Sound Level Meter - Precision in Noise Measurement

How does a sound level meter work?

A sound level meter is an indispensable tool for anyone who works with noise or is in a noisy environment. It measures the sound pressure level and provides information about how loud it is in a particular place. The measurement principle is based on comparing the measured sound pressure with a reference value. The reference value corresponds to the minimum perceptible sound pressure at 1000 Hertz (1 kHz) and is defined as a decibel value of 0 dB.

The instrument consists of a microphone for recording the sound signal and electronic components for processing the signal and displaying the results. The microphone picks up the air pressure vibration in the audible frequency range and converts it into an electrical signal. The electronics inside the device amplify the signal, filter out interfering signals, and finally calculate the level in decibels (dB).

Most modern models have a digital display that allows the current value to be read directly. Sound level meters are often used for checking occupational safety regulations or compliance with legal limits for noise protection measures. Musicians also often use them for sound checks of their instruments or sound systems during a concert.

Measuring sound levels correctly at the workplace: what to look out for

To properly measure sound levels in the workplace, there are some important factors to consider.

• First, it is important that the measurement is taken at a representative location . This means that the measurement point should be in the immediate vicinity of the work area and not, for example, in a separate room or hallway.
• Furthermore, when selecting the measuring device, it is important to ensure that it is suitable for the respective requirements. For example, special microphones should be used for high frequency ranges.
• Another important aspect is the duration of the measurement: in order to obtain meaningful results, this should take place over a longer period of time - ideally at least half an hour up to the entire work shift.
• In addition, the wearing of hearing protection also plays a role in the sound measurement: This can falsify the measured value and thus provide a false picture of the actual noise exposure level. Employees should therefore refrain from wearing hearing protection during such an examination.

All in all, it is therefore important to keep various points in mind in order to carry out a correct sound measurement at the workplace and thus to be able to recognize possible sources of danger at an early stage and to take preventive measures.

Calibrate your sound level meter correctly - this is how!

To ensure that your sound level meter provides accurate measurements, it is important to calibrate it regularly. Incorrect calibration can cause your measurements to be inaccurate and therefore untrustworthy.

• First, check to see if the instrument has an internal or external calibration function. If so, you can use it. Otherwise, you will need to use an external calibration equipment.
• Next, you will need a reference sound pressure level (SPL) generator with a known level value and a microphone with a sensitive range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
• Make sure the microphone is in an anechoic chamber and the SPL generator is set to the desired level.
• Then take the measurement and compare with the known value from the generator. If the deviation between your measured value and the known value is greater than ±0.5 dB, your instrument needs to be recalibrated.
• Repeat this procedure several times to maintain average accuracy.

Regularly checking your sound level meters will help you achieve accurate results on your future projects.
