How loud is it at the lowest setting - hopefully not obnoxious? And is the volume adjustable on the fly?

At the lowest setting it makes no noise at all. That's because the adjustment valve, which is located on the horn itself and not the tank, is essentially infinitely adjustable. It's just a rotating valve that allows less and less air through until it lets no air through the line at all. But you need to turn it almost completely off for any affect. And yes, it is certainly adjustable on the fly.Having said that, I don't know why you'd ever want this on anything less than the loudest setting. If you're trying to alert a car that you're there more volume is always a plus.

Just turn it to the loudest setting, if not then just get a ding, ding bell. Why get a horn this loud if you turn it down. You want it loud, it might save your life.

I ride in a super busy car intensive area, so I have only used the horn at full power. I can tell you that changing the power, on the fly, is nearly impossible. However, even at full power, I can modulate the sound by just lightly pressing the button. This works well for pedestrians. Safe riding, hope this helps. Again, I think this is a great product.

If you adjust it its not bad. Yes you can adjust it on the bike you just turn the white tab.

The knob controls the air pressure. I've never turned it down but the volume is pretty low when the air pressure gets down to about 40psi. When the air pressure is at its' max it can get attention of drivers in vehicles. As recommended in the instructions you don't want to blast the horn right behind an elderly person or anyone with a weak heart.

On the side of the horn there is a +(on) and -(off). That would be the only way of adjusting, but from personal experience it didn't make it any quieter by putting it in the middle. Its basically on or off, and how hard you hit the button is the only possible way.

The volume on mine is adjustable to a quite reasonable low volume, however the volume control is tiny and imprecise.

Not overly loud. You won't be able to hold a conversation, but it's not deafening.

The low speed is pretty quiet, which is where I usually set mine. After I turned it on, I hardly noticed it at all. The high speed was louder, but I seldom set mine on high. The medium speed are just about that - medium to medium loud.

It's quite a bit louder, not extremely loud though. I recommend it though. Sounds pretty good. I've gotten many compliments, and you can't beat that price.

On low not at all. It is noticeable on medium and I think high would be too loud

Its not very loud at all, I wish I had a decibel meter to answer you properly, but I will say you hear more of a "whoosh" from the air moving than anything. It also depends on the setting because while none of the settings are loud by OTR vent standards, the lowest setting is very soft. We've never had to yell to converse with one another even on the highest (loudest) setting. I hope this helps.

It can make a fairly loud sound. there is a volume control so you can adjust it level of sound.

There are four volume settings and the lowest volume would be fine for an apartment. If you think that is too loud, I put a piece of scotch tape over the speaker hole and the volume got even quieter.

The higher setting is rather loud. The lower setting isn't as bad, but it's not quiet.

It is very loud. So much so I find it offensive. I do know a person very hard of hearing can hear it. I like it very much. I have others and I find this one the best. Good luck!!

On low, it's not loud at all. Since it's a larger fan, it's a bit quieter than the small diameter ones. On the Hi setting, it may be a little loud for your purposes, but I haven't hunted much so am not sure what's considered loud for you. I still think it's worth a try for you for the price to get two of them...

Mine is quiet but it depends on which setting you use. If it's on the lowest and is still very loud then there is an issue.

There is a Hi and Lo setting, I have it set on low, and sitting in the window behind the drapes, and it isn't that loud.

There is a bit of that although I don't personally find it overly annoying. The sound is mostly mid-range white noise which is good for me as I am a day sleeper and need to drown out other noises. Hope this helps.

Yes, its very good at lower volume. My wife doesn't like very loud music, so that's I have it most of the time. We also have a very small house.

Not loud at all. I am a very light sleeper and it hasn't disturbed me yet. Very happy with it.

When it's on the lowest setting it makes a low motor sound. On medium and high it is definitely louder. High is almost too noisy for me.
