How loud are these? My grandpap is at a home, and needs to get the staff's attention. Would they be loud enough if someone is in another room?

I would suggest they would be as effective as an able person "calling out", so between nearby rooms with open doors they should be OK for this purpose. Ours are too new to comment on sound volume as batteries wear out. They take 2 x AAA batteries and need a small Phillips ("cross") screw driver, so use quality alkalines (like Duracell or Energizer). At the low price for these buzzers, it's a great idea to try for that purpose and, if they don't suit, maybe donate them to your local school? :-)

1-10? They are a 6? They are not that loud. But loud enough for a person to hear in a room close by and loud enough to be annoying. If the place is noisy with lots of TV and Chatter it may get lost. But I think they will work okay for what you want.

They are loud. Hearing them in the next room would depend on any other ambient noise in the area.

No, not too noisy of a room. It would depend which one you were using. Each one has a different sound, so the higher pitched ones would be a better option. We used them a few times in a crowded room, but we still really needed to go off of sight. Everyone had a great time using them still and making songs with them as well.

Very quiet. We can barely hear them. My 55 year old son has fond memories, as a child, of going to sleep to the chimes of a much louder ships clock in the kitchen below his bedroom.

The sound really carrys, i live in a 1 bdrm and we can hear it in all areas. If youre using it as background music cpuld work great. Not sure if those 40 will be talking it may not be loud enough.

I'd tell them yes, they should serve fine as floor monitor in a small space. Turned up loud they can be a bit noisy (hissing), but overall they do the job just fine. We use ours in a loud environment at high volume and it performs just fine.

The beeps are more than loud enough for someone with normal hearing. Unless your father has profound hearing loss he should be able to hear them if he pays attention. I have some hearing loss (I'm 71) but I can hear them from 10 to 15 feet in a reasonable quiet room.

Depends on how loud the person is. They are pretty good with blocking sound. I have to yell for my son to hear me if he's wearing them. Normal talk is pretty hard to hear.

My mother is severly hearing impaired and she loves them and it gives my ears a break from loudness. The house is quiet at night while she watches tv. I suggest buying them brand new from Radio Shack because the ones that I bought from a seller on Amazon were defective and had to be returned. They are worth the money.

They make a mild click sound but it's not too loud. If your house is very quite, I suspect the sound might wake a light sleeper.

I think they are pretty loud. My Mom is hard of hearing and when she stayed with us for a month she had no problem hearing my phone. I recently added one of these phones so I now have two. one in the living room and one in the family room. They have pretty good sound individually and together even better especially on "high" volume setting. In fact, I usually leave the ringer OFF on the one in the living room because the one in the family room is loud enough to hear...that is if you have normal hearing capability. Of course. for hard of hearing, I would leave both phones' ringers on. I guess it would also depend on the size of your home. I hope this helps. I think they are pretty loud.

Noise not too bad, but definitely plenty of noise for privacy, they won't be hearing anything..:)

Yes, they are open air design, so everyone will probably hear what you're hearing if they're in the same room. Because of this, I have not taken mine to work. If you listen quietly you can't hear the sound leaking, but at the level I like to listen (mildly loud) people can easily tell what you're listening to.

Definitely not if they are behind a wall. Even if it is thin. There is plenty of sound leakage, but if they are not in the same room I cannot imagine they would be able to hear it.

kind of a hard question to answer over the internet. They seem loud enough for me and I happen to be a bit hard of hearing.

These block out ambient noises extremely well. But, you can still hear people talking which to me, is a good thing. As far as annoying others... I don't think you'll have a problem with that. It, of course would depend on how loud you have them. When I am sitting next to my husband, I cannot hear them when he is listening to his music through them. I am fairly sensitive to that, especially when I'm listening to something else and I don't want to hear his music. Hope that helps.

The beeps are loud enough to be heard in a quiet house. They are certainly loud enough to give your position away if that is your main concern. I have not found a way of turning the beeps off or even quieting them.

Probably a little louder than we would like but we have 3 of these units, one in our master bedroom, 1 in the living room and one in our basement family room. They are all the same.
