Description

It's important to show a visual indicator for users to know whether the recorder is actually capturing sound, and at what level, especially if the sound is peaking, as this would make the recording usable.

Unfortunately, we've been unable to find a library to do this.

Research direction

Start by locating the recorder and audio-capture entry points in the Android app, then investigate suitable libraries or APIs for displaying recording levels and detecting peaking. The issue does not name files, tests, or a specific library, so the work is complete only when the recorder visibly shows capture level and peaking state during recording.
