Do these make the irritating loud beeps at all--even when letting you know the battery is low? Our dog is SOOO scared of that noise.

The low battery alert on these smoke detectors is a small beep. However, when they sound off due to a fire or test of the alarm, they are very loud and repeating. Of course, that's a good thing as you want both you and your dog to be running from the alarm and out of the house. They are truly the best smoke detectors we've ever owned.

I think it give 3 beeps but they sometimes will still bard. It will give the warning beep before they begin barking. Mine does not vibrate just beeps and shocks. It doesn't seem to hurt them. I had one today that didn't bark without the collar but just ran around the table inside and outside for 2-3 hours. Hyper dog I think. I thought she would have a heart attack.

Loud, they are not. And they rattle more than ring. Had the same idea of stringing together and hanging on a fence as a sort of alarm when the gate was opened. They might let you know the puppy was at the fence but I don't see them being noisy enough to scare the puppy back.

My first question is why would it be beeping inside? The sound is for the dog to warn them when they get near the perimeter of the line...if they continue to go in that direction, they will be zapped. They learn that no beeping means they are safe.

Yes some make a sound louder than others. I think they run on different frequencies. I've never had any pest in my whole yard so they all work. I know they work because I notice the holes in my neighbor's yards. They all wonder why I don't have any holes and I tell them gophers don't like little dogs. I haven't even told my kids what they are.

I wish I knew which is newer, but I don't. As for the beep, I don't think mine does, but with my hearing loss (about 50% overall, and most of my high-frequency) it might. If you mean a beep at the collar, I don't think mine do that. They will either vibrate or shock. I have been a bit disappointed in my units, in terms of their range. The dogs have to be closer to the sending unit than the instructions would have you believe. Hope this helps.

I have actually bought 3 bark collars for my dog! None of them seem to stop whining. I don't mind whining, because my dogs bark is very high pitched and loud, making my ears ring for weeks if he's close to me and barks. I find a spray bottle w/water works wonders. I've never had a whiny dog (he does whine sometimes w/bark collar on.) The directions all say not to put it on the dog during play; that is when my dog barks the most! I then carry a water bottle, and that does the trick. Perhaps you can try that w/whining.

It won't bother the neighbors but you can hear it. It beeps fairly long like 15 beeps or so. There is like 20 second delay before it will activate again. We live in the country and have to unplug it at night because the deer keep triggering it.

You can test it. May be is the battery. With my dogs, some of them get used to the shock, and don't stop barking.

YES! Now keep in mid we used a cheap, loud one prior to this so its all relative, but our dog is terrified of noise and this doesn't bother her.

Yes. The key is to make sure he can feel it through his fur first. We have a large lab and has thick fur, so I tightened it and made sure it was up under his jaw/ear after he felt the first couple zaps and associated the beeps now it can be loose all he has to hear is the beeps and he backs off.

I don't think the beeps are too loud. They seem to be the same volume as our toaster oven. No annoying reminder beeps!

that's all to it. if the unit is not defective it should make an audible beep every minute or so.time will tell if it really gets rid of creatures.

There is no way that I know of to stop the beeping but... it's only for a few seconds while you set your session. I don't find that annoying at all.... I would rather have the buttons illuminated so I can see them in the dark. I have to have a flashlight beside the chair now so I can see the buttons to set them!

The beeps are loud enough to be heard in a quiet house. They are certainly loud enough to give your position away if that is your main concern. I have not found a way of turning the beeps off or even quieting them.

Just don't use the shock button ever. Thats what I do. My little on responds to the beep and if she is really really out of her mind barking the vibration stops her in her tracks. :-)

Surprisingly, this beep is a deal breaker for me. My cat just HATES those beeps. Good to know about them.
