That one website that helps a teacher keep a noisy classroom quiet
Why it's the pick
Put it on the classroom screen and colorful balls bounce higher the louder the room gets, with an optional beep or shush when it passes your limit, so kids quiet down on their own. It's free, needs no account, and uses your computer's microphone in Chrome or Firefox.
