can this meter detect ultrasonic sound level?

Hi Ed: this product doesn't detect ultrasonic sound. It strictly picks up decibel levels. I purchased this meter for my son to perform his sound meter experiment. As a result, we were able to acquire a reading for a fire engine at 130 decibels. I hope this helps. Tuan

I purchased it to monitor sound levels at dances, so I could not answer you question.

I have not had any problems with the meter, I am not sure what you are wanting to check the frequency of, but I use it on HVAC equipment and check frequency once in a while and it works for checking that.

The meter increased with 10-15 db when I tryed it with Sound Meter, so yes I think so. But I can certainly recommend the Audio Tool app if you want a more accurate measurement. The microphone package includes a unique code that allows one to download a calibration file with which you can add to the app to make it more accurate.

Yes, or any other of the jacks that you might have. That's all I did and it works just fine. I don't like the volume thing because there is no level meter so you just kinda have to guess.

I use it to detect bad magnatrons and transisters, and it will show a difference of 1 ohm, the only one I have that will go that low.

No. This is a fine meter which is more at home in the power distribution area than in the audio and RF signal strength area. Its lowest voltage scales are designed for 1 to 400V for both AC and DC. It's a good meter for its intended use which does not include micro and millivolt volt measurements. Input impedance circuits in meters like this are too low to measure millivolt size signals,

A "sound calibrator" does not exist as some kind of free standing device. It takes a laboratory to conduct any test of a sound level meter.It is extremely doubtful that this device meets any standards or is calibrated in any way. First see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_level_meterNext look for certification from any independent laboratory. Ask the seller for their testing data by an independent lab. I don't think you will get a reponse.Will the meter show an increase as sound gets louder. I would assume it will in some vague fashion. Is it meaningful?

As far as I know NO, there is no audio confirmation of continuity, but then I never needed it for that, I just use it to check voltage on my little AAA and AA rechargeable Amazon Batteries. I really like th meter though,, as well as all the other Amazon items I have purchased. Have a good one. P. Haddock

Yes. Im a retired Elec. Contractor and got this meter for my son who is getting into the appliance repair business and knew he would need that function for troubleshooting appliances. So I researched it well. See link: http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/fieldpiece/stick-meters/hs33.htm

I do not think so. It is hard to measure sound loudness with high accuracy anyway, so any calibration would have to be better than the factory, and for some specific purpose. I would just use it as it is, factory set.

It should be able to measure the fan noise, however it will depend on ANY other noises in the are and the distance from the meter to the fan in question.An example is that I wanted to measure noise I make in my garage when operating wood working machines. I placed the meter at the street end of my driveway and it worked fine, unless a vehicle or other noise was near by.

Yes , this meter will do this, plus it is capable of using for many other electrical measurements.I really like mine

I don't know what a db meter is, but I don't think so as I have read the manual and don't remember seeing anything about it.

This device allows checking all pins of connectors at the same time, check for intermittent connections and check for shorted, broken or swapped connections just by plugging cable in. Also can inject a mic-level or line-level signal into connection to help trace problems. A multi-meter cannot do this. Leave the multi-meter in the drawer and use this instead.

Basic sound meters don't have these capabilities but you can find smartphone apps that do. Here's an example: http://www.instructables.com/id/Measure-and-map-noise-pollution-with-your-mobile-p/ It still might not stand up very well in court, unless you can get the metering part calibrated. Actually most cheapo dedicated sound meters can be calibrated (adjusted) so the readout matches the decibel level a calibration device emits and a single frequency. An (expensive) professional calibration will dig deeper, informing you how accurately the meter performs across a range of frequencies and volume levels. A cheapo dedicated meter might fall down there, or it might hold up pretty well. Basic sound meters don't have these capabilities but you can find smartphone apps that do.

Yes it can, but I suspect the small Gauss Meter (Ghost Detector) cannot register the actual strength of the E/M waves.The ghost detector is sensitive to very light magnetic anomolies and is no substitute for industrial meters.If you only want to know if you microwave is leaking I don't think it will work because the extreme power within themicrowave would cancel it out. Good Luck anyway

Yes, you can check the resistance by setting the meter on the 200 on the right side. Make sure you disconnect the speaker from stereo before you try measure.
