Does it make a noise when you are in tune? I'm looking for one that is silent for an orchestra.

No, but it dose have a function for it to do so if you like. I use it for guitar and sometimes having it give feedback tone is helpful. Tuner is good and Metronome is good... I have no issues with the volume as others have commented on, however I do practice in a quite room.

Yes, it does make a noise when you are in tune, but the sound is optional. It has a button called sound back.

No, it makes no noise made when you're in tune...or out of tune, either, for that matter. My only complaint is the metronome could be louder. Otherwise, absolutely completely satisfied with this metronome tuner combination!

Unfortunately it is NOT a silent version. This unit charges well. However, it does beep frequently once charged. I cannot use it at home because it wakes me up. I contacted the company and there is no way to silence it. Very disappointing.

I found it quite loud enough (before I punctured an eardrum!) In any case you, you can always plug a cable into the 1/8" receptacle and hook it up to an amplifier. The metronome section is entirely separate from the tuning section, but it uses only 1 or 2 tones. The scale of the tuning section is 12 notes (equal temperament only, unfortunately), but its reference tones (which it produces) go from C3 (130.81Hz) to C6 (1046.50 Hz). It can detect tones from C1 (32.70 Hz) to C8 (4186.01 Hz.)

The noise is not loud, instead it is an audible hum. It does not go away and really is a great white noise. After a while you will forget it even hums.

I don't think it is very quiet, making a sort of chugging/humming sound. I'm noise sensitive, so it would bother me if someone was near me while they were using it. If you were in another room, I don't think it could be heard, however.

No, it does not make a noise. My husband and I both own a Hugo and like them very much!

It produces a low hum. It may not be enough noise if you are in a fairly noisy location, though.

Yes. Unrelated - the fine tuner on mine was broken right out of the box. I didn't notice right away as I waited awhile to play it. Other than that it's a beautiful sounding and looking violin.

Mine is silent until it senses metal. With experience you can learn to differentiate the tone with the size and depth of the objects.

No it's totally silent if u want it to be or there is a button to add music.

We have it in our family room and personally, I can't hear it at all. When I concentrate on hearing it, it has a slight hum. The other people that describe it as "loud", either have a defective unit or the fan in their unit just runs a bit louder. Unless you place it in your bedroom, I'd be surprised if you hear it at all.

Actually, no. It's quiet silent. I was surprised to hear it. I thought it would be way more noisy.

Also, Jeff: Even after all the electrical questions are answered, this still makes a low level hum which might be annoying. Having tightened all the external screws on mine, the hum was far less but could still be heard during the silence between musical tracks or even with very quiet passages.

The only noise I hear is when you turn it on. Sometimes you will hear it interchange and sometimes you don't. If it has set off for a while it will make a loud click and hum but it goes away in a couple seconds. Other than that it does not make any sound that is noticeable.

I often have it running in my classroom, even during a test, and it doesn't seem to bother anyone. It's not completely silent but is quiet white noise.

It's dead silent. I have never heard any noise from it. I have two of them. Same result. Hope this helps.

Sharon I hadn't really thought about that but when I read your question I took it out of the box & turned it on. I made sounds as singing different notes and the hand started going to different notes and working. It did just like when I used it to tune my violin. I hope this helps you.
