With watchOS 6, Apple announced a new noise app. I want to explain how this works here.

I think everyone knows that the Apple Watch is getting more and more health functions. These include fall detection and the recording of full-fledged electrocardiograms, or EKGs for short. The Apple Watch has even been able to save several lives, according to various reports. In which Main event of WWDC 2019 The company from Cupertino presented a noise app with watchOS 6 as a further health feature.

watchOS 6: Notification in noisy environments

The noise app appears with the latest iOS and watchOS beta in the iPhone app for the Apple Watch. There you can set the decibel level from which you want to be warned of possible hearing damage. By default, a number of 90 decibels is set here on the recommendation of the World Health Organization, or WHO for short. If the ambient volume exceeds this noise level, an alarm is triggered. Alternatively, information is available via the noise app in watchOS or via the watch face extensions.

Only watchOS 6 and iOS 13 developer betas are currently available. The final versions will appear in autumn.
