Sound Level Meter

FUNCTION:

A sound level meter is an instrument planned in response to sound around in the same manner like the human ears and provide objective, reproduced to measurements sound pressure level. There much different sound measuring system available. Even though different in detail, each consisting of a microphone system, the processing and read-out unit.

USER MANUAL:

    Methods for using that the instrument we will be explain in procedures experiment later.

DATA:

    From the instrument, the data that we can obtain is Noise level in a unit dBA and from it, we can get

  permissible time of expose (hour) from OSHA table and effect of noise pressure to human.
