Amusing submitted by garapatisriram on July 17, 2013, 1:54pm amazingly funny.

Fun for Kids and Adults submitted by Zac Johnson on June 30, 2014, 9:16pm As it turns out, the quietest place in our house was in a closet (50 dB) and the loudest was at the ice maker (101 dB!).
Street noise and a toilet flush are both 78 db.

Sound Meter submitted by Varshini on June 24, 2019, 8:11pm This was cool to test out. However, my house is very quiet with me alone in it, so I didn't have much fun.
