What Is a Sound Level Meter?

A sound level meter is a measuring instrument designed to measure sound levels in a standardised way.

Commonly referred to as a sound meter, noise meter, decibel meter, or sound pressure level (SPL) meter, a sound level meter is designed to respond to sound in approximately the same way as the human ear.

The purpose of a sound level meter is to give objective, reproducible measurements of sound pressure levels (SPL).

How does a sound level meter work?

A sound level meter consists of a microphone, a preamplifier, a signal processing unit, and a display.

The most suitable type of microphone for a sound level meter is a condenser microphone, which combines precision with measurement reliability. The microphone converts the sound signal to an equivalent electrical signal. The electrical signal produced by the microphone is at a very low level and must be enhanced by a preamplifier before reaching the main processor.
