NOISE LEVEL DETECTOR

[Gloria921]

hi everyone, I'm a new host in Hollywood FL, and to be fully operational, the city of Hollywood is requiring I have installed in the property a "NOISE LEVEL DETECTOR" to alert me when guests are making too much noise.  If anyone has any info please share.  thanks

Good afternoon AIRBNB Family, I am a new host in Hollywood Florida.   I need to install a noise level detector inside and outside the home; can  anyone in this community point me in the right direction as there are multiple devices to choose from?

Thanks, 

Best to all,

There are two ways to go, ranging from a cheap, simple hand-held type just to take a fix reading (usually for proof) to the constant monitor types (i.e. by Minut) to monitor from afar (via internet) and  made to order for STRs, it is a monthly fee type though.

A rough reference of noise (measured by DB) is: in the 50's is acceptable (normal conversation), in the 60's it is loud, in the 70s it is annoying and beyond it become unacceptable. Roughly every 7db is doubling of noise. Concerts usually are in the 100+ range and NFL games and some stadiums beyond that, just to give you an idea.

@Fred13 Actually every 3dB is a doubling of perceived noise 

[Fred13]

Yes in sound energy,  but sound pressure level (aka loudness) isn't about 6-7db? However, we both may be a bit off.

----------------------------

When a sound is perceived to double in loudness, this corresponds to roughly an increase in 10 dB.
