i think it is a standard decible level for alarms - not particularly quiet. Sounds just like the travel alarm I've got.

Reasonably loud. We can still hear it if we are downstairs while it is upstairs if it's quiet in the house. It uses a repeating double beep pattern.

It is loud enough to let you know that time is up, but certainly not obnoxious. I really like my set of cubes!

Yes, the sounds (including nature sounds) can come up at alarm time. It can be loud.I use the night-chirping sounds to make it sound like the window is open, also use the ceiling fan to move the are around. When I'd go to bed early, my wife would come around my side (where the window is) and try to close it because she often thought the window was open (air movement, and sound of crickets). It all helps me sleep.

Hi Mike, the timer isn't to loud, but you can here it if you are in another room, and if you are listening for it. The alarm last for one min. It is a great timer. I have gotten 2 of them. 1 for home and 1 for work :D

The alarm has a couple of settings but even the lowest setting is quite loud. I would think it would wake a heavy sleeper especially set on the highest setting.

If you press it against your ear as you would a phone, you could hear a faint tick. Otherwise, it is quiet. The alarm is surprisingly loud for the size of the clockFYI: The size is 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 1 1/2"

You don't want it loud or you won't sleep.I bought A Sony nature sounds clock radio and it was too loud at full or half volume.Quarter was good.

Sounds defective. I dont think there was a way to silence the alarm otherwise.

What?... huh??? Can't hear anything but this alarm!Quite loud! Let's put it this way, for a little unit... you will want to hold your ears if it goes off!I think it's about 120 db and Pain begins at 125 db... close enough...

The chime is pretty loud. You can definitely hear it from another room. It chimes only once every time you open the door just to alert you. The alarm though is continuous.

I find it amazingly quiet. It's alarm would wake one, but I think that's the intent!

It is very loud but it alarms near the bed the person is in. We used it for my Dad who was not supposed to get out of bed but didn't understand it. What I did was put a baby monitor next to the alarm in the bedroom so I could hear it in another room and then would run in and try to get there before he actually got up. The alarm also tends to go off when the person is just turning over or sitting up in bed.... there are a lot of false alarms. It's not ideal but it's better than not having it. Hope this helps.

If you're a sensitive sleeper and it's in the same room you might notice it a little, but overall the noise would not wake you up. The loudest thing you will hear is the food dropping imo

They do make a very minor click sound. I wouldn't call it loud by any means, but if you're a very light sleeper it could be a problem. I do like that you can set the maximum volume of the alarm and that it starts quiet and works up to the max volume you have programmed. I've never had a clock that does that.

The alarm is not quiet. You can hear it quite well. The clock itself is quiet. You can't hear the ticking like you can in some other noisy ones. And I am very happy about that!

If you had the receiver near you, I'm pretty sure it would wake you. In my case I'm definitely awakened, but that's because of a Shepherd dog who starts barking excitedly when it goes off. She hears it quite well even a few rooms away.

My wife mainly uses it, and sometimes the kids mess with the volume during the day, and when it is set high, the alarm startles us. So yes, it can be loud enough if you want. I think it has a progressive function or setting where it gets louder and louder if you do not turn it off. Hope that helps.

There is a gradual volume control that allows loud to soft. You also have about 25 different alarm sounds to choose from. Works great. Also the base and sensor can be 100 feet apart and still work. I have tried others and recommend this one!
