Decibel Meter Digital Sound Level Meter MESTKE 30 – 130 dB Noise Volume Measuring Instrument Reader Self-Calibrated Max Min Data Hold Fast/Slow Mode LCD Backlight Display/Flashlight Gift

This meter is feature-filled and versatile. I would have given it 5 Stars except for the directions.Some of them were hard to follow. Clarity often suffers when technical details are translated from one language to another. I had some trouble accessing all of the meter's features until I brought in an Electrical Engineer friend who knew all about sound level meters. He knew how to make the device sing without even reading the directions.After his explanations, I really got to like the meter.It would be cool if MESTKE would post a tutorial on YouTube or their own site.That would generate more 5 Stars for this deserving METER.

Note that even though the description says "Measurement Unit: dBA / dBC", this SPL meter can only measure dBA. I returned it immediately.

I needed and wanted to measure generator sound levels. My neighbor used his cell phone and he barely knows where the microphone is on the phone! So, to do it right, i wanted a low cost and simple reader than gives min/max and immediate data. This one is perfect. I want to take it now to places that claim they don't place music too loud (church, restuarant, neighbors, sport games). We don't realize that we are constantly around loud noise and people that make the noise don't care. Need some data. Enjoy.

Does not function as advertised: Printed my return label within an hour of receiving.- Does not measure "Sones"- Does not measure humidity %- Does not have auto power-off- Does not have back-light.

This has a quality feel and has great functions such as Max and Min decibel levels; realtime decibel levels; hold (freezes the last realtime decibel level it read); temperature (both F and C); and backlight. Takes 3 AAA batteries.

I was finally able to get around to trying this. It was easy to use right out of the box. Accuracy is truly unknown by me, but it must be pretty close. Now I know how loud my old shop vac is, 91 db! Yikes!

Quick delivery. Product appears to be of good quality.

Simple to operate and the temperature reading was a surprise.
