I want to use it to annoy some noisy neighbors I have, can it transmit sound trough solid brick wall (3 inches thick) better than a regular speaker?

They might actually like it, because it'll just sound like they have a speaker of their own...

It will make the volume louder but not without distorting the sound. It cannot be used for simply volume, it will always have sound affects too. Thanks Tammy Queen

it'll go as loud as the amplification on the speaker unit. if it's to drive the speaker directly, it's dependant on the sensitivity of the speaker, too many factors for definitive aswer.....sorry

No, this should not be loud at all. There is very little sound coming from my device, definitely not loud enough to be a problem or a distraction. If it's as loud as you're describing, then you definitely have a defective product.

You can't tell because the two small speakers are so close to each other you won't be able to distinguish which sound comes from which speaker. This for personal satisfaction. However, if you plan to blast out your neighbors like most young people do, this is not for you.

Don't think so. We just made sure we placed it in the center of our house out of site so we could hear it. Sometimes it sounds louder than other times. Haven't figured out why yet.

Actually, from what I've gotten out of mine so far it almost sounds better in medium sized rooms. The speaker size and shape directs the sound in a fairly linear way, and doesn't spread very well at short distances, but if you're more than about 5 feet away from them, you should be fine.

It definitely helps to send sound to the front. But, it is still not as good as a front speaker would be.

I use my speaker outdoors when I work out and even though i have it on the highest setting I wish it were just a tad bit louder. I think if the classroom is small it might work.

It will help. You'd need some serious insulation to block all noise. I'd call this a noise reducer.. You would need a LOT of this to block all noise, not to mention it would have to cover every wall.

it will definitely muffle and reduce the transmission of sound, but not completely. also it's not really meant for that purpose, it's primarily meant to go inside the walls

There are various holes in the wall mount that may be large enough for the wall socket, but depending how thick it is it may foul the speaker itself. I would bite the bullet and recess the power outlet.....

Yeah. This sound machine does pretty loud. If it is near by it should do the job.

Not really as there is no box to contain the sound. You would have to build one which seems a waste of time but theoretically possible however may not function as a factory built one. I would look for a traditional speaker with similar specs.

Yes. Make sure that you place it near a wall and the base will sound richer.

Well this truly is a very important point/question/answer. I live in a town house and I need speakers that wont be heard by neighbors, this is the true audiophile's lifestyle problem. What you have said about the sound being heard more in the listening room than in the entire house would actually be a good marketing argument for Martin Logan to promote this speakers. Ill test this out. Thanks guys.

Yes and no. It won't make it louder. You would need to hook your speakers up to an amplifier to make them louder.
