Is it loud enough at volume for a back yard?

Absolutely not! It is a good little speaker to amp up the volume at your desk, but it won't take the place of a more expensive speaker by any means. It actually doesn't have enough volume to fill a room. I like it and would recommend for use under limited circumstances, but I bought it only to use with my phone. I would say that it increases the volume by about 25% at the maximum. You have to be near a power source, because the connecting cord is very, very short. I like it and it was worth the money, but the text advertising it greatly exaggerates its power, volume, and tone quality. For the back yard, this speaker would be useless. Absolutely not!

It depends. If standing around a patio table, I would say yes. A big backyard with a lot of people and noise, probably not.

You need to use it in the garage or front/back porch....not in the house. It's not loud enough to bother neighbors.

Not very loud, I shoot it in my backyard in a subdivision with no problems.

Well, I haven't used it outside but I use it in my living room and listen in the kitchen while I'm working. I really like it but as far as range ... it depends on how well you hear. It can be very loud... Im probably not much help but it is really loud.I have never maxed it out.

It is fairly loud. Nothing that is going to cause issues with neighbors though

If you mean is it loud enough to several rooms away....the answer is yes. I usually keep it on low for thatreason.

That's difficult to say due to the noise encountered at a beach. At a park or back yard setting, I would say yes. I would want to try one out before investing. Sorry, can't say more.

I use it out in the yard; it is plenty loud for maybe 10 people. In fact, I have to turn it down so we can talk most of the time. If there are more than 10 people, however, I would imagine the crowd din would drown it out.

It is loud enough. I have had it for almost two years and I turn it on when I get ready to leave my home. I can hear it over the shower. Sometimes when I am cleaning I can hear it over the vacuum. So it being outside it might be. Open spaces may not be the best cuz the sounds needs something to bounce off of. If you are just looking for something to have in the background for outside it is perfect.

(I have used this for years and I love it.) RE: noise factor, it seems like it could be loud enough on the higher 2 settings. Frankly, I haven't asked my neighbors!!

Quite loud. Well it depends how close you are to your neighbors, but if you leave in a house I don't think it will wake them up.

I dont think it is loud enough to disturb your neighbors, but it might annoy your dog if you have one.. :-)

I don't think it'll sound like a 50-watt amp in your backyard, but it will crank out enough sound to entertain folks hanging out on your patio or some smaller outdoor area like that. This is just a guess, as I only use my Oontz XL indoors. I rarely ever turn it up to full volume, and it performs quite nicely.

I put mine on my back gate(6') fence, & I can hear it from the front walk appx. 100 feet away - it is a clear tone

It is loud enough for me but it is not extremely loud can not hear it if I am outside.

Honestly, I can hear it. It is not super loud but if I get close to it, I can hear it. It seems to work but I had to buy several because I have a large yard and it just moved them to other parts of my yard.

Sorry, but I don't really know. I plan to try mine for outdoor noises this summer in various locations. It probably will pick up not too distant noises. The times I have used it. It has been inside.
