The Model 14 Digital Noise Meter is ideal for quick spot checks, installation testing, and basic noise surveys. It’s particularly useful for fire alarm and audible warning system testing, where the Max Hold function makes it easy to capture the loudest sound level during a test.
Workplace Noise
In workplace environments, the Model 14 provides a fast and reliable way to check machinery or process noise levels without the complexity of a full occupational noise assessment. It helps identify areas where noise may approach action levels so that further measurements or controls can be planned using more advanced equipment.
Environmental Noise
The Model 14 Digital Noise Meter is ideal for basic environmental noise checks and general nuisance investigations. With its wide measurement range starting at 35 dB(A), it’s suitable for checking background noise and assessing common environmental noise sources, such as road traffic, passing trains, and general activity in the surrounding area.
Classroom Noise
In educational settings, the Model 14 enables staff to quickly and easily monitor noise levels. It’s ideal for identifying classrooms or areas where noise may interfere with concentration or teaching, helping schools take practical steps to create calmer learning environments.
Construction Noise
On construction sites, the Model 14 Digital Noise Meter offers a simple way to check that equipment, tools, or activities remain within acceptable limits. Its portability makes it ideal for supervisors who need to conduct regular spot checks and monitor noise levels across the site.
Hospital Noise
The Model 14 can help teams in hospitals and healthcare settings identify sources of unwanted noise that may affect patient recovery or staff wellbeing. It’s ideal for quick checks around wards and corridors, helping ensure that noise levels remain comfortable and within recommended limits.
Office and Call Centre Noise
In offices and call centres, the Model 14 Digital Noise Meter provides an easy way to assess background and equipment noise. Highlighting problem areas where sound levels are too high for effective communication supports a healthier, more productive workspace.
Vehicle Noise
The Model 14 is perfect for basic vehicle noise checks. It can be used to verify the sound output of engines, exhaust systems, or other components during maintenance or inspection, helping confirm that noise levels remain within acceptable limits.
Hertfordshire Fire & Rescue Service –
I contacted Pulsar Instruments last year because I needed a simple sound level meter for basic noise monitoring and sampling and they guided me to the Pulsar Model 14 digital sound level meter. This meter is perfect for measuring the noise level of fire alarms and as a point and shoot meter to ascertain any potential noise issues. Pulsar customer services were very prompt and helpful and have recently recalibrated the instrument for me and within a week I got it returned.

We wanted a simple point and press noise meter that anyone in our office could use for testing the alarm noise on our fire alarms etc. The model 14 is just that. There are no complicated or confusing buttons so you can’t go wrong.
