How loud is the collar warning beep? I bought the system and an extra collar and both beep so weak I and my wife can barely hear it inside, not at all outside

The beep is not loud for the human ear, but my dog can definitely hear it. I had the same reservation, but after initial training my hardheaded dog turns around immediately when he hears the warning sound from the collar.

I can't hear it much, but my assumption is that it's mainly in a frequency range that dogs can hear but we can't. When I tested the location where I should put the flags for training, I looked at the flashing LED on the collar. No way I was going to be still enough to hear the beep for that. It appears that my dog can hear the beep. I don't think the flags taught her all the boundaries and I can't believe she's been shocked that much.

When you are outside, you don't hear it unless you are very close to your dog.

The collar emits a very weak sound can only be heard approaching the ear. Be careful to do it may be shocked. The dog listens well that sound. My dog is wearing the collar for over a year and it works perfectly. It is imperative to training the dog as the manufacturer instruction. It is long and tiring but it is very important to do it well.

The beeper is not very loud, but your pet hears it well. If the light is blinking, it's working fine. Just look for the light to to tell you when to put on the charger. Thanks, Don.

ITs very quiet, thats the only thing i can suggest the company to change and make slightly louder so when you are trying to train your dog with the fence we can actually hear it to. or at least make it adjustable

My first question is why would it be beeping inside? The sound is for the dog to warn them when they get near the perimeter of the line...if they continue to go in that direction, they will be zapped. They learn that no beeping means they are safe.

30 seconds to siren the alarm, that is too lonnnggggg. Specially you can hear the beep-beep sound from the MAIN control panel. that is not a good Idea, giving the burlar emough time to break the system before it siren.My solution is to buy another siren and disconnect the speaker from the main control panel. still 30 seconds, but burglar will not hear anything. the bad part is you don't hear anything either when you setting your alarm system.But I just both an on and off switch for the speaker. so I can hear when I do something with the system.I'm not sure if there is any other way to do easier than what I have. 30 seconds to siren the alarm, that is too lonnnggggg.

You can turn the collar off/on but not the transmitter. There is a button on the collar you press and hold until it beeps (4 beeps is on, 2 beeps is off).

I would estimate the sound to be about a 7. We have a one story ranch so if keys are at other end of the house, we can hear the alarm as long as no tvs or radio are on. If were on another level, we would have to take it to that level and press it there to get it to beep on that level to hear it. Hope this helps. I often leave keys in my coat pockets, this thing has already saved me a lot of time!

I am not aware of any adjustment for the sound level. On the other hand, I didn't find it to be very loud; I actually missed it a couple of times when I needed to add ingredients and got busy in other parts of the house. It only beeps a couple of times anyway.

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.

Most likely a defect, nothing has been listed about a beep less updated version. I would consider yourself lucky though unless there are other malfunctions. The beep on mine is ludicrously loud.

My collar do not have such option. I'm not sure if any new versions have such option but I don't think your dog can be "beeped" anyway unless it is remote controlled.

Once the dog gets the hang of it, I've found that I can set the collar to beep only (no shock) and it's still effective. I assume that extends the battery life because it doesn't have to charge / maintain the shock system. The real problem is dead batteries from a new package.

Yes, it beeps. I purchased this collar for our invisible fence brand containment and it has worked perfectly!

hi, I don't remember seeing this... *But be warned of the possibilities of it not working :( We have a dog that lives next door that makes us so miserable with his barking.... Every time the dog barked .... I also heard a HIGH PITCHED sound inside the house that was killing my ears!

Forgot to add that I leave the collar fairly loose, and 99% of the time, just use the warning beep. Only needed to hit shock twice in two years.

It is loud but not so you can hear it on a different floor. If it was that loud I would not want it. When I go to an area that is far away I TAKE IT WITH ME TO THAT AREA. The unit is light so there is no problem. It beeps for about 30 seconds before it shuts off.

There is a beep/tone warning button and then a button to stimulate/shock them. It has not been effective for us. You have to keep reactivating it. Although it is waterproof. Doesn't seem to work when we want it to. We have a PetSafe invisible fence system that works excellent for our yard. We wanted something to operate manually when we go to our land. And this has not been helpful.

I don't know if you mean how loud is the unit when it is operating, or how loud is the "beep" that tells you your food is ready, so I'll answer both. When it is operating it is almost silent. The beeps at the end are soft. To my mind they're not loud enough. On a scale of 1 - 5 I'd give them a 2 or 3.

I just tested my alarm. It's SUPER loud (loud enough you can hear it a block away.) I don't think you can hear it 2-acres away though.

Those are my sentiments exactly. I installed the alarm a little over a year ago and have looked around for something with a louder audible but have been unsuccessful in finding anything that will resolve the weak electronic chime that comes with the system. Maybe if the manufacturer gets enough requests for a louder more distinctive sound they will provide a replacement or at least market a chime that's louder
