Hey can anyone let me know if the high pitch setting sounds like a car/air horn sound alike... or are both high & low setting like a bird chirp sound?

yes, the high setting is like a very loud bird chirp, the other setting(i wouldn't call low) is the same but without the chirp, it works! people/cars take notice. I have both the hornet and the airhorn, i find myself using the hornet most of the time that I been thinking of quiting the air horn, although the airhorn can be a lot of fun.

The low setting is a simple steady somewhat high pitch unbroken tone. Not at all like the chirp and not effective for road use. This tone sound does NOT resemble a car horn whatsoever. The tone setting is effective in a park where things are relatively quiet and your only hazard is people and other bicycles. The 140db is a lot of sound pressure but it is at a high pitch. I like my horn but don't count on it for preventing accidents with cars. I live in the center of a large city, so it is often hard to get above the din to be noticed. Great for clearing joggers out of bike lane, though.

The traffic mode is a very loud oscillating high pitch - more like a personal attack alarm. The park mode is a single pitch slightly lower level sound. Neither are deep like a car/air horn. I've found the unit to be excellent and use it all the time to good effect.

You can hear it somewhat with music going maybe halfway turned up. The way it lights up grabs your attention faster than hearing it. It makes a chirp noise that's very distinct from others I've heard. I blast my music and don't always hear it.

I think the bang of a heavy truck hitting a pothole or a bump would set it off. Higher pitch sounds don't have an effect on it, but lower/deeper pitched sounds definitely do.

My neighbor has one of these on his balcony. It beeps every few minutes. It reminds me of a smoke alarm needing batteries, except it sounds like a bird chirping. I'm not sure how that is supposed to deter birds.

Hello J. that high pitch sound is ok, however, my defuser didn't have that, so with that said, my guess is that it depends upon the fan that they put in the particular machine. If it bothers you though, by all means, Amazon is good at sending things back so they would gladly replace the unit, On my DoTERRA unit, it would start and then slow way down to almost nothing. I hope I've helped you. Sincerely: Ray R.

There is a very low wind whistle from one of the back ones but its very low key. If you had the radio on you would not hear it, but I have very, very good hearing and rarely turn my radio on so yes, I can hear a little whistle.

Yeah, i have the same buzzing noise. I took the car to a car-audio professional store and they told me that the sound is from the device, not from the car because sounds even with the engine off.It starts to annoy me a lot, if you know what could be the solution i will appreciatte.

on two of the settings it has what appear to me as realistic bird sounds. Personally, i would not call the "Aviary" as squealing any more than a flock of birds makes a number of different sounds - sounds like the zoo. I agree that the North Woods is really good - sounds like night as i grew up in pre-air conditioning days

AA and C. My son says he had to listen to the helicopter for 5 1/2 straight as the grand was home sick. His comment was, "Thank goodness the batteries are running down." Grandma paybacks . . . ! Apparently the sound effects are quite loud. :) NOTE: I did NOT pay any where near as much as the now $39.98 listed. Closer to low twenties.

Hi-pitch is no problem. It takes out jet engine noise across the band.I don't think it's possible to catch the leading edge of a sharp event but I haven't tried that.

H TJ...mine has a little whistle, but I listen with head phones(speakers are pretty lousy) so I don't notice it..I don't think it means there's something wrong with the player..I just wish I could make the picture brighter....

Not super loud. More like annoying. I've only heard mine up close. Haven't tried to see what it sounds like from a distance. Anybody checked to see if the sound can be heard from a distance?

True on low pitch sound, more like a hum. But to me, false on annoying because it soothes my babies to sleep.

I have never heard a high pitch hum, I love my Vizio, also bought the Vizio sound bar only because I love the theater sound. It is a great TV and would recommend it especially for the price. I purchased thru Amazon, had it delivered and have been watching it every night. Really like a smart TV and stream alot. Vizio has great customer support too.

If you have hiked in the mountains, it sounds like a waterfall does a long ways off, when the sound is not distinct but is a low, steady roar. Another comparison might be if you have a newer car with a smoothly operating heater. When you turn the fan up on the heater it makes an increasingly louder, steady noise, but no rattles or anything like that. I hope this helps.
