Digital Decibel Meter

I bought this to do loudest bike competitions. I can not say if it is accurately reading the exhaust or not, but I can say it seems generally accurate and works as expected. The screen lights up so I can easily have someone stand behind me and see for fairness at my events. Its easy to turn on and use. Comes with a nice little case. Mic cover flies off when you get too much air blowing at it but I can't be mad at that. They are revving Harley's with it 4 inches from the exhaust so I'll take it.

Works great, the size, accuracy, readability, made this a great choice for bringing along for work assessments. Only thing is the black foam top comes off too easily. A bit of glue hold it from popping off.

Read all reviews and picked this sound meter.Works great Very accurate for a very cheep price.

Works great. Easy tool to use. I got this because I had a hearing loss & my Tinnitus increased a lot, & resultantly I had had sensitive hearing. I wanted to understand how loud things were around me.

This handy sound meter is exactly what I needed for comparing the noise levels during my reviews of handheld and tabletop fans. It’s inexpensive, compact, and simple to use. The Max function captures and holds the peak reading, which is perfect for how I test fan noise. Yes, my iPhone also has decibel‑meter apps, but I trust a dedicated measurement device more. I also need my phone free to record video during my sound testing and for my reviews. When I recently reviewed three handheld fans, this meter made it easy to capture and compare their peak sound levels (see movie). The big 4" fan was the quietest, by far, but it also pushes the least amount of air (I also quantified their max wind speeds using an anemometer).

I recently moved into a condo that is a second floor. My downstairs neighbors came upstairs at 6pm to complain about noise (I have 6 kids) I bought this to measure noise levels to make sure it’s within normal numbers . Works great

This unit is cheap, but so are the batteries, case, and included little screwdriver. My biggest gripe is that the battery door tiny black screw isn't held captive and the door itself has zero clips to hold it in place so if you lose the screw, you're going to have to duck tape the battery door on. The backlight is always on but the unit has a 10 minute auto off that can be temporarily disabled. Accuracy may be suspect but it should be good enough for relative measurements as the 'max' function appears to work well other than the fact you have to cycle power to reset it. All that said, I'd still say it's worth the price for the features it has.

This thing is great. Saved me a lot of grief by having data to respond to complaints

Buen Producto, buen precio y gran calidad. Cumple su función perfectamente.

I run a mobile DJ business and picked this up to keep an eye on sound levels during events and setups. It’s simple to use, lightweight, and easy to read, which is exactly what I wanted. The display is clear with a useful backlight, and the max hold feature makes it easy to check peak levels without constantly watching the screen. It gives consistent readings and is great for getting a quick SPL reference when dialing in volume. It’s small enough to throw in a gear bag and doesn’t require any complicated setup. For general monitoring at events, rehearsals, or testing spaces, this has been a solid and reliable tool.

Ce petit sonomètre fait bien le boulot. Attention à tous les commentaires se plaignant que l'appareil indique 30 ou 40db dans des environnements silencieux... C'est tout simplement normal... Il suffit de se renseigner un minimum sur l'unité qu'est le db (et le db(A) au passage) pour comprendre un peu comment fonctionne l'acoustique et que ces valeurs ne sont pas linéaires. Il n'est sans doute pas aussi précis qu'un appareil professionnel mais est ce là son but ? Clairement Non ! Et les résultats qu'il renvoi semble parfaitement cohérents. Sa simplicité, son efficacité et son bas prix en font un petit accessoire recommandable !

good price and quality

Does it job, seems accurate
