Decibel Meter, Tadeto Digital Sound Level Meter Portable SPL Meter 30dB to 130dB MAX Data Hold with LCD Display Backlight A/C Weighted for Home Factories

If you've ever had a recurring noise complaint, you may have tried to use a db meter on your cellphone. What I quickly found out is that the city doesn't really take db apps on your phone seriously. But once you get a professional db meter then everything changes. It's no longer a debate about IF there is loud noise, it just moves on to how to fix it. Highly recommended!

Pretty nice tool works good and gives an idea to noise levels for a descent price

Read all reviews and picked this sound meter.Works great Very accurate for a very cheep price.

This Tadeto Decibel Meter has been both a blessing and a curse in my quest to monitor noise levels... I get bunch of complaints as an audio engineer with my mix being too loud.. Anyways, its easy, its stupid, and it works! It measures the level not perfectly, but its good enoguh to get a general sense of the reading of the room. If you want something ACTUALLY accureate you would get a measurement microphone and use an actual software.. But this works for what it is, the battery lasts actually quite long. I have been using it for a month now, and I am still using the ORIGINAL batteries... so for what it is its worth it.

I can't verify the accuracy, but it seems to work well and the price was right

Good brightness, and very easy to use. It’s better than the app on my phone!

I bought this alongside two other meters to compare. Build is decent and the big windscreen helps with handling noise. Buttons are simple (A/C, FAST/SLOW, MAX). Accuracy is where it lost me. At ~85 dB the other two meters read ~84.8–85 dB while this one sat around 78–79 dB. Then at higher levels (~102–104 dB) it jumped high and showed ~107 dB. So it’s not consistently off by a fixed amount—it’s variable across the range. If you just want a rough “loud vs. not loud” check, it’s fine. For anything near a compliance threshold, I wouldn’t rely on it unless you have a calibrator and can verify it first. Nice screen, easy to use, but the readings kept me from trusting it.

I have been blessed to be in a position to write insightful reviews of all types of products. Many of the products that I’ve reviewed are power tools, headphones, airguns, and other things that have noise levels that may or may not affect its marketability. Besides the functioning, appearance, construction, usability, cost, convenience and other factors, when I think it’s appropriate, I will use the decibel meter to get a few decibel readings. For some consumers, the amount of noise made by certain products is irrelevant to them, while others, maybe due to sensitivity to noises, common courtesy, or HOA regulations, need to take into consideration how much noise a certain product makes. I have access to a much more expensive decibel meter and have tested them side by side, and the readings were almost exactly the same, plus or minus 1 decibel, and that’s plenty accurate enough for my use.

I run a mobile DJ business and picked this up to keep an eye on sound levels during events and setups. It’s simple to use, lightweight, and easy to read, which is exactly what I wanted. The display is clear with a useful backlight, and the max hold feature makes it easy to check peak levels without constantly watching the screen. It gives consistent readings and is great for getting a quick SPL reference when dialing in volume. It’s small enough to throw in a gear bag and doesn’t require any complicated setup. For general monitoring at events, rehearsals, or testing spaces, this has been a solid and reliable tool.

Ce petit sonomètre fait bien le boulot. Attention à tous les commentaires se plaignant que l'appareil indique 30 ou 40db dans des environnements silencieux... C'est tout simplement normal... Il suffit de se renseigner un minimum sur l'unité qu'est le db (et le db(A) au passage) pour comprendre un peu comment fonctionne l'acoustique et que ces valeurs ne sont pas linéaires. Il n'est sans doute pas aussi précis qu'un appareil professionnel mais est ce là son but ? Clairement Non ! Et les résultats qu'il renvoi semble parfaitement cohérents. Sa simplicité, son efficacité et son bas prix en font un petit accessoire recommandable !

This sounds meter works very well and will help me record neighbour nuisance so our housing management can deal with them. The vendor needs another 5 stars for including a very small screwdriver to open the battery compartment. No one has ever done that before. The meter also comes with a soft cloth carrying case and a printed instruction booklet. Perfect!

good price and quality

Una buena compra es bastante fino y se ajusta mucho
