When baby girl cries, Apple Watch warns dad of ‘loud environment’ and ‘hearing loss’
A father’s Apple Watch’s response to his crying baby girl is going viral on Reddit.
Smartwatches are great for tracking steps, quality of sleep and a slew of other personal metrics. The Apple Watch uses the Noise app to measure sound levels throughout the day.

According to Apple, “If the average sound level over three minutes reaches or exceeds a chosen decibel threshold, your Apple Watch can notify you.” The feature came somewhat in handy when one dad on Reddit was looking after his crying baby. He shared a photo of a notification he received from the Noise app.
The image showed the father’s Apple Watch on his wrist in the forefront, with his baby girl mid-cry in the background.
“Loud environment. Sound levels hit 90 decibels. Around 30 minutes at this level can cause temporary hearing loss,” the watch said.
“Thanks, Apple. I’ll let her know,” the father wrote in the caption.

The hilarious juxtaposition in the picture received over 176,000 upvotes on Reddit.
“Look on the bright side. In 30 minutes, it’ll seem quieter!” a user joked.
“At one point, our baby’s cries were so loud and shrill that they set off our alarm’s glass break sensor,” someone shared.
“I always held my babies in my left arm so I could do things with my right hand (like prepare whatever they needed to stop crying). As a result, I can’t hear well on that side. If I’m ever in the passenger seat of a car, I have to turn to face the driver to hear them,” a person commented.
“As someone with a 3-week-old and an Apple Watch, I feel this in my soul,” another said.
