A phonometer is an instrument used to measure sound levels, particularly sound intensity or pressure. It is typically used in acoustics and audio engineering to assess environmental noise, monitor sound levels in various settings, and help in the design of acoustical spaces. Phonometers can provide measurements in decibels (dB), which is a logarithmic unit used to express the intensity of sound.
