how does the alarm sound?

I'm guessing By battery connection to little speaker and a couple of wires. LolHard to explain, it isn't a bell sound. Not real loud but loud enough to maybe be heard from another room, for person to be able to say " get away from my bank."It kind of has the sound of a car alarm if wrong code is entered after 3 attempts. Not extremely loud, but loud enough to thwart siblings if owner is around.

It's not crazy loud or anything like that .. it's a series of beeps. Just to let you know though it's very hardy and my son still plays with it daily.he's 4 soon to be 5.

I just got mine in the mail and I can assure you that it sounds NOTHING like a door chime. The beep mode sounds like our microwave beeping to let us know that our food is done cooking. We don't have any problem hearing it. The alarm is very loud and sounds like a high pitched siren.

No, it doesn't have an alarm. It simply stops working. It is nearly silent when it runs, so I doubt you will hear it when it stops. I love mine!!

If it has an alarm then I have not used it. It is a bluetooth iPod speaker system. I use it for music; and excellent sound system!William Boon

I've used the alarm a few times and as far as I can recall it acted like a normal alarm. I don't remember a gradual increase or decrease. Most of the time I have my iphone plugged into it and use the iphone alarm function. The sound comes through the iHome's speakers.

it does have an alarm...you can set it to a radio station or the alarm that's built in it...but no choice of different sounds...

Sounds defective. I dont think there was a way to silence the alarm otherwise.

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

The audible tone/beep is fairly loud, though not obnoxious. I think it's loudness will depend entirely on its location. Under a cushion, for example will have the expected muting effect. In most situations you will find the alarm sufficient, from my experience.

Set the alert feature to "siren" mode and it will sound relentlessly. At its highest volume setting, I can not fathom anyone sleeping thorough the siren on this thing. If you do, then you need to have your hearing tested!

There is a "home" function, that will sound, without activating the external, optional, siren. The built in tone is not very loud, if you were sleeping a few rooms over, it would not wake you. This is why the external siren is a must have, it is quite a bit louder, but honestly, for forty bucks, it is not very impressive, decible wise. This unit is only effective to alert people in the house, as far as hearing anything outside the home, it is not loud enough to scare off an intruder.If I was to buy again, I would look elsewhere.

No it does not make sound. It is only the Sensor, it would need to be connected to a Security system with a separate alarm

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.

Chime has multiple setting, alarm, high and low. Be advised that the low setting is still loud enough to be heard almost anywhere within my two story residence.

When it plays music on the alarm function, is it music only, or the alarm sound as well? (I have one that simultaneously also beeps while it's on wake with music, I do not want one like that ever again.)

The alarm sound plays off the receiver. It's loud as all hell but that's the part in your house. It will annoy you before the neighbors.

Yes! I use the sleep machine app. And the alarm sounds over that. Hope this helps
