There is no technical reason to calibrate a dosimeter at any one particular sound level, and dosimeters may be calibrated at a number of different levels. The important thing is that the calibration includes sound levels relevant to the noise that will be measured.
One particular model of calibrator happens to produce a sound of 114 dB. Others use 93 dB and other levels

The radiation dosimeter was invented by Werner Forssmann and Burchard B. Harned in the 1920s. They developed the first wearable dosimeter to measure radiation exposure in workers.
A pilot would wear a film badge dosimeter to monitor their exposure to radiation during flight. This device measures the amount of radiation the pilot is being exposed to and helps ensure they are not exceeding safe radiation levels. Regular use of the film badge dosimeter allows for early detection of any potential radiation hazards and helps protect the pilot's health.
Dosimeter badges typically do not detect exposure to alpha particles because alpha particles cannot penetrate the outer layers of the badge to reach the dosimeter inside. Alpha particles are stopped by even a thin piece of clothing or the dead layer of skin, so they are not typically captured by external dosimeters worn by radiation workers. Specialized internal dosimeters may be used to monitor alpha particle exposure if it is a concern in a particular workplace setting.
A pen dosimeter is a dosimeter the size and shape of a pen. In many cases they are radiation quartz fiber dosimeters made during the cold war for civil defense workers in the case of a nuclear attack. Of these the CD V-742 is the most common with over three million being produced.

A dosimeter is an instrument that measures the amount of hazardous material to which something or someone has been cumulatively exposed. The most common is the radiation dosimeter, which measures a person's or object's exposure to radiation.
A dosimeter based on sensitized film is one kind of radiation dosimeter, but there are other different kinds, and film badges are becoming less common. One widely known dosimeter is the direct read "pen style" electroscope dosimeter. Another "pen style" dosimeter is a miniature ionization chamber, but like the film badge dosimeter requires special equipment to read it later in a lab. Probably the most commonly used type of dosimeter outside of emergency response is the TLD, or thermoluminescent dosimeter.

This is the HVAC actuator. I am having my recirculater actuator replaced today. It is a similar problem . Makes that thumping rythmic noise. Can't stand the noise anymore. If it is the recirculatoer actuator the noise will stop when you push the air recirculater on. From what I understand this part has to be calibrated so I have to take it in to get it done.
It is calibrated by puttin it in some ice.

Scales that aren't calibrated are unreliable.
