Hand-Held Sound Level Meter,V-Resourcing 30~130 dB Decibel Noise Measurement Tester with Backlight Digital LCD Display for Indoor/Outdoor Uses [Max/Min/Hold Function]

Wow! I didn’t expect this thing to be much more than a typical decibel meter. And well, they are, but soooOooo sensitive!I purchased these to help with paranormal investigation. I wanted something pretty sensitive to be able to visually see when an EVP is happening. Just a crazy thought I had.I unpack it, put the batteries in, and crank-er-up!I turned everything off in my apartment to ensure I had no noise. I live right off the main highway going by, so I still have a little noise. But it levels out and stays fairly static. It only goes down to 30db anyway. Low enough pressure to not detect without good hearing and remaining completely quiet. So it sat at around 43db with the hwy.I set it across the room (about 20 feet away), and start making soft noises: • I lightly clapped: it almost peaked! • I snap my fingers: same. • I quietly hum: easily controls the level. • Drop a paper clip (small one): peaks again!The thing picks up every little noise no matter how soft! So I wanted to test the limits of the device. I put my index finger to my thumb and lightly rub them together…The thing picked even THAT up!!! Holy Cow!!I’m fairly confident if I have any EVP’s happening in an investigation, it’s going to pick it up!It’s built just like the orange and black EMF Detectors. Plastic, but sturdy enough to handle much abuse. I wouldn’t test that however, as the mic on top could break off fairly easily I imagine.Great purchase! I’m extremely happy with it and highly recommend it for whatever need you may have.K.C.

Haven't tested to see how accurate, but it's fun to play with

Works great for what I’m using it for. Which is measuring subwoofer sound level.

Worked well for the job. Easy to use

It worked but would not zone in or calibrate for hertz.

It incorporates many different options, they work great letting you to test many times and review results. Very good for comparing results.

This little tool is very accurate and useful. I use it on my job to determine noise levels of complaints received from citizens.

This is a nice little gadget to add to your tool collection, if you ever have a situation where you hear a noise like a ticking ,tapping or maybe a humming sound etc.... go to the general area and move the sound detector and watch the numbers increase as you get closer to the noise. I had a very slight humming noise when I would turn on my kitchen led high hat's and dimmed them . I ended up changing the dimmer switch 3 times to only waste time and money. After that being frustrated, I got an idea to check the high hats one by one with this tool and to my amazement I found that one of the high hats was making that annoying noise. three of the high hats showed about 35 decibels and the last high hat showed 52 . I replaced the high hat and no more hum....I highly recommend this tool.....

The media could not be loaded.  Best value and works well.

Seems to work. One nit to pick is the foam mic cover is shipped uninstalled and when you do install it, the unit become slightly too long to put back into its box. I just want to take it out, use it for a bit, and put it back in the box for storage. I don't want to disassemble it each time.

Il mesure bien le bruit et très facile à utiliser

À ce prix, ce n'est évidemment pas un appareil professionnel, je voulais juste avoir une idée du bruit ou des autres sons environnants; musique, bruit des yachts qui passent sur la rivière, climatiseur ...

This product is really nice and super sensitive when it comes to speaking or music, but it doesn’t capture noise made from thumping or vibration too well. To counter this, I rest it on the surface that’s bing thumped or vibrated, and measure the noise that comes from the device being shaken against the surface
