Perception of sound

For humans, hearing is normally limited to frequencies between about 12 Hz and

20,000 Hz (20 kHz)[2], although these limits are not definite. The upper limit generally
decreases with age. Other species have a different range of hearing. For example, dogs
can perceive vibrations higher than 20 kHz. As a signal perceived by one of the major
senses, sound is used by many species for detecting danger, navigation, predation, and
communication. Earth's atmosphere, water, and virtually any physical phenomenon, such
as fire, rain, wind, surf, or earthquake, produces (and is characterized by) its unique
sounds.
Many species, such as frogs, birds, marine and terrestrial mammals, have also
developed special organs to produce sound. In some species, these have evolved to
produce song and speech. Furthermore, humans have developed culture and technology
(such as music, telephone and radio) that allows them to generate, record, transmit, and
broadcast sound

Sound Meter Level

The Galaxy CM-130 Check Mate SPL Meter provides instant, accurate dB
readouts when you have to comply with noise codes. The CM-130 sound meter is useful
in the studio to establish critical monitoring levels. 4 level ranges. Includes an electric
condenser microphone.

To measure sound output of our acoustic drum kit, both with and without shield
that built. It works great! it also use to locate 'hot spots' in the worship center when band
is playing through the house system. It will read out bass-weighted dB, overall dB, and
peak dB at the push of a button. It also can choose slow vs. fast sampling to see what an
'average' dB is versus watching the level jump & and down.
