buy this.
I have it and use it from everything to properly setting up my HT surround to measuring just how damn loud my case fans are.

I have used those cheap ones testing my car stereo system. The results were terribly inaccurate. Moving the unit just an inch or so in any given direction would change the reading up to 10 db. But if you don't need it to be very accurate, they are good little devices.
