Microphone signal bench
Ready for a microphone sample
Run the test for 5–10 seconds while speaking at normal call volume. MeterSee will retain the peak, noise floor, and clip count when you stop.
Browser readings are diagnostic estimates, not calibrated laboratory measurements. dBFS values describe the digital signal level, not acoustic loudness in dB SPL.
Interpret the result
Separate a hardware problem from a browser problem.
A moving meter only proves that some signal reached the page. Use the pattern below to isolate the layer before changing equipment.
Confirm the active device name, then check the operating-system input meter.
Lower hardware or OS input gain until speech peaks remain below −6 dBFS.
Mute nearby sources and compare with a second input before replacing the microphone.
