i will not order another cheap baby ben. they have been reliable in the past, however, the one i ordered and received will not keep time properly no matter how fast or slow i set it, also, it will quit running. thats only after a day of owning it.

The clock was for my mother and she will be 98 on Saturday. She hasn't complained about it at all. She didn't care for the digital ones and that is why I got it. She hasn't called once for me to call and wake her up for her club meetings. When I set it for her I didn't think it was loud at all.

It isnt that loud. It depends on how light of sleepers your kids are. Wouldnt bother my daughter, but would wake my son.

My wife mainly uses it, and sometimes the kids mess with the volume during the day, and when it is set high, the alarm startles us. So yes, it can be loud enough if you want. I think it has a progressive function or setting where it gets louder and louder if you do not turn it off. Hope that helps.

The alarm does have an on and off. We turn it off when the grandkids are running around. It has a low and high sound. We keep it on low and it's not as loud as our hour clock. Nice sound, not scary.

The buttons beep when setting both minutes and seconds, also on Start or Stop. They are about 6 or 7 out of 10 on a loudness scale, where 10 is annoyingly loud, and 1 is barely audible. I can hear the alarm in a room about 20 - 25 steps away.

Hi Mike, the timer isn't to loud, but you can here it if you are in another room, and if you are listening for it. The alarm last for one min. It is a great timer. I have gotten 2 of them. 1 for home and 1 for work :D

It's pretty loud. I wouldn't use it when anyone else is sleeping because it would wake them. It's not quite as loud as hair dryer but it's still pretty loud.

It is not too loud; about the same as a window fan. I have mine in the bedroom, and I would not be able to sleep if it was very noisy.

It is not loud at all. I have a mild hearing loss but this would not wake me even 3ft from my ears. If you need loud, buy an 120v digital, the Tozai (spl? ) I have is really loud, the Timex has a loud and soft switch. Both are old clocks.

My alarm gets progressively louder the longer it on. After about 1 minute it's very loud. So I haven't set the loudness.

It is very LOUD when set to the loud setting. I wear hearing aids and cannot hear the alarm when it's set to the low setting, And that's with my hearing aids! It's a shrill, loud sound.

I am not sure, all I can say is that it is loud kinda like a fire alarm. My mom can't stand it she said it is to loud.

No, it is not LOUD. It is barely adequate. But it is clear enough. I would never buy it again, not at half the price.

Yes and yes. Quite loud, particularly if the initial recorded alarm is recorded'loudly'. I have high frequency hearing loss so I (male) make the recording(s)so everyone can hear them, even me, no problem.

From my experience, there is no alarm on the clock. Everything regarding the alarm comes from your phone. This is just a speaker, docking clock.

It is very loud actually! I could hear the alarm from my room in the attic when my grandfather was in his room on the first floor.

If you press it against your ear as you would a phone, you could hear a faint tick. Otherwise, it is quiet. The alarm is surprisingly loud for the size of the clockFYI: The size is 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 1 1/2"
