i don't really like the word "loudness" here in the UI - but can't think of a better term.

- don't want to use "volume" because i don't want to conflate the concepts "how loud the sound you are hearing right now is" and "the number your operating system uses to multiply audio signal values", as it's already confusing.

- don't want to use "amplitude" as it's a dorky word that might not be obvious to normal people

maybe "audio level" would be better? or is that too ambiguous?

i made this mainly because i've been playing counter strike for a while now, and you need to have the volume up in order to hear footsteps, but then when there's a awp gunshot my ears start ringing. since using this app a couple days ago it it's a lot better. hopefully could stop people getting tinnitus/hearing damage

working on a little windows app that puts a cap on loud noises. will be free + open source

it works by examining the current audio data being played and if it is above some threshold, it automatically turns the system volume down before the user actually hears it.

need some ideas for a name. considering "volimit" (which gets across the volume-limiting purpose, but sounds too much like vomit) or "mufflr" (sounds more like a real product, but it doesn't really "muffle").
