OK... just sitting here in front of the TV, I did a quick comparison. I use DB Meter Pro by Performance Audio. I think I paid $1.99 for it. I purchased SPL Meter Pro for $5.99. And of course, I'm comparing them to Dr. Meter Sound Level Meter. Just with the default settings, SPL Meter Pro returned results VERY close to the Dr. Meter... 1 or 2db difference on 55-60db. DB Meter Pro was off by more than 10%, but I was able to calibrate it to match SPL Meter. I have not compared them with louder music yet, so those results will come tomorrow when the wife is at work.[emoji4]

OK... I didn't do the loud music test yesterday... It rained all day. When I start music up on my DJ system, my dogs immediately bolt outside (they have a doggy door), and won't come back inside until I stop. If they went outside yesterday, they would have gotten soaked, then I'd have to towel dry them.[emoji1]
Funny thing is, they don't mind the stereo playing at the exact same volume. I think it stems from one day when I was practicing and I was playing Gnarles Barkley's Crazy with the subs turned up REAL loud. I didn't realize their doggy door was locked and they couldn't get out. Now they bolt every time they see me turn on my DJ system.[emoji1]
Anyway, I'll try to do a comparison with the meters and loud music later today. It's nice outside, so my dogs will likely spend most of the day out there anyway.[emoji4]
