Sound Level Meter

A Sound Level Meter (SLM) is a device used to measure sound intensity or loudness in decibels (dB). It captures sounds from the environment, providing readings that help assess noise levels in various settings, such as workplaces, concerts, or public spaces. The SLM typically has a microphone that detects sound waves and converts them into electrical signals, which are then processed to give a numerical value indicating how loud the sound is. This tool is essential for ensuring compliance with noise regulations and protecting hearing health in noisy environments.
