While you’re walking around and immersed in music on your iPhone using earphones, you could end up with being run over by a truck the next few minutes. As playing loud music using headphones, usually blocks all the background or outside noises, so you will not be aware of some dangers could be coming your way.
In order to stay aware of the surrounding noise, you just need to have the Awareness app for your iPhone. The Awareness app shows you an on-screen meter which shows the noise levels of the surrounding. The Awareness app works with the microphone of your iPhone, which tracks the ambient noise levels and feeds them to the meter.
The app is able to measure surrounding noise and set a default level for the environment you’re in. If the surrounding noise exceeds the allowed level, e.g. a car horn, the application will let the noise through the earphones so you can hear the external noise.
So, if you’re one of those crazy for music on your iPhone or iPod Touch, you should grab the app from iTunes now, which costs only $5. And it’ll save your life!
