  • Publication number: 20220205823
    Abstract: A fluid consumption meter (2) is arranged to measure a flow rate of a fluid and has a control device (14) with a sound detection module (26) arranged to detect a sound in said fluid. The control device (14) is configured such that during activation of the sound detection module (26) at least one further module (20, 22, 24) of the consumption meter (2) not required for sound detection is in a deactivated state. A method is provided for detecting sound in a piping system.
