Is the sound of the water falling loud? I want to place it at my fence line which is 25 ft away from my patio area.

Sound not loud - can hear soft water sound about 20 ft. away. Your supplier does not have model # 566740 & sent unacceptable replacement - what a mess!

The sound is not very loud, I don't think you would hear it from 25 ft. away.

You won't hear it unless you're within 10 - 15 feet. Also depends on how full it is.

It is loud.... but enjoyable! My only complaint.... the water here discolors plastic of the pump and the barrel.... really like the fountain though.

No. It's probably no louder than running water into a 5 gallon bucket with a water hose.

I was quite impressed with the water flow, with the barrel come a Little Giant pump that could be smaller in GPH, but really puts out ALOT of water!(the pump is worth the price of the entire item) The sound is excellent, as I have one setup inside my store and can hear it outside of the customers are quiet!

No, I would not purchase this fountain again because it's too loud. I would definitely change to another fountain.

If you turn it up all the way it can sound like a small outdoor fountain. I turn mine up to where the water hits the base where it starts to expand. I normally don't here anything with it set there.

It can be loud at times. Not all the time, but it happens at random. Sounds like a large caliber rifle. Not a 12 gauge. So it may scare a neighbor if they are outside.

My installation is on an outside wall under a covered porch. There is plenty of volume. I get quite a bit of wind noise but have never tested the audio quality.

It does make some noise like water hammer after releasing the float. I guess that is not unusual.

Audio is limited and probably insufficient in a party environment. I use mine outdoors while relaxing in our spa and the volume just about exceeds the hum of the circulation pumps. It is also water resistant or splash proof. I would not suggest submerging it but certainly holds up in a light rain.

I have the bell attached to the top of a back gate (on 6' fence, appx. 30 feet from rear patio door)It has a clear tone that I can hear in the rear two rooms of the houseI believe you could hear it quite well if you put it near the door, although I'm not sure of the durability of the metal attachment rod if used for your purpose, it is light as is the bell itself, the movement of the gate makes it ring easily .... I hope this is helpful to you :)

it is ok -- when you buy an outdoor water restiant speaker that I use in the shower you do not need the best quality with all the ambient sounds from the shower or outside with the wind blowing or dog barking. I am happy with the unit.

I put it on a fence gate and it rings, but it is not super loud. I don't know if it can be heard 75 ` away.

Yes, our pool is about 20 feet back from our house. It tends to go off when we get a bad rain storm, I can hear it from inside with everything shut and the rain pouring. I don't know how much ducks disrupt the water so you might have some trouble fine tuning the sensitivity but eventually you'll get it right. Also if the only goal of this is to keep the ducks gone just save yourself the earache and throw away the indoor receiver.

The motor is very quiet, don't hear it at all but it does have a strong waterfall sound. Sounds like you are in a spa, so if you find the water noise soothing you should be good. If you are looking for very quiet then this one might be too loud for you.

I'm not sure if it's normal but mine does the same thing. A lot of water flowing onto the ground on the back patio. I'm happy it's working for you.

It's quite quiet to me. I'm a fairly light sleeper. When the water level drops down, it will make a bubbling noise but its by no means loud.

It's noticeable but not the worst I've heard. Putting it up high (be careful, drippage) might block it. We had music and the noise wasn't a problem. Can definitely talk over it.Please be aware that I personally had TERRIBLE dripping problems with mine but perhaps it was a defective item. Best of luck if you purchase!

We have had it on the porch, a few feet away from us. Yes, it can be on the patio. The unit makes a low humming noise, but not bothersome at all.

It's not very noisy if you just use water. If you add ice, it is a little noisy at first. There is no air outlet to the outside.
