1938 Jrnl. Inst. Electr. Engineers 83 261/1 The circuit noise meter (or psophometer) is an instrument which has been designed for measuring the disturbing effect of power induction on telephone communication.

1993 Gloss. Electrotechnical, Power Terms (B.S.I.) iii. ii. 68 The psophometer incorporates a weighting network the characteristics of which differ according to the circuit under consideration.

1998 Proc. SPIE (Internat. Soc. Optical Engin.) 3380 39 A dramatic improvement over 10 dB Sinad (measurement done with no psophometer) was found over existing technology.
