 You get what you pay for. September 5, 2008

This is not a bad item. It will do for some basic measurements. It may do if you think your neighbor's music is louder than it should be. For anything more important, spend a bit more for a more sophisticated instrument.
 Great for the price - does the job June 2, 2008

I purchased this unit to test potentially dangerous noise sources and it performs very well. The criticism that the Max/Min switch makes sufficient noise when depressing that it locks the Max to the sound of the switch is correct. So if you need a Max reading in a quiet environment, this unit is not for you. Otherwise, it works great and I highly recommend...
 Cheap, adequate, some flaws May 7, 2008

First of all, this thing is cheap. Don't know what people expect when it costs so little. Secondly, it measures with a C-weighting. What does that mean? Look it up. I had no problems getting readings as low as 40 dB in a quiet room. One gripe I do have is when trying to get a MAX reading of less than 70dB. Pressing the MAX button causes a click that is heard quite loudly by the microphone and say you are in a room where the ambient noise level is 50dB, pressing the max button automatically reads around 70dB.
Great so far! January 10, 2008

I'm not sure what product some of the other reviewers ended up with, but the SPL1000 I just got says on the front of the package "30 to 130 dB"... I just measured my bedroom and got a reading of about 32 dB, so this product does in fact read well below 60 dB.
I primarily purchased this as a toy, and to see what I was pumping out of my stereos and the loudness of my motorcycle exhaust, and it does the job 100%. I love this little thing
 Not for use on non-loud noises. September 1, 2007

I had hoped to be able to gauge the decibel level in less than raucous situations. But, as Elizabeth points out, this device is useless below 60 decibels: shouting level. It has never given me a reading below 60 in any situation, including a quiet bedroom. If you want to see how quickly your car speakers will deafen you, this device may be useful. For non-loud situations, look for something else.
