Would this product work for recording decibel levels of dog barking and howling?

It doesn't record any sound levels. It displays the levels on a meter. If you happen to be looking at the meter when the dog barks or howls, then you can watch the numbers cycle upward and then back down again, but even then, are you quick enough to capture the highest point? Perhaps a device that actually records levels might be a better choice - that device would be a personal noise dosimeter. You could click the dosimeter to the collar, and record levels all day, whether you are there or not, watching, listening, or not.

There is no recording on this instrument however, you can look at the numbers on the screen and recorded by hand but is a very good decibel reader get a baseline when it's quiet and then with a dog barking it will show you the difference of the two

Yes, the meter has a feature that allows it to "lock" on the highest sound level during the measurement period. However, I'm not sure it measures low enough to accurately measure a dog barking. Unless it is, indeed, very loud.

Yes! There are three noise level settings and also a real time and a delay time

I purchased the Extech 407730 for quick analysis of various noise levels around the machinery and production lines of our lumber company. I have found it to be accurate and it responds quickly. One of the applications we have for this meter is to record the decibels of dropping a heavy board on a pack of lumber which causes a loud, sharp, clapping type noise. The meter responded well and registered the decibels accurately for this application. I assume it would respond equally to a dog bark.

Yes, it would definitely work to record the loudness of a dog barking. You should know, however, that sound ordinances vary from one area to another. You should first determine exactly where the measurement should be made from according to sound abatement ordinance prior to taking the measurement. If it violates the ordinance, you have irrefutable proof a a noise violation, that you can then have inforced legally. Otherwise, you will be wasting your time.

I have not used it for that purpose as my dog is always quiet. However, I think it should work very well, as long as you blew it every time the dog was vocal. I think it would really get the dogs attention. Probably wouldn't hurt if you followed up with a treat to reinforce the being quiet after the whistle was blown.

I wouldn't suggest using the interupt or negative feedback with this for casual whining. It may work, but really whining is about being able to set up limits for your pet. How do they whine and when?

This microphone will work for that but the quality will not be great. In order to capture the voice loud enough you would have to turn up the sensitivity in your camera which will add in a hissing noise. It will be alot better than the internal mic especially if your using a dslr.

I doubt if it would work. One of my dogs cries when I use it. I don't think it hurts her ears, but think it irritates her. Good luck !

you could and it would work , but I don´t know about the quality of the recording since that is only for monitoring purposes. If there is line out in your keyboard I would use that

This would work really well for that. The only problem I could think you might have. The mic picks up everything so is there is a lot of background noise you will hear it all

No, it will only work with a bark. I would recommend a remote control collar. We purchased one for around $50 that allows us to use a remote to activate a loud tone, a rattle, or a small shock. I think that would work better for whining. Good luck!!

I've only used it to make one recording to test the sound and it seemed to work well enough for that, although I am not sure how much background noise it would pick up if you are in a noise environment, since I don't think it has any kind of noise cancellation-type anything.

I would think so. I have used my unit in professional recording for a radio broadcast. However, I cannot speak to how well the microphone can record sounds from a distance.

Sure. If it's a dog that has a neck and barks from time to time this item may work.

Hello Fursuit Yiff. I'm not sure. I tried to use it to do red carpet interviews and there was an incredible amount of feedback. I couldn't use any of my audio footage.

I would not recommend this to be used for audio, the microphone quality sound is pretty terrible compared to headset microphones I've used. I would recommend using the WebCam with a different audio input device

It depends on what you want to record. If the volume is adequete, it will record with no problem. I hope this helps.

Honestly i haven't tried it since the main reason for what i bought the product was to listen not use it in mic terms. But it's all about sound being transferred. So my best guess it's that it should work for that.

It might be worth a try. My small dog, which has a barking problem, got use to it pretty quick, though. But it might just work long enough for your dog to get the message. My son's dog trainer recommended this and he used it at the dog training sessions.

Yes. The signals of the 2 mics will be reduced but if you have enough amplification then it should record. You just won't have the ability to adjust the recording level other than placement of the sound source(s)
