Part of 3M’s Total Hearing Solution
for noise in the workplace, the 3M
Sound Detector SD-200 is a compact
and lightweight entry-level sound
meter that joins the company’s
Quest detection range.

Designed to give accurate
measurement of workplace
noise levels through an
integrating feature that
computes the average sound
pressure level, it is suitable for
industrial and task noise
sampling.

Sue Poole of 3M’s
Occupational Health &
Environmental Safety Division, says:
“Noise levels can vary significantly in
the workplace, especially in
manufacturing facilities or machine
shops. The 3M Sound Detector SD-
200 is an easy-to-use sound
measuring device that combats this
problem by providing an average
sound level reading.

“From taking a
measurement, it is easy to
select the appropriate hearing
protection as the screen of the
3M Sound Detector SD-200
will display green, yellow or
red LEDs that correspond to
the 3M Optime Alert System,
which categorises products
into attenuation guidelines.”
