# Sound Metering Component

## Overview

> ## **Camera Zoom Feature**

The **Sound Metering Component** is a powerful and versatile Actor Component designed to revolutionize how you measure and visualize sound within your projects. This ready-to-use component leverages a custom algorithm to accurately calculate sound levels based on direction, range, and emitter strength, providing a comprehensive solution for dynamic audio environments.

> ## **Custom** Sound Metering Component

The **Sound Metering Component** employs a sophisticated algorithm to directionally measure sound levels from other actors that implement the "Do Sound" Blueprint Interface. This ensures precise and reliable sound metering tailored to your specific needs.

**Multiple Custom Parameters**:

* **Range**: Define the effective range within which the component measures sound, allowing for fine-tuned control over the detection area.
* **Sensitivity**: Adjust the sensitivity of the sound metering to capture varying intensities of audio signals.
* **Location**: Specify the location parameters to accurately position the sound metering within your scene.
* **Update Time**: Set the frequency at which the sound levels are updated, ensuring real-time responsiveness.
* **Random Sound Level for Background Noise**: Introduce variability in background noise levels to simulate more realistic audio environments.

> ## **Easy Customization**

The component includes a user-friendly widget, featuring a 20-level sound visualization range. This widget allows for intuitive monitoring of sound levels, with each level customizable through a color gradient to enhance visual clarity and aesthetic appeal.

> ## [**Demo level included**](https://multicore-games.itch.io/sound-metering-component)

The demo level includes examples of all features of the **Sound Metering Component**, each with interactive examples and use cases!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://multicore-games.gitbook.io/sound-metering-component-or-ue5-documentation/sound-metering-component.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
