How LOUD is the beep? I tried some units and the beep was the same 100 Db as the alarm which is not accpetable.

It's loud enough to alarm you from my living room where I have connected to my room which is about 30 away from it, even with the door closed

About as loud a a microwave beep. Had a major issue with it. When I pulled the battery protector tape out, it ripped. Couldn't tell it ripped so I thought the transmitter was defected. I almost had to break it to open it. Sure enough, the tape was still between the battery and spring.

I never got that far, the wireless distance was very poor I returned the item in one day

The chime is pretty loud. You can definitely hear it from another room. It chimes only once every time you open the door just to alert you. The alarm though is continuous.

It's pretty loud. I can hear it in other rooms as long as there is no real loud back round noise. It beeps for a pretty good while, but not in defitnilty. I was looking for a timer that was close to the one from Pampered Chef. This was as close as I could get. This one though is louder. Hope this helps!

Yes, it continues to beep for 60 seconds after it goes off. As I said in my review I would not buy this again because it has such a short alarm time. If you step outside or go to the garage for something you may not realize it has gone off for several minutes. The other one I have rings for five minutes and also has a countdown screen which continues to count down so you'll know how long ago it went off. Just my thoughts.

I got this and mine made a beeping noise but it wasn't loud at all. Is it defective or ????!

Mine is about as loud as the beep from our microwave oven. The description on the Amazon page sez 90 to 105 DB,maybe you could google that for a reference.

What?... huh??? Can't hear anything but this alarm!Quite loud! Let's put it this way, for a little unit... you will want to hold your ears if it goes off!I think it's about 120 db and Pain begins at 125 db... close enough...

I just got mine in the mail and I can assure you that it sounds NOTHING like a door chime. The beep mode sounds like our microwave beeping to let us know that our food is done cooking. We don't have any problem hearing it. The alarm is very loud and sounds like a high pitched siren.

Not that I am aware of...it is more of a beeping crescendo...I'll be honest...I'm a light sleeper and have slept through the alarm function numerous times...but it may work for another person...it is nice to have three settings and I still utilize it for a back-up alarm...

it only beeps. You need to know what you set the alarm for. Perhaps your phone might be a better way to set alarms with specific information attached?

When it plays music on the alarm function, is it music only, or the alarm sound as well? (I have one that simultaneously also beeps while it's on wake with music, I do not want one like that ever again.)

Do you hear an occasional beeping? When it's on mute, you can hear them but they cannot hear you. But it beeps every 10 seconds or so to indicate that it's muted. If not, check your connections. If nothing else, it's a faulty unit.

It beeps when you're pushing the buttons to set it, when it gets to the temperature set and then when it shuts off. You can not adjust to sound level but I don't find it to be too loud. My microwave is louder.

It is much louder than average. I have a 15 yr old son that sleeps through must alarms but not this because it can be turned up really high. Hope this help with your choice!

The alarm can be loud but you can adjust it. You can also set different alarm tones. I love it and it works great!!

The alarm is loud enough for me to hear it in the whole house. Thats what I needed. There is no delay in the Beeping to start, and it does last 10seconds about.

Not very loud. The beep is not annoying either. I have 4, and each has a different sound.
