Sound Lock: Prevent Hearing Loss with Adjustable Volume Limitation

A free program helping prevent hearing loss from loud audio by setting safe volume limits for various applications.

What is Sound Lock?

Sound Lock is a free and open-source volume limiter software for Windows. It helps prevent hearing loss from loud computer audio by letting you limit the maximum volume other applications can produce.

Sound Lock sits in the background and monitors the audio output volume from programs like media players, web browsers, games, VOIP calls, etc. When the volume goes above the safe threshold you defined, Sound Lock will automatically decrease the master volume to keep things at a hearing-safe level.

Key features include:

• Set a custom maximum volume level for your system audio
• Prevents loud volumes that can damage hearing
• Works with most Windows applications and devices
• Lightweight program with minimal CPU/RAM usage

Sound Lock is useful for anyone who listens to music, watches movies, plays games, or uses communication programs on their computer. It helps you avoid sudden volume spikes that can hurt your hearing over time. Gamers and headset users especially may benefit from Sound Lock to listen safely for longer periods.

As an open-source program, Sound Lock is free to use with no ads or unwanted toolbars. It works on Windows XP through Windows 10. Overall, Sound Lock is a simple but effective volume limiter to prevent hearing loss from loud computer audio.
