    Speaker meter is available for iOS, don't know if this will suit your requirements, there are others that may be better but you have to pay for them.

    I use “Spectrum” available free from the App Store.

    I also use “Decibel X” for volume measurement.

    For my basic needs these work just fine.

    Hi Guys

    An interesting site I came across is https://www.audiocheck.net/. It’s an application that runs through a browser, there’s even a test to check your browser. It has lots of interesting things including a hearing test, and best of all its all free. I used the hearing test on my iPad, and then when I did it again through the pc wired through the system, I got the same result disite the difference in quality.

    Anyway it’s there to play with.

    Hope it helps
