My toddler grandson bangs his head to go to sleep. It was suggested to try a metronome. Would it be loud enough?

You may want to get him checked for SPD. Occupational Therapy works wonders for kids seeking input like this.

If I can hear this mentronome over my old piano, I would think your grandson could hear it. His ears are way younger than mine.

Yes, and it has a volume control.He will hear it just fine.Hope this helps.

I'd worry about hearing damage, I'm always turning the metronome down myself for this reason. The "tick" is pretty sharp sounding. I'd recommend a clock with a soft ticking sound.I have the Seiko metronome which has a volume wheel on the side, not all of them do.

The metronome has quite a prominent sound, designed to be heard while practicing a musical instrument. The toddler will definitely hear this device. Good Luck

Yes it would be loud enough and has two different clicks to choose. However, it won't stand up by itself and there's nothing to attach anything to hang it. No clip nor hole, no anything. You can lay it on it's back or prop it up. I don't like it for that reason but it works well-oh, it has no volume control either. Lay it on it's back, stuff it in a sock and it will work great for the lad. Good Luck with him.

I'd say if they are closer to 3 than 4 it would be okay. If they are closer to 4, I'd opt for a different model that is actually a clock that changes color when it's "wake-up" time. It should be clear enough for a 3 year old to understand though.

I would say so. I have it connected to a little mp3 player and with the volume all the way up it is louder than a car alarm.

I have to disagree. The train is very loud. It is either on or off, no volume control. I don't think that it takes away from how much the kids love it, but it would be hard to hold a conversation for very long with this thing blasting in the same room.

the answer is no. i just got back from vacation and i think the best tool is to be vigilant. and i also think what i really need is to get a gadget much like a car remote with a very loud sound much like a horn or at least adjustable to that level attachable to my kid.

Hi, I gave this to my 7 yr old niece. I asked my sister about your question and she said it is loud and could be used. It is relatively small in size. She thinks it could work.

It is not that loud. I did not see a switch to turn off the sound. But as long a your child is having fun and not watching tv or a movie who cares how loud a toy is. The most important thing about a toy is that a child is having fun and doesn't realize that they are (or anyone) is improving eye hand coordination.

I didn't find it too bad on the decibal level - it was not as loud as an alarm on an alarm clock. I found the vibrating feature more effective at waking my daughter up than the alarm. I know some people complained it was not loud enough, but I really thought it was sufficient for its purpose.

It's not very loud. You can put it next to baby's head, but honestly, when I used it, I had to change the set of batteries every two days since it was on the highest volume always. I only use my other munchkin noise machine that plugs into the wall.

Yes absolutely. I bought three of them for my three newest grandchildren, and all three can't go to sleep without the soothe n groove. It is soft soothing sounds and lights. The batteries lasted several months of hours of playing as well, which i was impressed by. It also has a volume control to make it a little louder if you want it when they get older. My grand daughter that lives with us is nine months and she now has learned to push the big button and change the songs which she loves the ability to do, So it grows with them!

Absolutely. Has all the sounds. My daughter has been using it for 2 year's since our move from quiet Georgia to loud NYC. We dont use the timer and my daughter prefers to have it on all night.

It can get loud depending on what items you are blending. You wouldn't want to use it with a sleeping child in the next room, but it's not so noisy that it hurts. :-)

I think it provides good white noise. If he sleeps soundly I think it would be fine. If he is a very light sleeper it might bother him.

Yes! It will play all night if you want. It's perfectly loud for baby. I put mine about 5-6 inches from her ear or hang it on the side of her pack n play where she sleeps at night. I used to use a fan for myself but when this is on I don't need to. Hope this helps.

It would be fine. I love the sound of it and sometimes I play it quietly while kids are still sleeping. It's very easy to control the volume from either my iPad, android phone, laptop or on top of the unit,

Yes, I think it's perfect. You can set the volume to where you want it and it isn't very loud. Also, at the push of a button, it comes right back on. My son loves his.

I don't think so but I think the volume will be fine unless you have significant hearing loss. And I don't think you'd you'd want to anyway- you want to hear it if it goes off but I'm thinking if its too loud that's probably not great for baby's ears.
