Seems all the decibel meters I can find for sale only go to 130 dB (though if they're digital, the display only goes to 129).
Anyone know where to get relatively cheap meters that go higher?
Funny Story>>>
Last time I bought a meter was from Radio Shack last year. I actually had to explain what a dB meter was, he looked and said 'no we don't carry that'. I said 'dude, I checked your website and it says you have 2'. So he found it and then asked if I needed batteries. Wasn't sure I had any 9-Volt batteries so I said 'Okay'. He opens the meter and reads the manual for about 4 minutes, and finally says ...... "okay, you're gonna need nine of the V size batteries". I. Nearly. Fell. On. The. Floor. But I kept a straight face and said "okay do you have 9 of those?". He turns around to the batteries behind him and picks out a 10-pack of 9V batteries ... and proudly exclaims "you'll even have 1 left over!" My eyes kept bouncing between the tiny meter fitting in the palm of one hand, and his other hand with a foot long row of batteries ... took him a full 30 seconds and then says ... "no wait, lemme read the instructions again". I whipped out my Radio Shack Battery Club Card and insisted the 10th battery should be free, but he said he'd never seen one of those, and we finally settled on a single 9V battery.
