Can someone give me an idea of how loud this toy is? Also, is there a volume control feature? My child is pretty sound sensitive.

This one has no volume control. However, it has 2 switches, one for the "suction" and one for the beads spinning so they can be run together or separately. Overall, I would say it is not very loud compared to other toy vacuums, especially if you only run the bead cyclone part. For comparison, I'd say it's pretty similar to running an electric mixer. Hope this helps.

I don't think its very loud at all. A quiet whir. I wish I knew what to compare it to. The rinse cycle on a dishwasher? Low setting on a hair dryer?

This should not affect your child. My great grandson used it for four hours straight on Christmas morning at my home. All he wanted to do was vacuum. Would recommend it.

There are two on/off switches; one for the popping balls and one for the vacuum sound. Neither of the sounds are very loud...not anywhere near a real vacuum, anyway. The vacuum sound is comparable to a fan on low. Our one-year old grandson loves this toy.

Its not terribly loud, there is no sound control, however I will worn you it broke within the first week with my 2 year old son right where the base of the vacuum connects to the swivel ball. Its plastic and a clean break making it impossible to fix.

Yes there is a volume control. You can use that as well as your ipod to control the volume. When you reach the highest volume on it, it well give you a double beep. I usually crank it to the highest level and then use my ipod to control the volume. It really is a neat little item, - I don't think you would be disappointed. I use mine in the bathroom alot while showering and can hear it well enough with the glass shower door closed.

I have to disagree. The train is very loud. It is either on or off, no volume control. I don't think that it takes away from how much the kids love it, but it would be hard to hold a conversation for very long with this thing blasting in the same room.

I'm pretty sure the toys with sound just cost more. My boys love this one. My mom bought the boys another vehicle that has sound with it and they don't really use the sound feature that much. But they again play with the toy a lot.

I wouldn't say it's loud. Just like most other kids toys really. There isn't a volume button as such but there is a button on the right that will toggle through different beats/tunes before turning the background tunes off at which point only the drums make a noise when hit.

Yes there is a volume control. Press the up and down arrows on the outside of the big circle in the center of the player.

The volume can't be turned up. Although I so think its loud enough for a Child to hear. Due to there keen hearing. I'm sometimes great-full that it is quiet. My daughter loves to use this phone. It seems to be loud enough for her to hear. I hope this helps. Take care, and enjoy your little one.

It is not that quiet on loud, but not terribly loud either. You should not have to hold it to your ear on loud, although it is not as loud as many toys (which is why it is more tolerable to everyone else in the room or car who have to hear it over and over!)

It is not very loud which we like since most baby toys are way too loud. My Niece loves it and has no problem hearing it. Their pediatrician has recommended low volume toys since babies are just developing.

It's actually not too loud. I use it for my toddler so he knows when we are transitioning to new activities. I have a baby and she can sleep through it entirely. It's not obnoxious loud and it is not too quiet either. My mother in law uses this for her class and she loves it.

Yes. It has volume control and sleep timer. The soft plastic construction has no sharp corners. The controls are easily looked and kids can only change songs and start / stop the player. The device is well build and the AA battery gives a good play time. Our device is now almost 6 years old and survived 2 kids! ;)

I just got online to check review of the Little Mommy real loving doll. My daughter received this doll for Christmas and it makes the LOUDEST noises when the doll moves, especially when she moves her arms down, it sounds like it is a very loud grinding noise, it doesn't sounds normal. she talks fine, but am wondering if it is defective b/c it is so loud/robotic/grinding when she moves.

Pretty loud. It's good if you're in another room, but loud when you're right next to it. And sorry, no volume control.

Actually, we have one for each of our twins, and their cribs are pretty close together. On the lowest volume setting it isn't too loud or chaotic, and each child will be able to entertain themselves once they're a bit older. (They're 4 months old now.)

It has a volume control that goes upte loud. My wife has it on in our RV and we are near the hwy at the resort and I can't hear any traffic. She does not have it very loud either.

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.

Hi Dee,I bought this almost 2 yrs. ago for my GS. I don't remember a volume control but there were some controls. I do remember it did "record" and could be played back. It was fun to watch as my DIL & son got into the act. : )
