Great value sound meter

The meter feels very quality made in the hand with a backlit screen being very helpful when it's dark. The refresh rate is a few times a second that is good enough for any thing you would need it for. The min and Max feature is really helpful and is definitely a plus. The meter also seems to be accurate. I would definitely recommend this.

Great sound meter for the money.

This is a sound meter that measures how loud the ambient noises are. I have used this at least ounce a week in my shop class room over the past two (2) months and have no idea why I didn’t buy this tool sooner. Build Quality: The build quality is VERY nice. Although it is plastic, it has a very solid feel to it and ergonomic design and feel. Ease of use: This meter has a good size display therefore it is very easy to read.You might have to read the manual to understand everything it does but for the most part it is easy to figure out. It has the power button, hold button and a Min/Max button. The nice thing about this feature is that when you are in an environment such as a shop or shop class full of high school students like I am, it is nice to know that I am not running any equipment that harm their hearing. I use it in my auto shop class and knowing that the sound levels are not too loud is reassuring when a parent complains that the engines are damaging the kids hearing. Overall: I wish I had this sooner as it is very helpful in my situation. Anyone that is in an environment where there is many noises at different levels, this is a great tool to have available to them. Pros: 1. Nice feel. 2. Seems to be accurate. 3. Easy to use. 4. Able to record the highest level. Cons: 1. None!!!

Fun for car audio!!!

This is a fun little device!!!! My friends and I are huge into car audio systems and we are always trying to purchase newer, bigger speakers and amplifiers!! We usually only judge which car sounds best by listening to them by ear but not anymore!! This this little fun decibel meter is now the judge!! This device can easily listen to noise and let you know the sound levels. The device and nice and small and can easily fit in your pocket. It has a well lit LCD display so you can use this in the dark! It comes with 3 AAA batteries which help power the device for prolong usage. I used placed this in the trunk of my car, turned the music up, and powered both of my 15 inch subwoofers and the device quickly started working!! GREAT DEVICE!!

Great for protecting your hearing.

This Sound Level meter is great for checking sound levels and listening volumes to prevent hearing damage. I do a lot of music listening and a sound level meter is a vital tool to keep on hand to make sure you're listening at safe volumes. Prolonged exposure to high levels can easily cause tinnitus and other damage. This Meterk meter is pretty accurate and gave readings that were within 0.2 of my other sound level meter. The display is large and the numbers are easily readable, there is also a back-light for usage in dark environments. It takes 3 AAA batteries which are included, I'm using rechargeable NiMH batteries without issue. Use is straightforward with MAX/MIN and HOLD buttons, the manual also provides instructions if necessary. The plastic is sturdy and seems strong enough for frequent, non-abusive use. There is also a mounting hole on the back for use with tripods. I'm very happy with this device so far, don't underestimate the damage that high volumes can cause!

Keeps my rig under control

I mounted it on my music stand to help me keep my volume to, shall we say “allowable limits”.

Accurate General Purpose Meter. A Great Value.

The Meterk Sound Level meter is a good basic measuring instrument for general purpose use. This model is spec'd as having a measurement range of 30 to 130 dBA with an accuracy of +/- 1.5 dBA. The usable frequency range is 31.5Hz to 8.5kHz. The meter itself has a large LCD display with big 1" digits and a white backlight that can easily be switched on or off independently from the meter's power. The meter automatically holds the softest (min) and loudest (max) readings. These can be recalled or reset at any time using the min/max button. There is also a hold button which freezes the display reading at the moment the button is pressed. The meter has no audio output of any kind. There is a standard threaded mount for a tripod on the back. The unit is powered by 3 AAA batteries (supplied). The meter was very easy to use. The display refreshes about every 1/3 second, so it's relatively easy to see if something is getting progressively louder or softer. I appreciated the min/max feature that's constantly monitoring the sound and can be easily reset at any time. It fits easily in the hand and I found it excellent for general purpose sound level measurements. Overall, it's a great buy.

Like that you can set for max / min hold

Works well for me to compare road noises of different cars I am thinking of buying. I set it on a 2" foam pad and center it on the dashes and take the same 2-mile road trip with RxR crossings, cobblestone road, gravel and some potholes and compare levels through all the sections.

Great toy and tool for videography and games

I bought this sound level meter for 2 things: videography and games. Videography: I use it regularly to measure how loud the ambient sound is so I could adjust my input levels. This helps save some time in post-production by ensuring all sound is recorded at similar levels. Games: Kids love seeing whether they can sneak past the sound meter to get to the cookies I had set at the end of the room. This allows them to be imaginary ninjas and learning to be as quiet as possible. Whenever someone makes too loud of a noise, the kids laugh, and he or she would have to start over. Who said that sound meters must only be used for work? :) What I really appreciate the most is that the bottom has a tripod mount hole, allowing me to angle the meter at any angle possible using my Manfrotto tripod. This also allows me to work hands-free by freeing my hands to operate the video camera instead. If you found this review helpful, please hit the "Yes" button to encourage me to write more.

An Inexpensive way to determain your noise levels. Ergonomically designed Easy to use Great for general use

I really liked this product Easy to use ergonomically designed. You can lock in your results I am not a professional in the video and audio field but, I thought it would be an economical way to determine the noise output on many things we come in contact daily. The human ear can detect from approx 0- 140 decibels most can really detect 30dcb- 130 decibels comfortably. With that as my reference I was able to determine how much noise one would encounter. I have 3 young kids, a young dog, 2 active Chinese gerbils and a mother who's hearing is going. Perfect specimens! I did check my meter at 2 am and got a low reading of 32 ( we still have radiator pipes and small appliances like clocks and timers it might pick up ) on an average day I found it was accurate in checking noise from TV and Ipads blasting, Old washing machine running to newer appliances that had lower ratings (quieter running). My Mom s TV was at 120! (and now I had the proof!). I had become a great tool and helping to be aware of how loud some things get and how it can help in the long term protect our and young children hearing. It was a good device to check basic stuff.
