My son is sensitive to noise. Is this very loud?

I can not tell you the exact decibles, but it is not excessively loud. Wear ear protection if there is a concern. I have ear sensitivity as well (hyper acuity) and do not need protection for this size rocket, but do for larger ones. You should keep a distance of at least 15 feet according to NAR rules through a D size motor and 30 feet for an E motor.

Yes! It is very loud. It is also very sturdy, well made. You should be able to hear it all over the house. You can also pull the clapper up or down for more or less volume and sensitivity.

Yeah it's basically a characteristic of this setup, cheap plastic housing. As your child grows it will become louder, not by much though. Hope this helps

Well ours is not that loud. We can hear the baby over it just fine. Also we have not had to change the batteries at all yet. I suppose that depends on how much it is played with my daughter has played with it a fair amount but not constantly.

When it first starts up there is a clicking noise but it gets quieter after it gets in its rhythm. My son has never been disturbed by the noise

I didn't try it out at Babies R Us since it was ordered online. How should it normally sound? Rather loud or quiet?

I'm sure it depends on how sound your kids sleep. Yes it does make noise but I would not say it is loud.

My son would cry with our old one. He said this one isn't bad. I wouldn't say it's loud but it's not quiet. It still sounds like a buzzer but it's really nice. For the price I'd try it!!!

No it is not loud and obnoxious. Plus, since you are outside the whole time and the kids are presumable sliding and splashing around having fun; no one ever notices the fan. We got a good 4 years out of ours until we gave it away to a neighbor after our son outgrew it. They use it and still have it. A couple of holes had to be patched up.

I bought this for my toddler, but when I saw all the reviews, people say that this clipper is low noise, I don't know if it´s a problem with mine, but my clipper actually make noise, maybe a little less than others, but my boy gets really stressed with this.

I don't think it is super loud, but it makes some noise... I have not owned any others of these to have something to compare it to

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.

The largest setting is pretty long. I started with it but had to go shorter. If he's sensitive to sound, this is really pretty quiet. Good luck!

Not gonna lie, it's pretty loud in my opinion however I have high ceilings & an open floor plan. If your kids are light sleepers you might want to explore other options. My 2 year old son can sleep through it but he's always been a sound sleeper.

I bought this one for my 2 year old son because it says quiet, but it's not. So we never use it.

No not at all, it's nice and quiet all I can hear is the baby's little snores. I have the volume up pretty high too and still no static.

It's noisy all the time. Not super loud but I can tell when he is bouncing even after a year.
