How long does white noise play for when you use it as alarm? I need it to play for 2 hours after alarm goes off

I've never tested that. I'll try it sometime this weekend and get back to you.

So far, the alarm has never gone off for two hours, I have always shut if off manually. I don't believe it will shut off on its own.

Yeah, I love this thing. Perhaps you should contact the company that produces it. The sad thing is that it only plays one song as an alarm. So suppose I have a folder called MyMusic and it had 3 songs in it. I have to set the Alarm to play that one song. When the alarm goes off, it will play that one song over and over again until you shut it off. It will NOT advance to the next song. I hope that answers your question. I've asked the company who makes this to at least allow us to play the songs within a folder, but as of yet, i've not gotten a response. Perhaps if more ask, they will develop this feature.

I have had mine for years and years but I can't really answer! I use the alarm sound which will go off ten separate times probably 30 sec. Or so apart. I have had on since around 1978-ish and am only on my second one. I t is set for 4 separate alarms. I love the convenience of being able to grab my alarm and a couple containers when we go to my son's for an overnight. Good size too for the purse don't you agree? If you haven't purchased it yet I suggest you do. Enjoy.

Sorry, I bought it as a gift for my grandson, and they live in another state. His mom seemed to be very happy with it, but I don't know how many sounds it played. The feature I was most interested in was that it did not shut off after only one hour.

Maybe like 3 seconds when it goes off. The sound will activate only when motion is detected.

It beeps and turns off when it's getting low...mine hasn't ever run out completely. Also it says will go for up to 45 hours. That is obviously on the lowest setting. I run mine from 11pm to about 10am on medium setting so I make sure to fill it the next night before hand or it will stop midway through my sleep. Hope this helps...

You set the alarm to sound for a certain amount of time(for my mother I set it to stay on for 1 hr). After the hour is up the door stays open until the next alarm goes off. For my mother we had 3 alarms that went off in the course of a day.

There is an internal battery that allows the alarm to operate for some time. The siren in the base unit will sound, but not sirens plugged into wall sockets. I have mine plugged into a UPS, and know it will operate at least 24 hours. It worked fine for me during the last power outage.

30 seconds to siren the alarm, that is too lonnnggggg. Specially you can hear the beep-beep sound from the MAIN control panel. that is not a good Idea, giving the burlar emough time to break the system before it siren.My solution is to buy another siren and disconnect the speaker from the main control panel. still 30 seconds, but burglar will not hear anything. the bad part is you don't hear anything either when you setting your alarm system.But I just both an on and off switch for the speaker. so I can hear when I do something with the system.I'm not sure if there is any other way to do easier than what I have. 30 seconds to siren the alarm, that is too lonnnggggg.

Yes. You can pick a sound and leave it on for as long as you like. You can also set a timer that will turn the sound off. So, if you want to go to sleep to a certain sound, but don't want it to play all night long, you set the timer and it will turn off by itself.

My alarm gets progressively louder the longer it on. After about 1 minute it's very loud. So I haven't set the loudness.

If it sounds, anyone can turn it off. Not sure what purpose it would serve when you are not present. The battery probably would not last several hours.

The alarm sounds continually for about 30 seconds, +/-, and then shuts off. It will then reset to the time you previously set it for. This item is described to continue until one manually shuts if off. But the instructions that come with it say different and after using it, I found the instructions are correct...not the advertised description.

Ouch, this question is good mine works good, 24 time during night time, and morning hours with nomal time as you see it for p.m but is for morning, if you some more question ask me, I didn't buy for time but I have it front of my bed, when is 4:00 a.m I just see the time is correct. Great sound for small room actually. Hope you like it!

iIt's the loudest timer I've ever had, though it's not horribly ear-splitting. It rings for about a minute (a beeping noise) unless you turn it off sooner. I don't think you could use it as an alarm clock though.

During the day It's fine, not too loud. Sometimes I turn it off at night to sleep, but I don't need to have it on 24 hours. This is a hard question to answer because some might like the white noise, but I'm very sensitive to noise. Sorry I can't be more definitive.

My daughter in law says that It plays 40 minutes before it shuts itself off. Then, to restart you have to turn the dial all the way back off and then turn on to restart sound.
