I can't hear turkeys until they are 100 yards away or elk bugles until they 300 yards. Hard to locate and take action. Will these Help?

No. You need the more powerful over the ear type. Also the micro completely in the ear devices are fragile and a poor design.

work great on the range but I normally use an electronic muff for shooting so I can hear others.

It looks like everyone has already answered the questioin re the ample volume. Just want to make some comments that might help newcomers: Use the aperture(s) that are supplied, that will decrease the distance and sensitivity, if animals are a problem. Also I use mine on an electric timer so that it is only active at night. ALso don't aim the sensor at nearby bushes or trees because they will trigger the sensor during windy conditions. You can always find the perfect location that will provide adequate protection against human intruders.

Scott, I just bought one and its the best I have used or seen for power and accuracy. I suggest you use a heavy pellet for max impact for hunting. Love this one. It will break the sound barrier if you oil the pellets.

I don't know how close your neighbors are so I can't say. I shoot mine from the back deck into the yard and my wife doesn't hear me from inside the house. In truth she is three rooms away from me. I haven't noticed my neighbors paying any attention to me at all. I live in a subdivision and there is a woods behind my yard so it's a couple of hundred feet to the nearest neighbor's house. I'm shooting subsonic so there's no boom. I'm pleased with how quiet mine is.

I am using them to muffle/block the sounds of heavy equipment but not at a firing range, so I cannot reasonably answer your question. Yes, you will be able to hear someone talking to you so you may need ear plugs, too.

Yes to a factor of ten. You can turn them up loud enough to hear yourself breathing, by when you fire a round - nothing. Best money I have ever spent on my hunting gear.

I'm pretty sure it can help with that, mine is outdoors, my neighbor's cat kept coming to my backyard and peeing there, it has really worked to stop that. I use a higher frequency than 1 and still can't hear it. :)

Our neighbor has these and they are obnoxious! My parents don't hear them as well because it is a higher pitch and the older lady that has them assures us that there is NO noise, but I beg to differ. You cannot hear them inside our house, but as soon as I step outside (even if I'm on the other side of our yard) I can hear them. They also drive the dogs nuts causing them to bark every time they hear it!

I'm sure that this product doesn't catch the sound even from a few feet away. I think it only works noise reduction.

No, not really. Great for birds several yards away, but not suitable for miles.

These would definitely help. I have the Exact same problem with the dogs next to me. I wear these earplugs constantly, day and night. I still hear the dogs, but at least the noise is tolerable. I also have 'white noise', the constant drone of a fan in the bedroom, which helps mask the noise. Great 1-2 combination to help me sleep.

There is a small amount of amplification when the volume is high, but it's not very much. In the woods, the natural sounds of bugs, frogs, birds, etc will likely drown out any benefit gained. These are really meant as hearing protection from loud noises, not as hearing enhancers for quiet ones.

I doubt it but can't answer this for sure. Would you not be putting them up higher than your dog might be? The noise is not loud and now because birds don't come there, I never hear it anyway Don

They shouldn't interfere, their range is fairly short and pretty much depends on line-of-sight.

If your hoanuse sit on a lot that is over 10,000 sq. foot . I don't think your neighbor can hear the shot that loud to bother he or she too much unless you use your back yard as a daily training. I use mine probably 3 times a week about 30 minutes and never been told that the noise was unacceptable. As far as the other two brands you mention, sorry I don't have experience with them however I bought another brand prior to RWS it was cheaper but faster and louder and the reason I returned was good power but not very accurate. I recommend this one (RWS) smoother trigger and accurate.

It depends on how close you can get or how loud the sound is. This is not a shotgun mic, so it won't pick up sounds at a distance, but it would be a good environmental mic, if you're in close or hearing sounds all around. Most shotgun mics aren't real stereo. If you were in the woods with birds chirping right and left, this might work out very nicely. If you're going to be using a telephoto lens to video birds 30 or 50 yards away, and you want to isolate that bird's song, then probably not.
