The PCB Artists decibel sound level meter module features
- High accuracy of ±2 dB SPL
- Measurement range of 35 dB to 115 dB
- Frequency Range of 30 Hz to 8 kHz
- Easy to use – standard I2C interface
- Low power consumption, only 5mA @ 3.3V (measurement) and 100uA (sleep)
- Selectable response – A-weighted, C-weighted, Z-weighted
- Adjustable averaging time in the range of 10ms to 10,000 ms
125ms (fast mode) and 1,000ms (slow mode) supported - Threshold detection and interrupt
- 100-reading buffer to allow host MCU to sleep
- Stick to any surface using peel-off adhesive
- Low cost and small in size
Decibel Meter – Documentation
The I2C decibel meter module can be connected to any system with a 3.3V power output and I2C bus for communicating with the sound sensor module.

Example Projects and Source Code
Here are some sample projects and source code to help you get started quickly with our decibel sensor module.
- Using the dB SPL sensor with Raspberry Pi, includes example source code in C
- ESP32 Decibel Logger Demo with ThingsBoard, includes ESP32 Arduino sketch
- RP2040 or Pi Pico Sound Level Sensor Demo, includes MicroPython code
See the Module in Action
Watch How2Electronics’ YouTube video using an ESP32 devkit and OLED display to show decibel values acquired from our sensor. At 0:40, you can see how the speaker’s properties and the module’s A-weighting affects decibel readings based on the sound frequency being measured.
Physical Dimensions
Note that the bottom side of the module has no components to facilitate sticking the module to an enclosure using double-sided adhesive tape. The sound inlet port of the microphone is located on the bottom side.
