I'm in a situation where I need an accurate low cost decibel meter, not an app. I've taken a look on the net and see the range from $15 to several thousand and I'm not sure which one to purchase (under $60).
I'll be using it to measure environmental sounds both inside and outside, as we have a concert venue right next to our property. Ideally it will have max/min holds, averages, no auto shutoff (or at least one that can be overridden) and can log the data for later uploading.
Googling "decibel meter reviews" helped some, but as I have never used one (other than an app), I would appreciate some professional advice from people who aren't trying to sell me their product.
