Showing Results For: Sound Level Meters
Sound level meters, also known as noise meters, sound meters, or sound pressure level meters, are portable handheld devices that integrate microphones for measuring sound or noise in various settings. These acoustic measurement devices come equipped with digital displays with inbuilt memory for data storage. A sound level meter monitors and quantifies different sound levels and analyse different building acoustics, machinery noise, industrial noise, and community noise.
Sound level meters are significant tools as high noise levels can damage hearing, cause hearing loss, and harm health. The latest models of sound level meters integrate the latest technologies that can be attached to smartphones, while others require connections to different devices. It is crucial to calibrate noise meters for proper functionality and accurate readings.
The basic components of a sound level meter include:
In addition, some sound level meters also have additional features such as data logging capabilities, audio recording, and advanced signal processing options.
Several types or classes of sound level meters are available, each with unique features and applications. Some common and popular types include:
Their specific functions distinguish a sound level meter and a noise dosimeter. A dosimeter or noise dosimeter is a sound level meter type that measures individual or personal noise exposure levels. In contrast, a sound level meter quantifies the noise within the whole environment.
Sound level meters are commonly used in various fields, including:
