IMPORTANT
Sonara is not a certified sound level meter or dosimeter. Phone microphones vary, so readings are indicative. Do not use Sonara for hearing-protection, medical or regulatory decisions. For compliance work, use a calibrated instrument and a qualified assessor. NIOSH, OSHA and Safe Work Australia limits are shown for reference; Sonara is not affiliated with or certified by them.
