Noise levels of sound in the air are measured by a sound pressure level meter (SPL meter).

Noise levels in an electronic circuit are measured by a volt meter.

Sound level meter (SLM), the integrating sound level meter (ISLM), and the noise dosimeter are the devices to measure noise levels.

Noise pollution is measured in Decibels.

If you're asking for literally "how" it's measured, there are sound meters that basically use a microphone to turn sound into an electrical impulse, and then measure that. Properly calibrated, these read out the sound pressure level (usually, as mentioned above, in dB).

How is sound level measured. At what level does sound become noise?

Sound level is measured in decibels (dB) using a sound level meter. Sound becomes noise when it is unwanted or excessive, typically around 85 dB for prolonged exposure or 120 dB for instant damage. Noise can also be subjective, as what is considered noise can vary from person to person.
