The Apple Watch has a lot of functions that target health and fitness problems, but who would have guessed that they would go all wacky when it comes to indian lifestyle? For the unaware, the Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 4 and later include a Noise app function that allows you to monitor the ambient sound levels in your vicinity using the microphone and length of exposure.

According to Apple, when the watch detects an increase in sound levels that may impair one's hearing, it alerts the user. However, it is virtually hard to eliminate loudness at 'desi' events, as social media users have discussed.
