I also can hear it from another room. It has a middle to high frequency, which helps. By way of comparison, I *cannot* hear my oven alarm which is raspy and lower pitched unless I am nearby.

It is louder than the other one I own which is a different brand. I can hear it beeping from another room but if you are hearing impaired I'm not sure - it is not high pitched or extremely loud.

It is not real loud. Loud enough to hear if you're in the same room, but not "smoke alarm" loud.

I have excellent hearing and can hear it in the next room. But I consider it not loud enough!

Not very loud..possible solution, this timer easily fits in your shirt pocket, carry it with you like I do.

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.

This scale volume is loud enough and I do believe someone with impaired hearing should be ale to hear it. I have had no problems with my scale.

i think it is a standard decible level for alarms - not particularly quiet. Sounds just like the travel alarm I've got.

Reasonably loud. We can still hear it if we are downstairs while it is upstairs if it's quiet in the house. It uses a repeating double beep pattern.

Not loud at all. I have it on the ceiling in my basement workshop, and I do not wear hearing protection. Even on highest speed it is quiet.

No audible alarm. Only the visible. Go with the bigger monitor. The small one is too small.

Not loud that loud. I can watch tv and walk on the fast pace up to 3 mph without turning up the volume. For me this has been the best one we have owned.

Hi Amy, The alarm was loud enough to wake my husband and I up from across the hall, but my son slept right through it every time. We'd have to go wake him up. Quite honestly the alarm is so loud and so close to his ear I was concerned about hearing damage. You really don't want an alarm louder than this one. The volume is adjustable.

I don't know about compared to others because it's the only one I've owned, but you can hear it in the other room. I won't use mine while others are still sleeping, but if they are awake, I don't think it's loud enough to be a distraction.

No, and the alarm is extremely loud. I use the chime it is loud enough to here if my ASD son is entering an area of the home he is not permitted to.

That would all depend on what type of alarm it is. But how can an alarm be too loud? Isn't that there purpose to be loud and call attention to something?

You can adjust between a full alarm and a beep. The beep is fairly loud, about once every two seconds. There is no way to adjust volume. I keep the base station by my bed, for monitoring at night, and I have reduced the volume by taping over the speaker on the base.

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

I do not use it any more. The alert is not loud enough. I purchased it for using it in shopping mall, airport, or other public areas, where a lot of noises are present. In many places, I even cannot hear the alter because the noise surrounding me. The alert is loud enough when I was testing it at home or in our neighborhood.

I think the speaker is just below the sensor on the front. Perhaps that is where you would apply something. I'm still trying to wrap my head around wanting to muffle an alarm. Isn't the point of an alarm to be loud?
