Soundlevel.app VS ShellNewHandler

• No installation needed
  I could not visit soundlevel.app, so this and the other points are inferred from the name and the typical traits of browser-based sound level meters. A web-based tool like this usually runs in the browser without an app download, so it is quick to open on a phone or computer.
• Quick, accessible noise checks
  A tool like this would let you get a rough decibel reading from your device's microphone in seconds. That is handy for checking noise at home, at work, or in a classroom, with no special equipment.
• Likely free or low cost
  Simple web utilities in this category are often free or ad-supported. That makes them easy to try, though you should check the site's actual pricing.
• Cross-platform use
  Because it runs in a browser, it should work on most devices with a microphone and a modern browser, including Windows, macOS, Android and iOS.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited accuracy
  Consumer microphones and browser audio processing, such as automatic gain control and noise suppression, can skew readings. Results are usually not calibrated like a professional Class 1 or Class 2 sound level meter.
• Not suitable for compliance or professional use
  Readings from a phone or laptop microphone generally cannot be used for workplace safety, legal or acoustic engineering purposes. Those need certified, calibrated equipment.
• Microphone permission and privacy concerns
  Web apps need microphone access, which some users are wary of granting. You should check the site's privacy policy to see how audio data is handled.
• Device and browser variability
  Microphone sensitivity differs widely between devices, so the same sound can give different readings on different hardware. Browser support for audio features can also vary.
• Unverified details
  I could not verify this site's specific features, pricing, or reviews. Check the site yourself for details such as calibration options, data logging, and ads.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
