Tracking since Apr 7, 2026.

Changelog

  description

  Noise Monitor helps you stay aware of your speaking volume during video calls on Google Meet and Microsoft Teams.
  
  Once installed, the extension adds a small floating control panel to your call page. Use the slider to set a volume threshold (in decibels). When your voice exceeds that threshold, the screen turns red and shows a warning — giving you instant feedback to lower your voice.
  
  If you switch to another tab, you'll still be alerted: the extension icon shows a red badge and the call tab title updates with a warning prefix, so you always know when you're too loud.
  
  **Key Features:**
  - Real-time microphone volume monitoring using the Web Audio API
  - Adjustable volume threshold slider (-60 dB to 0 dB)
  - Full-screen red overlay warning with click-through (doesn't block your call)
  - Cross-tab alerts: extension badge + tab title warning when you're on another tab
  - Live volume meter bar showing your current mic level
  - One-click ON/OFF toggle
  - Collapsible control panel that remembers its state
  - Works on both Google Meet and Microsoft Teams (browser)
  - Settings sync across your Chrome devices
  
  **Privacy First:**
  - All audio processing happens 100% locally in your browser
  - No audio is ever recorded, stored, or transmitted
  - No analytics, telemetry, or tracking
  - No server-side component
  - Minimal permissions: only mic access + call page access + local storage
  
  **How to Use:**
  1. Open a Google Meet or Microsoft Teams call in your browser
  2. Allow microphone access when prompted
  3. Adjust the Volume Threshold slider to your comfort level
  4. Speak normally — if you get too loud, you'll see a red warning
  5. The panel remembers your settings, so you only need to configure once
  
  **Tips:**
  - Move the slider left (more negative) for a less sensitive trigger
  - Move the slider right (closer to 0) for a more sensitive trigger
  - Default threshold is -23 dB, suitable for most headset microphones
  - Click the minimize button to collapse the panel during calls
  
  Perfect for open offices, shared workspaces, recording sessions, or anyone who wants to be mindful of their volume on calls.

  Mic volume alert and microphone monitor for Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. QuietCue gives you a gentle visual reminder when you're speaking too loudly during video calls — so you'll know if you're getting too loud on calls, even before someone tells you.
  
  For people who care about the people around them.
  
  Whether you work in an open office, share a wall with a flatmate, take calls from a coffee shop, or have a partner trying to focus in the next room — QuietCue helps you stay mindful of your speaking volume during Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls.
                                                                                                                                      
  It's easy to get carried away on a Meet or Teams call. You're focused on the conversation, not on the people nearby — and headsets make it especially hard to tell when your microphone is picking up a louder voice than you realize. QuietCue is a gentle, ambient reminder — not an alarm — that helps you keep your voice at a level that respects everyone around you.
  
  How it works:
  
  QuietCue adds a small floating panel to your call page. Set a comfortable volume threshold using the slider, and that's it. If your voice rises above that level, the screen turns red as a soft visual cue — easy to notice out of the corner of your eye, but never blocking your call. The moment you bring your volume back down, the cue fades away.
  
  If you switch to another tab during the call, you'll still get a quiet nudge: the extension icon shows a red badge and the call tab title updates with a warning prefix.
