Microphone test: questions and answers

Is my microphone audio sent anywhere?

No. The browser analyses the audio on your device, and the test recording is kept in the page until you download it or leave. AltFTool does not receive it.

The meter moves but people say I sound quiet. Why?

The meter shows what the browser receives. Calling apps often apply their own gain and noise suppression, so also check the input level in the app and in your operating system's sound settings.
