In Reply to: Your 'free' smartphone soundmeter.. What dB YOU listen at? posted by 3+4=5 on February 3, 2017 at 17:21:12:
Reality -
See attached B&K 2270 accurate sound measurements in my listening room playing Frampton and measuring 1 second intervals with Fast Max and Minimums, Slow Max and Peak levels for each second. OK this was LOUD - but still not at typical concert levels I have measured recently. These measurements are "Unweighted" not A-weighted - the A-weighted values were 5-10 dB less (also measured simultaneously.
I was pushing close to 1000 Watt peaks into the MMG's
A few points. You just can't say how many dB without saying the measurement frequency weighting and detector type.
