# sound Level
Find out what the the level of sound heard by the microphone is.
```sig
input.soundLevel()
```
## Returns
* a ``number`` between `0` (low sound) and `255` (loud sound) which tells how loud the sounds are that the microphone hears.
## Example
Show a checkerboard icon while the sound level is greater than `100`.
```blocks
basic.forever(function () {
if (input.soundLevel() > 100) {
basic.showIcon(IconNames.Chessboard)
} else {
basic.clearScreen()
}
})
```
