This is a silly question. This is not an amplifier. It will play your sound file via iPhone or whatever, just as any CD player or boom box. That is a lot, and is wonderful for such a tiny device. Reader: know the X-Mini does have a wheel for volume control. It WILL play as loudly as your CD player.

I have gound that a lot depends on the device you have it hooked up to. My Samsung S 3 didn't put out much sound. Mynew LG G2is even worse. If i hook it to my laptop it can be heard all over the kitchen i work in. This speaker pushes 2.5 watts. They make one that pushes 4 watts. Youmay want yo try that one for using in a gym or consider stringing a few together. I still love tjis speaker and will buy another.

I doubt if this speaker will be loud enough. You may want to look at a boombox instead.

Pretty loud. You could definitely gig out solo or have enough sound to keep up at a practice with a full band (if they weren't turned up all the way). Surprisingly loud.

Yes. It is sensitive enoigh to pick up people talking and should work fine. The background noise it reads at is around 35. A classroom that's quiet would be around 45. 75 and they are talking too much.

Yes it is loud enough... I had a party of about 75 and the volume wasn't turned up all the way and it projected very well. I got it for my daughter's 10th birthday but now we use it for everything. I love it

When I used this around the home, I keep it well under the 1/4 mark and that's still very loud.When I take it outside or to the beach, I play it near max (generally a little lower so the base isn't blown out) and you can clearly hear it from a far distance. I've had dance parties on the beach and it this rocks it.While it can be used inside, it's really meant for outdoors or large areas.

It does have settings to go loud but it's not good for noisy places in my opinion. At work I have people on both sides of me so what I do is toss an ear plug in the ear that is empty and then I do fine. This only has one ear speaker and you can easily switch it to one ear or the other but without that ear plug I get distracted by others around me.

It gets pretty loud enough to hear outside of a room. But its loud for how small it is.

late to answer, but I play drums and it is loud enough for me. I also wear ear plugs everytime I play (fyi), I have mine mounted to a boom arm/cymbal arm and its near my right ear (about 2 feet away +/-) and the volume is up all the way. Its built in speaker is loud enough - but then again that would depend on what voice I use. Accent plus the first voice I believe.

I use it for when I teach aerobic classes. I have music playing in the background and I'm using the mic to instruct. It should be okay outside as long as it's hooked up to a sound system. I use it in a building setting. Works great!

Ours worked relatively quickly, but we've found it to be very loud. Don't use it much.

We use ours in an outside bar and it is plenty loud enough. Not sure if you are wanting to use this just to play a song / songs during the ceremony (which should be fine) or wanting to use it for the reception party (def will not be sufficient). If just wanting to play some background music or a special song during the ceremony it should be fine.

It's definitely loud enough and you can pick a song/tune/sound that will make it louder. I'm quite hard of hearing and chose one that yells and I can hear it throughout the house (3200 sf). I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

It should work fine for a small room. I have mine in a 10x12 room and I run it on low and medium at night while sleeping and it works fine. On high it's louder and okay for daytime use. Adjustable up and down, but does not oscillate.

The thing about the noise canceling is that it doesn't work 100% well. It acts more like a bass boost imo. It cancels controlled steady noises, like fans and microwaves, but not unpredictable noises that change tones like people speaking and construction. So to answer your question, if you have your music loud enough then yes people will be able to hear it.

I have found it loud enough while out on the beach. Even playing football or out in the water a ways away you can here the music. I suppose it depends how loud your work area is. If it evolves loud machinery I really do not think any speaker this size is going to work. We have also used it for house parties and it has worked just fine even over all the talking and the television with the game on. I personally love it for what it is, a small portable speaker.

It's loud enough in a quiet room. I use it on the loudest setting for my daughter while I'm in the shower. Anything louder than a shower running, you may need headphones.
