ANSI S1.11 (Specification for Sound Level Meters)

ANSI S1.11 is a standard that outlines the specifications for sound level meters, which are devices used to measure sound intensity, or noise levels. This standard ensures that these meters provide accurate and reliable readings. It covers aspects such as frequency response, time weighting, and measurement techniques to ensure consistency across different devices. By adhering to ANSI S1.11, manufacturers can produce meters that meet established quality and performance criteria, ensuring they are effective for various applications like environmental monitoring, workplace safety, and noise control assessments.
