INTRODUCTION
Sound level meters are used for acoustic measurements. It can also be a handheld device. Of
all the types of microphones used, condenser microphones are most suitable for use with
sound level meters because they are stable, accurate and reliable. Decibel (dB) is a measure
of the quantity of sound in the sound level meter used which gives the amount of sound
pressure received by the ear. As mentioned, it is also able to calculate the average sound
exposure level by averaging meter readings over a certain period of time if used in integration
mode or to provide the sound level at a certain time when used in integration mode.

TEST OBJECTIVE
1. To measure the level of noise at the study location which is block B
2. To analyse data and interpret the results of the noise level experiment

PROCEDURES
1. Turn on your sound level meter so it can take noise measurements. Make sure you are
static and horizontal for better records.
2. This tool is held comfortably in the hand or on a stand. The microphone is directed
towards the noise source, the sound pressure level is shown on the meter's LCD
screen.
3. When the mode or maximum volume is selected by pressing the key, the sound level
meter will stop and the maximum noise level reading on the display will remain the
same. If the reading does not stop, press the pause key to get the desired reading.
4. Record the noise level reading and press the same key to clear the reading. Then,
repeat the above steps for the place and time that has been set.

APPARATUS
A sound level meter

DISCUSSIONS
As we know, a sound level meter is a basic tool for measuring sound levels in
different environments. Changes in noise level readings are affected by several factors, due to
which the values do not remain the same number.
Environmental conditions, including wind and temperature, can affect sound
propagation and must be considered. The data collection capabilities of modern noise meters
allow for comprehensive analysis of noise data to help identify noise trends and develop
effective noise mitigation measures. However, by using a noise meter responsibly and
considering the factors affecting noise measurement, we can aspire to a future where noise no
longer threatens our health and well-being.
In short, it can be stated that a sound meter is an invaluable tool for evaluating
sound in various environments. This is very useful in maintaining safe noise levels and
promotes the general well-being of people and communities. Correct use and understanding
of these meters are essential for accurate noise measurement and effective noise control.
