Is it very loud? Can I use it for Varsity basketball practice in a high school basketball court?

i dont beleive it will be loud enough for your practice it was built for crystal clear powerful sound at lower levels more than enough power for around the house but not enough for your application

It's pretty loud for the size, but a space you could describe as an "arena" might require something more substantial. These are great for a "room" even a "hall". For outdoor use especially, it wouldn't really project very far.

There is no way this "meter" will stand up to any serious scurtiny in an open court.My advice is that you call the local police about excessiive noise and hopefully they will arrive with a certified sound level (pressure) meter.

It isnt extremely noisy but after a lot of use it starts to get louder. I wouldn't use it at the office because it gives off a whirling sound that some people find annoying. I like to use it at home when I'm watching tv where the only people around who I can bother are my roommates. Try it out though and see if anyone has a problem with it.

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

Really, really loud. I use it for swim lessons and can hear it all the way down at the deep end!!

It is very loud. Can't be used in a room where conversations take place. The fan runs continuously (which is unnecessary in my opinion) & the compressor kicks in when it needs to (& then it gets louder).

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.

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

It can get pretty loud. I only use it in the shower so I can't speak for it elsewhere.

I don't think it is. I use the alarm in my classroom, and it reaches over the voices of 30+ students so it is quite loud. Still, I personally do not find it jarring.

It is loud enough to be heard over three noisy kids. With that said, your experience may be different. My wife and I think it is pretty loud. She normally sets it to the middle volume setting.

Sure can. I use mine in huge indoor and outdoor riding arenas and can be heard with no difficulty. A classroom would be a snap

It is fairly loud on high. I use it in a workout room and have to turn up the TV volume. However, I rarely use it on high since it pushes a lot of air. The sound level on medium and low is not unreasonable.

It's pretty loud...but I use it in my English class and for my dance squad. It puts out great loud sound.

No, it isn't that loud, however if you want to set it off in your home or in an indoor environment be careful, keep it at least 3 feet away from you and you should be fine. I have had one blow up right atmy feet about two feet away from me while crouching down during an airsoft match, I only got startled, my ears were not damaged. But just to be safe keep it at a distance.

It can make a fairly loud sound. there is a volume control so you can adjust it level of sound.
