Noise meters
Here  you will find noise meters that meet industrial standards. These portable noise meters allows for rapid control of a situation to be taken but also for test measurements over entire shifts, and there are different noise meters for distinct frequencies. These noise meters to measure general noise or background noise are gaining importance across all areas, in particular on the spot measurements in offices and in the street. Measuring noise is an integral part of measuring environmental conditions, most particularly in the private sector. Noise meters are often noise problems between neighbors or when a restaurant or bar is produces lots of noise after 22:00 at a time when regulations stipulate that noise levels be reduced. Some of these class I and II noise meters can take measurements that can be presented in court as evidence. There are also accessories available, such as a microphone extension cord (except for the PCE-999), tripods, calibrators and DIN ISO calibration certificates for all our models. If you require more information, you can view our page outlining typical illumination standards or if you don't find the noise meters you are looking for, please contact us and we will help you find the best solution to suit your needs by calling our offices on: +44 ( 0 ) 191 377 3398 and our technical staff will advise you regarding our products.

Technical specifications for our noise meters can be found at the following links:

- PCE-EM882 series noise meters
  (includes sound, light, temperature and humidity sensors)

- PCE-999 series noise meters 
  (Standard industrial device, accurate to ±1.5dB, calibrated)

- PCE-318 series noise meters
  (measures from 26dB, accurate to ±1.5dB, analogue output)

- PCE-322 A series noise meters 
  (similar to the PCE-999 but with internal memory)

- PCE-353 series noise meters 
  (similar to the PCE-322A, with Leq function) 

- PCE-DSA 50 series noise meters 
  (class 1 device with 1:1 and 1:3 octave filters, measures in real time) 

- PCE-355 series noise meters 
  (for the detection of sound bursts at the workplace)

All noise meters can come accompanied with a microphone extension, a sound calibrator and an ISO calibration certificate. Noise meter come calibrated from the manufacturer. Over time, the sensors lose accuracy and this is why they need to be recalibrated on a regular basis. You can do your own calibration using the sound calibrator device or you can return the meter to us to have it calibrated in our laboratory and you will receive a test certificate.

Below are some images of different noise meters being used in situ. The image to the left shows a device measuring noise levels in an office. The image in the centre shows a device using a data logger in a cutting machine and the image to the right shows a noise meter on top of a tripod to allow for measurements to be taken over an extended period of time on a motorway.
