Default Sound Pressure Meter

I seem to have misplaced my old Radio Shack sound pressure meter. What's the latest equivalent replacement?

Thanks for the info. My poor cell phone is due for an upgrade. I haven't yet given up hope of finding the Radio Shack.

If you can't find it, check Amazon. Plenty of inexpensive choices such as this $21 item.

WIDE RANGES & ACCURATE MEASUREMENT – It measures range from 30 – 130 dB with frequency range from 31.5 to 4Khz. Highly accurate with +/-1.5dB.

Thanks. I had been looking at Amazon. They have many choices. I was hoping someone knew one that worked for them.

... but I found my old Radko Shack, and it still works. Thanks for all who had suggestions. I may buy the one from Amazon just to have a back up.

I still have my trusty Radio Shack veteran. It served me well over the decades of being in the hobby.

A few different apps I tried are within range of what the Radio Shack meter shows so any of the choices seem to be good enough for hobby grade accuracy purposes.
