I just saw acoustitape advertised. It's a tape measure for wavelengths, used for troubleshooting. I've never seen anything like this before. Is it a common tool that I was just unaware of?

That's the only tape measure I've seen that's calibrated in frequency, correlated with wavelengths at the speed of sound.
However, it's just a convenience (albeit a pretty cool one) because all sound professionals understand the significance of interference from adjacent sound sources and self-interference caused by boundaries. The distance between sound sources and reflections determines the frequencies that are impacted. It's pretty much acoustics 101.

Does it mean that professionals won't rely on it as a means of measuring noise over a period?
