Real-time sound monitoring for a more productive learning environment

Managing classroom noise levels just got easier. With Gynzy’s new Sound Meter, you can now monitor sound levels live and give students instant visual feedback—right on your interactive whiteboard.


What is the Sound Meter?

The Sound Meter is a simple, effective tool that uses your device’s microphone to measure the volume in your classroom. It displays sound intensity on a dynamic dial that updates in real-time, helping you and your students stay aware of noise levels during lessons.


How it helps in the classroom

  • Visual feedback encourages self-regulation
    The live dial shows students exactly how loud the room is, encouraging them to adjust their volume without needing reminders.

  • Supports active learning environments
    Whether your class is working in groups or transitioning between activities, the Sound Meter helps maintain a productive noise level.


Two ways to use the Sound Meter in your day


Create calm during group work
Display the Sound Meter while students collaborate. The visual dial helps groups moderate their own noise level, keeping the atmosphere focused and respectful.

Reinforce quiet time expectations
Use the tool during independent reading or test time. When students see the dial spike, they’re reminded to lower their voices without you needing to say a word.

Built for the interactive whiteboard

Like all Gynzy tools, the Sound Meter is designed to support whole-class instruction. Open it on your board, and it instantly becomes part of your classroom routine. It’s another way Gynzy helps keep your lessons running smoothly—and your students engaged.
