🔍 What It Tests

Volume

We check signal level. Optimal: -18 to -12 dB. Too quiet — others won't hear you. Too loud — distortions.

Background Noise

We analyze noise during pauses. Good: almost silence. Bad: fans, traffic, people nearby interfere.

Clipping

We check for overload (distortions at peaks). If frequent — reduce microphone volume.

Stability

We analyze how the microphone behaves throughout the test. Volume spikes are a problem.
