Is the alarm loud(don't want to bother the neighbors) or is it like a door bell (chime), also is there a delay like 30 seconds for the alarm to sound?

It won't bother the neighbors but you can hear it. It beeps fairly long like 15 beeps or so. There is like 20 second delay before it will activate again. We live in the country and have to unplug it at night because the deer keep triggering it.

The alarm sound plays off the receiver. It's loud as all hell but that's the part in your house. It will annoy you before the neighbors.

It has three different ways of alerting a series of beeps for about 10 seconds, a horn type alert and finally silent with just a little flashing led your neighbors will not hear it it is because the alert sounds at the unit inside your house.

The alarm is loud enough for me to hear it in the whole house. Thats what I needed. There is no delay in the Beeping to start, and it does last 10seconds about.

It has a doorbell setting and an alarm setting. I don't think neighbors would hear it. If you have two sensors, one will be single beeps and the other will be double beeps. You will know if it's front or back door.

There is no Delay and it has a loud siren like sound that shut off after about a minute and a low beeping alarm that stops after about 15 seconds!I keep mine on the second setting!

If it is moved or gets jarred it will make a loud "chirp" as a warning. I haven't had any false alarms with it. I believe if the alarm is triggered that it goes off in like 15 seconds unless the code is entered before that.

It makes a loud ding dong sound. Not like a doorbell, but a little bit more harsh than that. It does have a low and high setting so the noise won't be as abrupt. It was still a bit loud for me even on the low setting, so I took a dish cloth and taped it over the place the sound comes out to make it better. It muffles the sound. Hope this helps.

I don't know of a way, but I agree that it's not very loud. I suggest you set another timer with a louder beep as a backup!

The motion sensors chime when activated. You can also set the door sensors/window sensors to do the same. I personally didn't because it would be too much chiming, lol. I have had my system for 2 years now and love it. I would highly recommend getting another chime/alarm ringer linked to it for your upstairs if you have a 2 story/3 story home.

The alarm goes off for about 60 seconds (I've never timed it. I seems to last a long time.) It's plenty of time for me. If you want to go take a shower or something, though, you could miss it, I suppose.

No, the alarm is basically a deterrent to a thief. When the security is breached, the alarm does sound, but not loud enough for even a close neighbor to hear. I guess it amounts to a scare tactic to a thief looking for an easy break- in. Hope this helps

It is very loud, almost scary loud. It will wake you but keep those batteries fresh so that the alarm will do its thing. If batteries weak, the alarm is short and also weak

I just tested my alarm. It's SUPER loud (loud enough you can hear it a block away.) I don't think you can hear it 2-acres away though.

I haven't tried it yet as I just got it today, but when i was setting the alarm there was a bell symbol and it was either normal or with a slash through it. my assumption is that when you select the slash though, the sounds will be muted.

I just got mine in the mail and I can assure you that it sounds NOTHING like a door chime. The beep mode sounds like our microwave beeping to let us know that our food is done cooking. We don't have any problem hearing it. The alarm is very loud and sounds like a high pitched siren.

It's pretty loud. I can hear it in other rooms as long as there is no real loud back round noise. It beeps for a pretty good while, but not in defitnilty. I was looking for a timer that was close to the one from Pampered Chef. This was as close as I could get. This one though is louder. Hope this helps!

Not quite sure how you are using this. It only sounds when you "open" the door. You have to break the magnetic connection by seperating the two parts for the alarm to sound. There is no volume control. It is pretty loud.

Quite loud. Well it depends how close you are to your neighbors, but if you leave in a house I don't think it will wake them up.
1694234
No it won't wake the neighbors but it's pretty loud especially on high. It works so fast though you won't have to run it very long. I have owned mine for about 15 months and I use it everyday. The best appliance I have ever owned.

We have two of these at our place of business on entry doors. They are only about 30 ft away and I hear them very well (lol, almost too well) my husband says that at 75ft away and being outside you may not hear them well due to outdoor noises and such. The bell is not obnoxious like say a string of the larger round Christmas bells, It's more of a true shopkeepers bell. Hope that helps!!

No, not really. When the infrared transmitter detects movement...the receiver sounds. But if you, the person who set the alarm system up initially, knows this (as you obviously do) it is no big deal. The thing chimes and you say "Oh yeah, cool. My alarm works." But I think I understand why you ask, because if you have a true siren-type of alarm, you need a delay of a few seconds to turn the bloody thing off because you don't want to hear it triggered. After all, it is "you" entering the alarmed site and not an intruder. But this 1Byone system is more for when you are home or in your garage and you wish to know that somebody else is within range of the transmitter and they set it off (not you). Kind of like when your dog barks at a person approaching. There is no "delay" so to speak, but you thank your dog at any rate because he/she warned you of said interloper (or whomever...could be an in-law:). But no, to answer the question, no delay feature. If it detects, it beeps. Low or High setting. Still a good system though. I've become accustomed to the chimes as it has detected my movement on the order of 100 to 1, me vs. ?
