Experiment No. Title: Noise Measurement and analysis Aim: To Find Noise Level Using Sound Level Meter.

Procedure:
1. Slide the A/C weighting selectors to A or C position for sound level measurement. 2. Determine proper measuring range by selecting the range selector o minimize the tolerance of readout. When left corner of LCD show indicator it shows the dB range selection is upper or lower setting. Slide range selector to other range for measuring 3. According on various measuring sound source, select the Time Weighting selectors to fast or slow position. 4. Hold the instrument in hand and point the microphone at measured noise source the sound level will be displayed on dB (decibel) unit. MAX Hold during the sound level measurements, if intend to store the maximum (peak) value on display, please slide the Time Weighting/MAX hold selector to MAX Hold position When measure long-term stability under slowly varying noise environment, please use the Max hold function to read maximum values. Slide the selector to Fast or slow position will cancel MAX Hold values.

Measuring Conditions:
1. Please select proper weighting selector (A or C position) A weighting selector will be engaged normally. 2. Please select proper measurements range to minimize the tolerance of readout. 3. Keep microphone dry and avoid serious vibrations.

Specifications:
