In Reply to: Where can I get an SPL meter that works? posted by PaulF70 on March 20, 2025 at 18:56:10:
How accurate do you need to be?
If you do a search you will find consensus that the NIOSH app on iPhone is within 1-3 dB(A) variance from a calibrated professional meter. Was the cheapo Radio Shack meter any better than that?
+/- 3dB certainly is an audible difference. But if you are comparing two different sound sources, the difference is relative and may be insignificant.
Depends on what you are trying to measure and why.
. . . in theory, practice and theory are the same; in practice, they are different . . .
