<p>Apple Watch now doubles as a hearing health monitor thanks to new noise level detection features in watchOS 6 (https://9to5mac.com/2019/09/19/top-watchos-6-features/). After being turned on by the user, the new Noise app on Apple Watch can measure decibel levels and send alerts when a noisy environment that could affect hearing is detected.</p>
<p>So how accurate is the Apple Watch at measuring sound? One Apple Watch customer who works as a test stand operator for a nuclear motor facility put the new Noise app to the test.</p>
