110db to peaks of 90! Definitely worth protecting your ears.

This is great, thank you! By far the best lemmy experience.

I wonder if the area for swiping from left to right to go back could be increased? I find that I have to really find the sweet spot to the edge of my screen in order to make it work, and with left gestures disabled, it would be great if it worked in their place. Is that possible?

Haha! God says John Stones will bring us salvation
