Question: is this really a type 2 sonometer? can it be used for OSHA investigations?
Document: Also, if you are trying to soundproof or quite your house then a meter like this will be crucial to test the success of your efforts.2)  Another very important area to check could be your work. If you have a consistently loud work environment it can seriously damage your health (Headaches, tinnitus, hearing loss, fatigue, etc). For example according to OSHA occupational noise exposure 1910.95, you can only be exposed to 100db for 2 hours per day without hearing protection.
If you are looking at this review, chances are you already know what you need one of these meters for. The most common use is probably measuring workplace noise environments for sound levels, something usually regulated by OSHA or your local equivalent. My use was somewhat different- in combination with test tones, I used it to map the sound response of my media room.=== The Good Stuff ===* The meter is fast, and seems to work well. It comes with (surprise!)
This digital sound level meter is made of plastic but is made of plastic but it's solid and not fragile at all. It runs on a single 9 volt battery that is included with it. It has a medium sized LCD screen on the front along with a variety of different function buttons. To use the sound meter it's really quite simple just push the power button and then decide what type of reading you would like to take. There is a fast / slow button on the front.
The LED digits are 1/2&#34; high, making it fairly easy to read, although there is no backlight. The meter weighs 6.4 ounces with a 9v battery installed. The microphone is located in the top of the meter, so there are no external probes or connections needed. * Measurements are fast- on its fast setting and lowest range, the specs indicate an update every 50ms.
Use for OSHA testing, sound monitoring, hearing safety or for fun. Highly recommended.
First off, JJCEO's review of this is so through and detailed there is really not any more to be said with regard to a review. Everything he says in his review is very accurate and very informative. So watch his video to see how this product handles and functions.With that said, I am going to focus more on why you would want a sound level meter.1) The first and most obvious would be to check sound levels in your house.
Refer to OSHA noise guidelines.6) Noise ordnance violations. Maybe you have neighbors who like to party late into the night especially on weeknights. Maybe you live in an apartment complex with a loud neighbor.
Most communities have an 80 db limit at your property limit: you'll be surprised how high that really is, and that maybe your complaining neighbors just wish they'd learned how to play too! And for any guitarist who gets assailed by band members for playing too loud: most bangin' rock drummers will be peaking out above 110, even near 120, measured right in front of the kit, whereas I've dimed Deluxes and Plexi half-stacks and not hit quite that level.
The DB Power sound level meter is an unassuming device. The design gives the impression of a cheap product that might be found in Harbor Freight. However, it is surprisingly simple to use and does the job well. There aren't many controls, but what is there will probably cover your needs. It measures from 40 to 130 dB and is flexible enough (A and C weighting, fast and slow response) for standard OSHA testing.
As the illustrations show, this meter is about the same size and shape as a small lotion or shampoo bottle with a condenser microphone at the top. I found the instructions to be clear and easy to follow.Whether you want to calibrate speakers, document your complaint about a noisy neighbor, determine if workplace noise levels meet OSHA standards or just satisfy your curiosity this digital sound noise level meter does the job for a very reasonable price.
