Q & A:

We own one of your Tecpel 331 sound level meter data loggers which we used to measure the noise levels in patients rooms. The recording range was set 30-130 dBa, in fast recording mode. We had measurements of 28 dB despite the range of 30-130 dB. Could you please explain how this happen? Our findings will be published in a scientific journal hence we may need to explain this to reviewers.
Your help is much appreciated

Answer: Our design can measure starting from 25 db but 30 dB is the

limit of our published specification. Therefore, it is possible to have 25 ~ 29 dB, if your environment

is quite calm in a closed room.
