Using It - Making a Noise Measurement

This sound level meter is ideal for most environmental noise measurement, industrial noise surveys, and many other applications such as occupational noise assessments. It can also be switched into Octave or 1/3 Octave Band mode to assess the frequency content of the noise.

The noise measurement process consists of:

  • Checking the meter's calibration. This is important for any measurements that may be used for legal purposes.
  • Making the measurements, either broadband, octave or 1/3 octave band mode.
  • Viewing the noise measurement results.
  • Presenting reports.
