“Specifications for Sound Level Meters”

"Specifications for Sound Level Meters" are detailed standards that define how these devices should measure and display sound levels accurately. They ensure consistency, reliability, and precision across different instruments, covering aspects such as frequency response (how well they detect different pitches), dynamic range (loudest to quietest sounds they can measure), and weighting (how they emphasize certain sound frequencies). These standards help users trust the readings, whether for environmental noise assessment, occupational safety, or research, by ensuring the sound level meter performs consistently according to established benchmarks.
