Sound Level Meter

Weighting

The system whereby a sound level meter
differentiates decibel levels from among three frequency groups -
high, middle and low.

A Weighting

Weighting that attenuates lower frequencies to approximate the response
of the human ear.

 B Weighting

Gives combined decibel readings of
 high-frequency and mid frequency noise levels. Use in conjunction with A weighting to isolate the sounds that are causing a problem.

 C Weighting

Reads all frequencies the same but gives a better response to higher frequencies than do A or B weightings. Use to pinpoint problems when A or B weighted scale readings are very high.
