I don't know of any other that can be heard from outside on our back patio while tending the BBQ grill with the kitchen exhaust fan going over the stove next to the timer on the side of the fridge with its magnetic mount - so that's 30 feet away around the corner over the loudest kitchen range fan noise level with patio conversation, breeze through the trees, birds chirping, BBQ grille sizzling, overhead flight path from PDX and I still get the jolt from the loud beeping to alert me that the time intervsl has elapsed. Something tells me that the manufacturer didn't think of this test condition for their unit...

Yes, this timer is loud. My 93 year old mother has trouble hearing, and when she uses the timer she can hear it. I recommend this timer!

It is not adjustable. I cannot quantify the volume of the alarm, but I have never found it too loud. One could probably not hear it from more than 25 feet away.By the way, my timer has worked flawlessly for several years. I do not at all consider it "junk".

Sorry i set my timer to run during the night and i have never checked to see it it is functing correctley. Instructions were shipped with the device and it was simple to set ( I think.) I will try to check it this up an comming week end. Then I will get back to you later on this site if you don't already have the solution.

I have one too and the timer doesn't work. I quite working after a couple of months. Other than that, it seems to be holding up ok. I don't have a contact number but wish my timer wouldn't have stopped working.

It goes off for at least a minute if you do not reset the timer. I've never let it go longer than that because it's pretty loud and annoying.

I doubt it. I would look into another timer. I bought 5 in order to get 1 that worked.

My original timer was fine but the replacement is very loud. The ticking can be heard in the next room. I will be switching to a solid state timer.

This does not turn of with a timer, you have to be there. The way cheese melts and other things happen I don't see how a timer could ever be accurate enough. I don't find the lack of a timer a problem for the price.

It takes a G-13 A (CNB+). Personally, if I were you.... I would not buy this timer. You can barely hear it.

a loud resouding NOOOO..it costs alot of money plus shipping but it's made of very cheap material and does NOT LAST LONG....Plus it's not worth the extra money to buy replacement parts...Please look into another brand, but don't buy this.....

Volume not adjustable, but not jarring. Sounds "beep .. beep .. beep" for a couple minutes then stops on its own. Just seems loud for such a tiny timer. I've had larger timers (Pyrex, for example) which I can hardly hear in the next room, and which beep for only 5-10 seconds before stopping. I must admit I do not use this timer as a clock or a "count up" because I only need a timer and this is perfect for my use. I like it so much that I always keep an unopened spare on hand in case I drop and break this one and need an instant replacement.

Hi Mary: I use a number of timers in my profession as a machinist, so I know them well. I returned all 3 of the CDN TM8 timers. 1 never worked, 1 stopped working in 2 days, and the 3rd just irritated me by the fact that it kept forgetting everything and had to be reset after each countdown. So I purchased 3 West Bend Digital Timer, White from Amazon and have been very pleased. It is the one with a button for each number. It comes up today at $13.82. Worth the money in every way. Magnet is better, and when you hit stop it remembers what number you originally put in. Blessings. Ken E.

There is no way that we are aware of to make the alarm louder. You might want to contact Garmin directly.

I'm not sure how hard of hearing you may be but it is louder than our microwave timer by far. It has a very distinct beep louder than our microwave or oven timer.

Yes. Good timer so far. Have it wrapped in Ziploc bag, to prevent it getting wet. Loud enough, right functions for me.

No, there is no timer on mine. (Sorry for the slow response! I've been away.) -

K. I got this for a second house. I haven't been there since installed, but my nephew is saying that it is loud. Reach out 2/1, and I will give you an update.
