Does this work on screaming kids?

naw it goes small enough to at least fit on a 5 or 6 year old but it's illegal and such.

I actually hooked it up to myself to insure it wasn't a torture device for the dog. It certainly shut me up!!!

The closer the better. I find it will pick up people talking, kids yelling or other sounds which detracts from the LEDs blinking in sync with the music. I have my Amazon Echo within a foot of the microphone and I'm pleased with the results. It's so close it drowns out the sound of the kids most of the time.

I tried it and my little girl learned to whine and howl instead of barking...you can try it and send back if it doesn't work...mostly for indoors

Mine do the same thing, but when my child screams I can hear. I always just keep it by me , but my house is also pretty small, and I use the lights more than the sound.

It sounds like regular voice when spoken - I have never screamed into ours, but I would think it would be like a slightly modified version of the scream

I tried to but it was way to loud. My son is autistic and doesn't like loud noises. I bought this because the store person said it was probably the quietest they had. If your kid doesn't mind a loud buzzing noise then it should be fine. It does have a strong motor and cuts well. The attachments are easy to use. However, if you are looking for a quieter clipper for young or sound sensitive kids, look elsewhere.

Nope, and actually it didn't work only dogs at all (2 German shorthaired pointers). They just looked at me when I pressed it and then would keep barking.

don't belive the electronic sounds (sirens, voicees, etc) will. but kids imagination will fill in. i believe that is the marketing ploy to these sets, each set has their own sounds & voices that activate only work on that set. i may be wrong, BUT i rarely am . just ask my wife !!MERRY CHRISTMAS

Yes. You can increase and decrease the volume. It sounds like shhhh shhhh shhh. It's effective.

It does not have to be close to a speaker. It will following yelling (like my two year old niece's singing) or any sound in the room.

I wore these often during my son's first year, especially during those spells where he would just scream and scream for hours no matter what (contrary to Not Tellin's answer, kids will scream no matter what you do sometimes, he obviously has never actually had to take care of an infant before). So in short, no, these won't block out the sound. They MIGHT, however, keep you from going nuts. The sound is muffled and the really agonizing part of the screaming is cut out, especially if you pair these with some earbuds playing music. These allowed me to spend many hours rocking and dancing my son while he screamed and helped to keep me from throwing him out a window.

Yes I believe it works even without making noise, but then if one does so should the other.... good luck!☺

If some one shouts for you. you will hear it. It does not create silence , it muffles sound. If you are in your room with the door shut it should help quite a lot. Just make sure everyone knows what you are doing, and how. So, they don't leave the kids alone,thinking you will be there for them, and if the house catches fire, they yell fire not your name. Hope this helps (over protective much ? yes)

No, the sound is not motion activated. If I recall correctly the child has to press his ear to get the sounds. There is a whinny and trotting noises in addition to talking and singing. Hope that helps.

Don't know if would work for TV barking (I use a whistle & say Hush for that.I got the thundershirts for my Maltese who are terrified with Fireworks ---- didn't help calm them at all.

It works for growling, but my dog doesn't whine. If the whining is loud enough, I'm sure that the microphone on the collar would pick it up too and spray.

Oh geeze. It probably would work on kids, but it might be kind of hard to get it tight enough. But as it inflates, it should be Okay.
