A and C weighting change the number, not the noise · review
A logging meter storing up to 43,000 readings for export to a PC, with A and C weighting, a three-color LED warning and a DC output for external recording.
What the figures leave us with The one that answers "when", not just "how loud". For an intermittent noise, that is the only useful question.
A meter for noise that does not happen while you are watching.
Measurement from 30 to 130 dB with an accuracy of ± 1.5 dB. A three-color LED warning system — green, yellow and red — for low, medium and high levels. Storage of up to 43,000 readings, viewable on the instrument and on a PC. A and C frequency weighting, fast and slow response modes, and a DC output.
Nearly every real noise complaint is about something intermittent: a heat pump cycling at night, a workshop starting at six, traffic at the school run. Standing there with a meter samples a moment, and the moment is rarely the one that matters. Forty-three thousand records is days of continuous data, which turns an argument about impression into a chart.
An indicative instrument with a large memory. The requirement for a formal measurement — a classified meter, a calibrator used before and after, and someone competent to interpret the result — is unchanged by how much data an instrument can store.

Because most noise problems are intermittent. A handheld reading captures the moment you happened to be standing there; a log captures the night, the working week, the machine cycle. That is the difference between "it was 62 dB when I checked" and a record of when it peaks.
Feeding the instantaneous level to an external recorder or data acquisition system, for setups where the internal logger is not enough.
No. Data volume is not the same as legal standing. A measurement used formally needs a classified meter and a calibrator, whatever it records.

35–130 dB · MAX hold · large backlit display
A 35 to 130 dB handheld meter with a MAX function and a large backlit display. Its title carries the word "geeicht" — a manufacturer claim, reported here as one.
Best for: Household comparisons — before and after a change, one room against another.
30–130 dB · ± 2.0 dB · A and C weighting · fast and slow · 4-digit 0.1 dB
The only meter here offering both A and C weighting, which is what separates a reading that follows human hearing from one that includes low-frequency energy.
Best for: Low-frequency noise — plant, traffic, bass through a wall — that A-weighting under-reports.

30–130 dB · ± 1.5 dB at 94 dB / 1 kHz · A-weighted · fast and slow response
A 30 to 130 dB meter publishing its accuracy with the conditions it applies at — ± 1.5 dB at 94 dB and 1 kHz — with A-weighting and fast and slow response modes.
Best for: Getting a sense of a noise problem, with a figure whose conditions are stated.
