Everyday moments

Situations where SoundAlert helps

The volume is still up from earlier — and now you’re somewhere quiet. SoundAlert lowers your media volume automatically, before anyone hears.

The same simple idea every time

  1. The volume is still up from earlier — a film at home, a noisy tram, a child playing with your phone.

  2. You open a supported app somewhere quiet.

  3. SoundAlert sees the media volume is above your limit and lowers it within about a second.
