SWAREY Decibel Meter, Digital Sound Level Meter Wall Mounted 35dB to 135dB Noise Meter with Recording Alarm for Schools Hospitals Temples Libraries Theaters

The media could not be loaded. I’ve been using this decibel meter around the house and in my workspace for a few weeks now, and it’s been pretty spot-on for checking noise levels. The readings feel accurate—whether I’m testing a quiet room or a louder area, it stays consistent. The size is bigger than I expected, but honestly, that makes the display easier to read from a distance. No complaints so far.The alarm feature is a nice touch. When things get too loud, it actually speaks up with a “quiet please” reminder, which is kinda cool. I like that I can tweak the alarm settings or turn it off completely if I’m just casually monitoring. It’s handy for keeping things chill during meetings or when I need focus time.Setup was a breeze. I love that I can either pop in batteries or plug it in, and it works fine either way. The fact that it can sit on a shelf or mount on the wall is clutch—no need to hold it like some old-school gadget. The screen lights up nicely in darker spots, too, so checking numbers at night isn’t a headache. Plus, the backlight is subtle and easy on the eyes.Overall, it’s been solid for my needs. I’ve used it everywhere from my home office to a friend’s DIY studio, and it adapts without fuss. If you’re looking for something reliable to keep tabs on noise without overcomplicating things, this is a decent pick. Does what it says, no drama.

This machine has changed my professional life. It's absolutely amazing how students react to gadgets and new things around the room. Initially there have been some students that decided to test it and once I agreed to that during a football match, this machine became a reliable tool to monitor noise levels. This is very easy to use and its size is not neglectable either.

I have to say the most noticeable thing about this sound meter is the size. For some reason, the shape and design gives the immediate appearance of small fob device. IN fact it's considerably larger than expected. Not a problem, but this is not something you carry around in your pocket.This is an unusual device. Not really something I would use in the home, unless I wanted to tell the dog to stop barking, if she starts up when I'm away. How would that work? well, I can record my own message that will speak out loud when the ambient sound levels are exceeded, as when my dog barks!Seriously, though, this is really designed for places like a school, religious buildings, or other places when sound levels should be monitored and restricted. The meter can easily be hung on a wall and will register with colours if sound levels increase and at a fixed decibel, will issue a prerecorded statement. eg; Be quiet!IT has primary uses for places where groups of people might create sound levels beyond acceptable limits, like a school. However, I can see the temptation for some children enjoying the chance of setting it off... just for fun. Maybe a library, or Doctors waiting room would be a suitable location.The registering of sound levels is very well thought out, having the colour changes on the face of the readout, as the levels increase are quite useful. It comes with prerecorded voice and message to be quiet, However, the feature I really like is I can record my own message that triggers beyond the set dB level.I'm going to use it as discussed above to tell my dog to stok barking if she gets going when I'm out of the house. Will it work? Well so far my neighbour reports she is barking for less time, so I guess it's been triggered and having some calming effect. Nice unusual device. Think about its use carefully though...

The monitor comes very securely packed in a rather big box. I was surprised at the actual size of the monitor. It is much bigger than I anticipated and quite weighty. It also comes with an electrical lead, a remote control, a little screwdriver to open the battery compartment and crews so you can hang the monitor on the wall. It takes 6 AA Batteries. In addition, you have a manual in five different languages, each one containing 9 pages.I have to be honest, I don’t understand much of the manual, the most important feature is to listen to noise levels made my our dogs and noise from the neighbours upstairs and record the noise levels.After plugging in the device, it started showing decibel highs straight away. It was amazing to see what noise levels are acceptable, when it is quiet and when noise levels are getting to high. The range is quite remarkable, from silent (lo and green) to red, which is 60Db and higher and turns red. When it reaches level 75Db, a voice comes on which says “please be quiet”. The monitor has a recording function, so you can record your noisy neighbours, (which we actually have), and can be used in case of complaints.🐕‍🦺The monitor is very sensitive, and is continually moving up and down with its decibel numbers on display. The display is easy to understand, and you can change the level it gives you a warning, but I left it as it is. I have two dogs, one of which happily barks away. The barking usually reaches the red barrier and then an automatic voice says “please be quiet”. Quite funny how he reacted to the voice. Perhaps I will alter that slightly to include his name.I like this monitor. Although a little big, I do like it a lot.
