No, it shouldn't. The snuza is only set off if there is no movement for a length of time; it's not sound sensitive. If your worried about being able to hear it if there are other noises I would say that would depend. It is a pretty loud alarm which you should have no trouble hearing.

No, the alarm is purely motioned sensored. It resets itself every time baby breathes and only goes off if it doesn't detect that movement.

No, the monitor detects movement. It produces a loud signal (the "alarm") after 20 seconds of not detecting any motion. It is literally placed onto the diaper with the sensor on the baby's tummy. Every time the baby breathes, the sensor detects this slight motion of the abdomen. The only thing that can interfere with it would be the movement of something else or the monitor falling off because it was not correctly attached to the diaper (this happened when my baby spent the night at my parents' hpuse and they didn't slip the monitor all the way into place).

We have white noise pretty loud in the nursery and no problem hearing the alarm go off with our monitor.

As far as I know the snuza only alarms if there is an absence of movement. The sound machine should not interfere unless you of course you can't hear the alarm.

It's based on breathing movement not noise so No, extra noise won't cause it to go off but I suppose it could make it harder to hear alert but it's pretty loud when it goes off.

Sort of. You can turn the volume off and the unit will blink when it picks up noise, but it will not turn the volume up. Of course, this will not wake you up should you be sleeping. The best solution is to just to keep the volume on. At worst, there's some white noise in the background, but you will hear every sound the child makes.

How about might wake up the baby. this can definately be heard in the next room, but not next door.

It has settings for Low, High and Off.To avoid false alarms, you have to "aim" the sensor at the door. That way it doesn't matter if there's movement in the room.

It sounds on both units if you have them both on. You can have just the child unit on if you are keeping baby in your bedroom. Then only the child unit will sound.

Yes, the alarm still goes off if the door is left open. I just tried it tonight. The door closed when the alarm went off. When you open the door the alarm goes off. The alarm is a high pitched beep. I have high frequency hearing loss and cannot hear it in the next room.

Yes. There is an audible alert if you lose connection to the unit in the baby's room, including going out of range.

I am having the same problem. After pushing the sensitivity button, I can hear out of the baby's room, then the unit mutes after a few seconds. Not quite sure if this is a battery saving feature...I always have mine plugged in next to my bed! It does go on when there is noise in the baby's room. I thought perhaps there was a reset button on the parent unit. Perhaps changing the battery will help. I guess it's time to refer to the owners manual. :-)

Based on the way my Home is made I can hear it in the other room. It does not repeat, it beeps 5 times then shuts off. Hope this helps.

Like others have mentioned, the sound machine stays on all night. That's what we do, we leave it on the entire night. I have never had a use for the timer. The button for the timer is directly below the power button. I've hit it accidentally once and found I had no sound in the middle of the night. But that's not a regular ongoing issue.

LOLL -- This is a great idea! All it would need is a sound SENSOR and... voila! Baby might instantly fall back to sleep. ;-) Also, I'm surprised that not every manufacturer makes them so that, if wanted/needed, the sound can be continuous by not using the timer.

That would all depend on what type of alarm it is. But how can an alarm be too loud? Isn't that there purpose to be loud and call attention to something?

No, we use scented candles and we do not have problems with false alarms from the light candle smoke.If you were to put the candle under the smoke alarm and the candle gave off a heavy black smoke, this would set off the alarm.

From what I remember, no. It will provide vibration and or music for a certain amount of time. The other option is if you leave it on all night it will turn on when it recognizes a noise from baby, stay on for a while and then reset to respond again when baby wakes. Hope this helps

I've had mixed experience. Running two sets (I have 2 baby units + 4 parent units) causes interference. Running one baby unit works fine 99% of the time. Running both baby units works about 80-90% of the time, depending on how much it's used. So not really recommended, since you get random beeping/disconnects during the night.

Yes, the sounds (including nature sounds) can come up at alarm time. It can be loud.I use the night-chirping sounds to make it sound like the window is open, also use the ceiling fan to move the are around. When I'd go to bed early, my wife would come around my side (where the window is) and try to close it because she often thought the window was open (air movement, and sound of crickets). It all helps me sleep.

The receiver has a switch that can be turned off and the volume can be set on low or high. At low we can hear it throughout the house. Volume is not the issue. It's the frequent false alarms that is bothersome.
