I need to record sound levels which usually range from 70-100db but could get up to 110. The sound is fairly constant and continuously varies in this range. I need to be able to record the meter levels some how. If the sound levels go beyond the 70-100db range and I had to choose one side of the spectrum to focus on, it would be the 100-110 range as the higher levels are more important to record. So, even though maybe 1% (or less) may be above 100db, it may be the most important data collected.
(I actually only need 2-3 devices capable of higher db ranges of 110db)
I have seen a number of meters and schematics that record 70-120 but they have a selector knob with 10db increments. This won't work when doing continuous auto-sensing/recording.
As for recording, I think taking a measurement of 1-4 times a second would be ideal if possible.
I'm trying to find out if these meters can be made as, ideally, I would need 5 to do the proper research I need for this project.
Does anyone know if it is possible to make a meter that will have the range needed and what is the best method for recording the data from something like this?
