Forgot to ask how quiet the locator beep is - would it be heard in a reasonably quiet parking lot?

If you are talking about the "handset" that is used to find the locator, it is easy to hear (providing you have normal hearing). The only time I have difficulty hearing it is on very windy days. As you get closer to the locator, you can actually hear it "ping". If course, if you are using this to find your car, you probably won't need to hear it as you will be able to see your car long before you get close to it. I use my set to find my cat and she is very good at hiding.

There is a setting for volume on the 'beeper'. Even with a wind blowing i can still hear it fine.

I can hear the collar usually around the time the handheld picks up the signal. I am in a wooded area and can usually pick it up around 200 yards out.

I'm not sure how long it beeps - I've always had it relatively close by, so I could turn it off quickly. It's a high pitched tone, so the sound carries....not sure if it would carriy between floors, though. It's so small you could put it in your pocket if you were going to be in another part of the house for a while.

It's really not a very loud beep at all. might bother you if you use it in the bedroom. I keep mine at my desk and keep my phone on it most of the day when it's not on me and in use. I hardly notice it anymore and sometimes even have to replace my phone on the pad because i didn't recall hearing the connection beep.

Yes, there is a beep option. Alarm repeats ever couple of minutes for about a half hour in case you have been out of range, outside or such. I find the latter very helpful.

Not a lot, if it's quiet you can somewhat hear it running in the background

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.

We really don't know because it operates out in our garage. But we've never though about it, so it must be quiet.

Yes, but you can't hear it unless the area is very quiet. And you have to be within visible range for the unit to receive the signal from the remote, possibly 20 to 30 feet away. The alarm was very sensitive it was set off by the slightest bump or loud noise including the wind, a car, truck, motorcycle, etc. It is not very loud either. There are no controls to set the sensitivity. Plus the magnet is not strong enough. If you placed the unit on the bottom of your motorcycle and rode away with it most likely it would fall off. It is a very cheap product. I returned this unit and do not recommend buying it. Yes, but you can't hear it unless the area is very quiet.

Hi Eric, yes it does chirp when you turn it on, but no you can't find your in a parking lot, you have to arm the alarm after you turn it on & then you would have to diss-arm it after you are finished with it and after you are finished with using it remember to shut it off or your 9V battery will go dead..

It's not as loud as some i have heard (thinking of my dad's old shopsmith back in the day...that thing could wake up a dead stick). but its noticeable. I have it in my 2 car garage...i can turn it on, shut the door to the garage (it's a typical cheap thin interior door), walk to my bedroom on the opposite end of the house, and shut that door..and i can barely hear it (i could probably sleep with that level). my house has 50 yr old insulation in it's walls. it's reminiscent of a loud vacuum cleaner...no real tinny or metalic noise. hope that helps.

Depends on how far you are. I just walk around the house until I hear it beeping. I also lost an item in a store and thought of the remote and used it to locate it within a store. I could hear it, but had to figure out from where at the front door.... either way, it took me under a minute to find where I'd left it. This wasn't a tiny store either.. can't remember exactly which store, either TJ Maxx or Marshall's. Glad I had it... earned it's keep right then.

If you're talking Baggage Claim at the airport, that would depend on the chaos and noise level around you and how far off it is. You should be able to hear it pretty good once it's on the turnstile. I use mine when away from home to make sure I've packed my items before leaving someone's house or a hotel room, or at the back of the car to make sure I have my kindle, my keys, my cell phone, my wallet and other things that are crucial to have (I have more than one set). I can stand in the hotel room and hear the beeping quite plainly thru my luggage... or just find which bag has the item in it. No problem at all hearing thru the luggage. Just remember that it will only locate/beep back at you if you "hold" the button down. So, my experience has been really good. Distance is great enough for my house and my sister's house, and I've even used it to find keys in a regular Marshall's store. As far as thru walls and stuff... Found stuff in a closet, underneath a seat, in the chair cushion pushed way down, under the bed and other weird and surprising places. Wish they made these for eyeglasses and socks!!

It beeps a bit, not that loud ( not as loud as the microwave for example ) I don't think you can turn it off or make it louder.

It's quite quiet, no problem for next door cubicles, the loudest sound is your feet. The beeps are pretty loud, but only occur when you start and when you change the speed. It does not beep when set up and running.

Unfortunately it is NOT a silent version. This unit charges well. However, it does beep frequently once charged. I cannot use it at home because it wakes me up. I contacted the company and there is no way to silence it. Very disappointing.

The question as asked is difficult to answer because of lack of information. Many factors come into play; Like how old is your detector and what does randomly mean in this case?If the beeping is reasonably spaced, the problem is probably battery related. If your detector is old, it could be telling you to replace the unit (SURPRISE! they do not last forever).As far as the battery compartment goes - check with the installer and make sure that it has not been locked. These units can be used in homes and small businesses, so they include a pin that can be inserted to lock the battery compartment. If it is not locked, remove it from the bracket and gently pry it open. The question as asked is difficult to answer because of lack of information.

You should be able to hear a noise if the unit is working. Just remember that it is not a continuous beep so you need to wait 30 to 60 seconds between the noise pulses.
