There is on/off sound button. I think his parents and your nephew will love this toy like us :)

I have wooden floor too and the sound so far has not been annoying. Its low when running and thomas talking is not bad. I was happier with this toy than the remote cars. My son loves it.

It is approximately that loud. I think it would make people turn and look, not run, which is more helpful to you. At Disneyland, it rings loud enough for the distance. In an art museum, it would be crazy loud. my issue is that my kid wants to Play with it all the time. Hard to keep on her.

I was just wondering if you ever compared them after this post? We are considering both vehicles too for our 2 children, one who is big for his age as well. We plan to try and see them at the store together (if possible) but I found your post and wondered what your result was? Thanks

Yes. My nephew (4 yo) loves this toy. Sleeps with the alarm on much to my brother's dismay. Best gift ever.

Hi! I bought it for my son who is 3.5 years old and he loves this very much. If your child is into Hot Wheel Cars and other varieties of trucks and cars I can imagine he'd have a good bit of fun with this. All levels of the Rig adjust to lower and off load the cars, it's well made, fun, great for imagination. I can easily see at that age though - depending - that it could be an item easily grown out of. Each parent knows their child best. The toy as I said is fantastic-O though. Hope this helps. Maybe something like a remote controlled car or some of those larger monster Hot Wheels Trucks would be better suited if you find this isn't to your liking. Good luck shopping. :)

I gave this toy to grandson for 5th bday.Phrases mostly gives info about this Dino; he does growl some, as a Dino would. Command responses are jokes to ur " make me laugh", moves to commands. Must say, grandson has most of these dinos and has not found any to b scary. :-)

I will have to ask my husband regarding the "facts" question. However, I must admit that I'm not sure I would buy this toy for my 4 year old son again. It's difficult for it to transform. My husband has to do it ever time. And it doesn't really move on it's own. Just says things every now and then. And they are somewhat difficult to turn off. If you have any of the other Switch N Go Dinos - in comparison, this one fails. It's much more flimsy, etc. I know it's a spendy purchase. My son wanted Jagger too, but I convinced him to go a different route. He just doesn't play with it all that often. I will have to ask my husband regarding the "facts" question.

I am very careful about what language we use around the kids and the only issue I had was Jagger saying "I hate ..." when he was talking in the dinosaur mode. Our kids are not allowed to use the word hate (they are 4 and 5.5) as we do not believe it belongs in their vocabulary. Other than that, Jagger's pretty harmless and a huge success in this house! ... We JUST NOW opened it :)

Mine doesn't sound bad at all. There is one plate that sounds a little off from the rest and that's it. Agree with previous answer - this is a toy. It sounds better than the Fisher Price one. Good luck.

My son is 5 right now and is very into switch and go dinos! He got his first one at age 4. I could see older kids (6-7) not being as interested.

My 19 month old and his younger "friends" play with it all the time, as you can imagine; it takes a lot of abuse. Just be ready to hit the 'off' button when they get it into the super-redundant tune mode.

It's not annoyingly loud, but it is loud enough carry a few feet. My son loves it! This toy is one of my sons top 5 favorites!

I just got online to check review of the Little Mommy real loving doll. My daughter received this doll for Christmas and it makes the LOUDEST noises when the doll moves, especially when she moves her arms down, it sounds like it is a very loud grinding noise, it doesn't sounds normal. she talks fine, but am wondering if it is defective b/c it is so loud/robotic/grinding when she moves.

I would say the toy is too young, my daughter (who I got it for) is now 2, and she will push the button and play, but not really for very long. But if it's a new toy to them, they might. Just my opinion.

This is totally subjective, obviously. :-) We don't mind it, but we live in a big house with no neighbors, so we're not that sensitive to noise. It is not really loud IMHO, and the noise isn't really obnoxious (like a fire engine, etc.). I would say if you live in a small space like an apartment with thin walls you might think twice, or if you are the type of family that asks your kids to use their "inside voices" a lot. I think the only time it would get annoying is in the very beginning if your child just won't put it down and plays with it constantly. But since that would likely be short lived anyway, meh. It's a toy that makes noise, but I've never been bugged by it and my son usually plays with it inside.
