crescendo buzz alarm? Does the buzz alarm in crescendo, i.e. soft to loud?

No - it's the only thing I don't like about this CD/alarm clock. The buzzer comes on full and LOUD. It's too loud for me. I'm going to change to wake up to radio, at least I can control that volume. This thing would be perfect if the alarm came on low and then went to loud. But it doesn't!

It's pretty high pitched. I have trouble hearing it. It would be a great alarm if "alert" was lower frequency and a bit louder.

On mine, the alarm on nature sounds goes very loud, very fast. Very annoying.

If you install the included powerchute software, you can configure alarms to sound at all times, or you can choose to have alarms silenced during a selectable window of hours, or when the PC is in hibernation. I've got 3 of these devices, and the two on my PCs are set to alarm 24/7. However, the only time they've ever sounded is when I first turn them on there is a short beep, and during a real power failure. Not all all intrusive.

Yes, it does. More of a beep, than buzz, but it is loud. Good timer for the money. Hope this helps.

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.

I did not notice any crinkly loud sound, so I'm gonna say no. It makes a sound when your first opening it up, but nothing loud. I, too,am very happy with it!

With the added iHome app, you can dim it as much as you like. I am having some issues with the app though because it doesn't let me use the lower volume for the music part of the alarm. Since I use the white noise quite loudly to go to sleep to, this makes the alarm pretty loud when it goes off. There may be a way to fix this issue, I just haven't found it yet. If you don't go to sleep with sound or don't mind a loud alarm, it wouldn't be an issue for you.

No it doesn't have a vibrating alarm. In fact, the alarm it does have has a medium-pitch sound that is ideal for a light sleeper who doesn't need drums banging to wake up.

The alarm has a couple of settings but even the lowest setting is quite loud. I would think it would wake a heavy sleeper especially set on the highest setting.

Yes, it has many "snooze" and "alarm" functions. You can choose a 'buzzer', or to wake to a radio station. However, they recommend you choose buzzer if you are not certain of the reception of a radio station, especially when travelling.

Hi, I believe it has one level of chime only, which is too high :) and might gets u the shivers even for a low alert scene. I hope they can change it to 2 or 3 levels. Thanks

Yes. The volume can be adjusted from mute to annoying loud. However, for proper installation, I recommend adding either the wired or wireless siren. The siren will only go off when the alarm has been triggered. This way the sound is audible to everyone outside.

It makes a noise but not so loud that it would wake someone up. Just my opinion. My family are not light sleepers though!

Yes. It works perfectly fine. You can set it to buzz, iPod, or radio. The only issue is it goes minute by minute. You can't just hold the button and it go hour by hour like normal alarms. So it can take a while to change the alarm time. But it works just fine.

Yes! I use the sleep machine app. And the alarm sounds over that. Hope this helps
