Is this suitable in an Apt or is it too powerful? My neighbor above me has been noise harrasing me for approx 3 months and I really want to rattle him so maybe he will stop!!! It's literally 24hrs a day. I had to buy Sonic Ear Protection plus a good...

Hi, I am sorry to say, but this unit cannot penetrate through walls. this will make you, or anyone who is in the apt very sick.

i have one installed at 1000W@1ohm and it is incredibly loud without rattling my interior, and hits everywhere. the pressure is too much behind the ears sometimes. Adjusted the LPF filter to be lower and now I get all the vibration w none of the pressure in my head.

Honestly, my units smell so bad, I can hardly think of anything else. I can't say they're terribly noisy, but there's a definite sound. No rattles or buzzes developed, which is often the problem with bedroom units. If you have other options, take them though - once the smell sets in, it can't be fixed!

I have this purifier installed under my kitchen sink. I have to be standing in front of the sink and be closely listening to hear it. If you live in a totally silent house and you're super sensitive to noise, you've shot all the birds because their tweets are too loud. The wife knows to tip toe and speaks in a hush while the kids are certified in noise control (http://www.inceusa.org/about/boardcert). Then maybe...just maybe you'll be bothered by the whisper the system generates while refilling the tank. I am totally satisfied with it....

The rage on these is great. (and is listed as being double the others on the market - I'd believe it.) I can be in the backyard or garage and hear fine. One story house about 2000sq ft. My parents had the same one in a slightly larger 2 story house. No problem.

It's pretty loud and Probably to powerful for a apartment with close range, you will put holes in your wall. Lol it's my favorite gun I have 2 it's pretty loud

I know this isn't the best environment, but I listen to music for 2-2.5 hours every day on my commute, on the subway. How much disturbance would this cause others? My previous headphones were the Sony MDR-V6. I wish I could listen to music in a quieter environment, but I don't have the time, the subway unfortunately is the best stretch of time I have every day.If you think these would disturb others too much, is there a closed model you recommend? I can't see anything by Sennheiser at approximately this price range and quality, that has a closed back.

Of the 3 types of alarms I have had, this is by far the loudest. We currently have it located in a 20'x30' open area, more or less, and there's no way you could not hear it. It echoes since the room isn't furnished yet. We are in the process of building and haven't spent a night there yet to answer about the middle of the night, but I'm very confident that it would, if it were within 15' of your bedroom.

It is not bad, I use it in our garage which is under our house and when I leave the garage and go into the basement I close the door and I don't hear it in the laundry room. I have it on a Formica toped bench, it doesn't walk. Seems to get a little louder the longer it runs so if you only run it for an hour or so, should be Ok. Depends a lot on your neighbors though, it's been 25 years since I lived in an apartment, but I do remember some neighbors could be a problem over anything.

Gosh, that is a hard question. It is as quiet and smooth as they come but honestly, everything makes some noise for the downstairs neighbors. It doesn't vibrate at all. We use it in our basement so maybe I am not the right person to answer, but I think you will be OK. Don't get anything but a Fluid trainer. Everything else vibrates and makes loads of noise.

This little thing is pretty noisey. If you can isolate it you'll be fine, otherwise you'll want a larger one that works less. Good luck

I also live in a condo and I haven't gotten any complaints whatsoever. I can hear the whistle from my bedrooms, which is great. It all depends how thick your walls are.

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.

I use mine in my basement while I am working in the same room. It is not noisy in my opinion. I doubt anyone could hear it through a wall. Set it on a piece of short napped indoor/outdoor carpet or something.

TL;DR, Yes.Not sure how these people don't have noise and not sure what type of oil folks are using. I spray mine with WD40 at least once per day in order to keep it from squeaking and once applied it eliminates any resistance. Tips from other responders would be appreciated but for now I would have to say yes. In fact, the other day my coworkers thought it would be funny to huddle behind me until I noticed it was squeaking (I had headphones in). That wasn't embarrassing at all....

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I work nights and sleep most of the day. Mine sits outside about 15' away from the house and while inside watching tv, you can here it but not loud enough to need to turn up the tv. I have a PVC fence, so the sound does carry a bit more for others but not enough to interfere with their going ons. I kind of like hearing the little noise I get from it, so I also know which of my appliances is giving it a load when it ramps up.

Ahh, a fellow sufferer. But I'm afraid that's the only consolation I can offer. Not only is it likely these earmuffs will NOT completely block all the noise, there is a distinct possibility that you will get headaches if you try to wear them overnight. I speak from experience. I have lived over twenty years in residential hotels, and the very worst thing about life in them is the noise from TV and music. Nevertheless, I presently wear these earmuffs, and the headaches have diminished with use. So there is genuine hope that you may eventually be able to sleep with them. I do so every night. And they are the closest to being soundproof of any earmuffs I have tried. They are better than Peltor's preceding iteration, the 3M Peltor H10A Optime 105. And they are better than Howard Leight's Bilsom 1010970 Thunder T3 NRR30. But there's no such thing as earmuffs that completely block out all sound. Unfortunately.
