Do they make any noise? Annoying? Our neighbors had a version that drove everyone crazy!

I have two versions, one which makes a ringing noise and one which makes a buzzing noise. Once in the ground, both are hard to detect unless you are standing within 5 feet of them. The ringing noise is a higher frequency than the buzzing noise. Some people might be more sensitive than others. Dogs would obviously be more sensitive. The probability of a problem is low. I live on a about 3/4 acre on the end of a cup-de-sac. As such the front of my property is close to my neighbors (houses are about 30 feet apart. I have not had a complaint, nor have my neighbors even realized I have three P3's on my property. I have two versions, one which makes a ringing noise and one which makes a buzzing noise.

These make very little noise. You have to put your ear right next to them to hear them once they are in the ground. They won't annoy you or your neighbors.

They do buzz but how loud it is depends on how deep you bury it. You can bury it almost completely. I have mine buried all the way flush with the surface and it is barely heard. I have had mine in the ground for over a year and it is still working great. I do recommend this product

I have 3 in my yard that is about 2 1/2 acres. Unless I am standing right there by it, I can not hear it vibrate. Only thing your neighbors might complain about is when the moles leave your yard, they might end up in their yard.

Yes, they do make noise. You can hear a buzzing noise but you can only hear it if you are near it. It definitely would not disturb your neighbors.

NO! They work great. Batteries last about a month. Moles last about 3 days and then go somewhere else. Be prepared to head them off to get them out of your yard. It is like playing battleship.

NO! They cut down on ambient noise but a loud item such as a chain saw or lawn mower is out of the question!If I pay attention I can hear what my wife is trying to tell me, while I have them on

Don't think so. We just made sure we placed it in the center of our house out of site so we could hear it. Sometimes it sounds louder than other times. Haven't figured out why yet.

Not as noisy as the car, but sounds like plastic wheels on pavement. Also, if their feet are on the pedals, it makes a clicking sound if they aren't pedaling. None of this detracts from our enjoyment of the bike.

Yes! The sounds are a bit annoying, but my child loves them. Usually I leave the sound on until I can't take it any longer :D

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.

Yes some make a sound louder than others. I think they run on different frequencies. I've never had any pest in my whole yard so they all work. I know they work because I notice the holes in my neighbor's yards. They all wonder why I don't have any holes and I tell them gophers don't like little dogs. I haven't even told my kids what they are.

ours are not really very noisy, I mean I had louder ones before. I guess this one is medium noisy if that makes any sense...we are happy

I have heard them make noises as well. If you look at my review 5 out of 8 went bad on me. It may have been just bad luck but I sent mine back.

It is fairly loud. Nothing that is going to cause issues with neighbors though

I don't know how close your neighbors are so I can't say. I shoot mine from the back deck into the yard and my wife doesn't hear me from inside the house. In truth she is three rooms away from me. I haven't noticed my neighbors paying any attention to me at all. I live in a subdivision and there is a woods behind my yard so it's a couple of hundred feet to the nearest neighbor's house. I'm shooting subsonic so there's no boom. I'm pleased with how quiet mine is.

Ours makes a small cyclic hum. You can hear it. It doesn't bother me, but everyone has different tolerances.

I never heard of them either. But it's a whole new world and I can't keep up:) As far as the noise - I obviously can hear it when it kicks in but I use the room a lot for phone calls and I never have a problem hearing over it nor do I find myself speaking louder. I'd say that after 30 seconds you don't even notice that it went into 'high drive'. Not a problem and I am sensitive to noise:)

Maybe there is some variance? I don't know. Others say it's soft, some say it's loud. I think it's just slightly above average at about 6. If you dislike the sound I can imagine it would be annoying.

Yes and No -- I can not here it and my kids can (some more than others). I even told them they were crazy and played with having it on an off and sure enough they could hear it and it was annoying (they said). Now the chipmunks, squirrels and bird on the other hand, just basically sit on it, eat nuts next to it and whatever... that is even on the loudest, and most encompassing setting. I bought 2 and I kept them, but I think the protection they offer is little... on loud it does keep me off the deck and therefore I can't see the critters... so?

K. I got this for a second house. I haven't been there since installed, but my nephew is saying that it is loud. Reach out 2/1, and I will give you an update.
