Does it sound like a car alarm? I'm afraid it might be ignored.

This alarm does not sound like a car alarm. It is a very loud whirling alarm. It will definitely be noticed by anyone in the vicinity and a distress call.

Every time I see it go off there is a patrol car sitting or driving by. Sometimes it reacts to doors at super markets like wall mart and when emergency vehicles are active they also set it off. But other than that no it does not alert you unless it is something that actually sets it off. It will constantly beep with a bar telling you how strong the signal is. The stronger the signal the faster the beep. Also it will let you know well in advance about a radar and will continue to beep until out of range.

That being said, I have never had the alarm go off for high wind watches and warnings... It has only sounded for Severe Thunderstorm watches/warnings and tornado watches/warnings... I did not have it this winter, so I don't know if it sounds for winter weather alerts.

Set the alert feature to "siren" mode and it will sound relentlessly. At its highest volume setting, I can not fathom anyone sleeping thorough the siren on this thing. If you do, then you need to have your hearing tested!

I don't think so. It was too loud to be soothing and the alarm feature didn't work all the time when set.

What the others said - it's not a phone, nor does it have an alarm. It would be nice if it did, though (are you listening LifeTrak?)

The short answer is "Yes". However, the unit may be too sensitive and sound the alarm because of the carbon monoxide gas emitted by your vehicles. I use mine in the kitchen area of a park model mobile home to detect any propane leakage. Any inconvenience caused by a false alarm is insignificant when compared with the alternative.

I haven't tried to use an alarm but when I read through the directions I did not see that there is an alarm. But it is well worth the money for the sounds.

This is just a siren, not an alarm system. When power is applied, it makes a loud noise. And when no power is applied, it is silent.

Unfortunately no - the only suggestion I can make is: set the radio so that a loud static or hiss noise is produced and then hope you wake to that noise when the alarm goes off in the morning.

Sounds defective. I dont think there was a way to silence the alarm otherwise.

Yes, it can be heard especially if you choose certain alarms. We mounted it I our kitchen and we could hear it in our bedroom.

i think it is a standard decible level for alarms - not particularly quiet. Sounds just like the travel alarm I've got.

The only way the alarm would go off , ( through motion sensor alert not shock sensor or any other add on you may have) is if something as big as ur hand or bigger would to move next to the car ( Windows) it will send a warning alert which is 5 chirps, and is the ararm is alerted again whithin a short period of reset , a full alarm will be triggered

It is quite loud, it may do the trick. There are also alarm clocks that have a "Nature Sounds" setting that are also quite loud. I have one by Memorex that has such a feature. Good luck!

I'm really not qualified to answer that. Perhaps contact the manufacturer of the alarm to get their take on your idea.

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.
