There's no such thing. How efficient is your PC's loud speaker? They're all different. You can only calibrate yours by comparing it with an already calibrated meter. That in turn is calibrated against a regional standard which is calibrated against a national standard. That in turn is calibrated by the NPL who use special scientific equipment to directly measure the sound pressure level.

Where are you?
I'm on the Wirral and have the correct piece of kit to calibrate this.

Dunno if this'd work but:

What about going to your local SVA centre and asking if you can calibrate it when someone else does their sound test?

Just set your gear to whatever the SVA guy records for the car.

HTH,
James
