Decibel (dB) level measurements were taken with a hand-held digital sound level meter (Tenma®, Model 72-935) calibrated to manufacturer’s specifications. A-weighted scale, set at a slow response time capturing the maximum sound level. 0 inches is equal to a child’s ear to the toy. 10 inches is equal to a child’s arm length from the toy. Toys were tested at their highest volume setting. To decrease the volume of a noise-producing toy, SHA recommends setting the volume at the lowest setting and then apply clear packing tape over the speaker of the toy.
