We kept getting noise complaints at our bar, this gave us a simple and easy way to ensure we stay with the legal limits.

Works fine so far, but time will tell.I would not purchase this if you are looking for an accurate sound pressure meter, but for a general idea of loudness it functions well. Basically, set it for its slowest setting and then you'll get a gauge for when things are getting too loud. I have it located in my studio so the drummer can see it and maybe lighten up a bit (big maybe, but ya gotta try). The large numbers for time is also helpful in a dimly lit studio, and the temp and humidity is a nice bonus, but I don't rely on them for strict accuracy. Your mileage will vary of course.

I used it to measure the noise from a noisy ceiling fan. I could certainly measure the drop in noise after cleaning the fan. But the noise levels jumped quickly (too quickly to read). Would be nice if it had a feature like one minute average, 3 minute average, etc.It comes with a screw on mic cover as well as a push on foam cover (prevents noise from wind or air). The foam cover dies not really fit in the case we'll do it arrived partially crushed and will stay that way unless you store it outside of the case. That's a long way of saying that it is a poorly designed case.

Seems to work pretty well I use it for dialing in white noise systems.

There are some particular tools that stand out as being essential in the audio world. Function/waveform generators, oscilloscopes, multimeters, and...decibel meters.In terms of cost vs performance, this should definitely be high on your list for consideration. The display may be a bit dated, and it still uses AA batteries (hello, we're in the age of lithium). But a dB meter that does A and C weighting for under $50, I guess I can tolerate having to remove a set of AA rechargeables periodically.I tested it in my car, which pushes close to 114 dB A weighted (and over 130 C weighted) so I'd say that's pretty accurate. I may do further tests with some test tracks to see if I can get higher numbers from a more controlled source than just Sirius radio. I didn't test the limits of the battery life because, well, I can't imagine ever exhausting a set of batteries during a test session. My recommendation is put rechargeables in it and charge em before each use. I do that with everything.This is a fine (if a bit dated in features) meter that does what it's supposed to do. You can't beat having a dB meter capable of A and C weighting for less than $50, and whether you're building an audio test kit for the professional world or just a "sound nut", this is a great tool for the cost.
