SLM

function SLM

% SLM Implements a basic sound level meter.
%    SLM Uses the Data Acquisition Toolbox to estimate
%    the windowed FFT of the microphone input signal.
%    A-weighting is applied to the frequency spectrum
%    to measure sound level in dBA. Results are
%    displayed in real-time for fast/slow responses.

% Typical rates: {8.000, 11.025, 22.050, 44.100} kHz

% Choose response type.
% Note: {'fast' = ~125 ms, 'slow' = ~1.0 s}

% Set calibration constant.
% Note: A quite location will be ~55 dBA.
