Is this powerful enough to block a door slamming every couple minutes? I live right next to the bathroom in my dorm...

I believe they will. I have had them on with a TV playing in the same room and have been able to go to sleep.

No, it is not very good. I don't use it. Only used it one time, it was not very good at keeping noise out. I am planning on giving it to a kid to play with.

It would probably knock the sound down enough, but I'd also ask the house management to do something to slow the door down as it closes to make it less noticeable.

You will still hear it, but not as loud. It muffles sounds more then completely getting rid of the sound. My daughter uses them for school and she loves them.

It's worth a try for the low price. Every night my wife gets up and closes the door as she leaves. I can't even tell that she is gone. Granted she doesn't "slam" the door, but before the ear muffs, I could hear it loud enough to wake me up. I doubt that your door slamming is any louder than my wife's window rattling SNORING!

You can adjust the sound level to your personal preference from soft to loud. I wouldn't say loud is blasting but it is certainly sufficient. I have mine on low because it is irritating and I set it so it beeps twice if anyone opens the door as a personal preference.

It is really loud. but if you use it in a big room - like a bedroom - and close the door - not so bad. but if you use it in the bathroom - which is usually small - and close the door, you can hear the noise in like the whole house. but the noise is the only negative

I think that might work. It would stop the sound once closed. A motion detector might also work. This brand works great.

No, it is not loud at all. I also live in a dorm room and my room mate was surprised on how silent it is

I don't remember it being very loud; just very weak power. It will probably work OK for that purpose.

I am a really light sleeper so it would wake me. If you are going to use it as a passage way in a bedroom you might consider not installing the plastic flaps. JUST install the door.

We put ours beside the door, just right into the wall, making sure it touched the door and rang when the door was open. My office-mate put it up. It turned out to be a little loud for our purposes, because our door opens into a hallway and there are classes in session right down the hall. We put a couple pieces of tape inside the bell where the clanger would hit and it muffled the sound just enough!

Well if you live with room-mates who would prefer some peace of mind this is what you might be aiming for but if you like your music really loud, you'd be better off looking for something more powerful. This worked for me and is plenty loud.

If your floors are carpeted, that would help. I also think it might depend on your particular apartment building and how much noise you hear from your neighbors. The rebounder isn't especially noisy.

I assume you mean a through wall or window unit. Yes it should absorb sound however you have louver where the air blows into the room which will allow the units noise to transfer into the room. You aren't going to make the unit whisper quiet but it might bring some of the noise floor down. Certainly cheap enough to give it a shot.

Neighbors would definitely would not complain. It is not very loud. I always run at 2/3 capacity and find it is at a very tolerable level. I can imagine putting a towel under it and you almost wouldn't hear it. hope this helps/ i am very happy with this machine.

I would not want to try to carry on a conversation in the same room where the fan was running. We had it installed in a bedroom window at the far end of the house and it was still way too loud.Make sure you read the other reviews and see how many of these fans have failed in a very short time. The 'replacement' that was sent to us when the first one failed after just a couple months was even worse.

if it is in your kitchen and you have your bedroom door wide open you'll likely hear it (depending on the distance). The sound is a smooth constant sound though. Its not like a crazy rattling noise. The unit is great though. its not fancy it just works really well. the fan is obviously what circulates the air and dries things so efficiently. i bet there are some quiet ones that dont work very well. and there may be some quiet ones that work well, but probably no where near this price.

The brochure says 1 second will knock down, any longer will temporarily disable. I haven't used it on anyone, but the sound alone is scary. Look on the web site

NO! I have installed this one in my shower room and after a while it produced weird loud noise that nothing could get rid off. So I think its not a proper fan for this type of use.

It's noisy. It vibrated a lot. I live in an apartment and I didn't want to disturb the neighbors. Now this thing lives in my closet.
