How loud are the chimes?

I bought this clock for my son, so have forwarded your question to him. I do know that they are not very loud, as I don't remember noticing them when we were at his home.

The chimes are very soft. They are a nice timbre so you can hear them but they are not disturbing. Certainly not loud enough to wake you up or anything.

You can hear them at least 15 0 20' away. They can also be shut off. The sound of the chimes is wonderful--very 'bell like.'

They are very quiet. You can only hear them if you are pretty close to the clock. I grew up with a Seth Thomas wind-up ship's clock that had LOUD chimes that could be heard pretty much anywhere in our house. While our family was used to the sound, visitors were kind of freaked out. Definitely was a conversation starter, though. With this clock the chimes seem intended to provide a nice nautical touch without letting everyone within 50 yards know what time it is.

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.

Not at all too loud. It's very quiet. But remember the duct tape for covering those HOT metal arms.

No, it is not LOUD. It is barely adequate. But it is clear enough. I would never buy it again, not at half the price.

Not loud at all. I have it on the ceiling in my basement workshop, and I do not wear hearing protection. Even on highest speed it is quiet.

Sound is medium loud, best I can describe. I believe you could hear it several rooms away, unless a TV was blaring or something. Important: Do not expect this bell to ring 100% of the time, sometimes it will not ring if you open the door softly or gently. Best feature: this bell looks quite nice.

It's not overly loud, but it's definitely higher pitched than a regular fan. I run a regular fan at night anyway, so I barely hear it.

Not too loud at all...I'd characterize it as a moderate humming noise that I don't find offensive...I've traveled with it only once and the noise level was very tolerable

I do not think they are loud at all. I have them on a 2003 Tahoe Z71 and I cant hear them even with the radio off.

No. Agree it's not annoying. It sounds like a standard two-tone chime--ding, dong. I have a rather large home and do not always hear it from the upstairs master bedroom--furthest room from chime.

I have two, purchased at different times. I have had no problem hearing the chime with either one.

Volume is on the side, lo-med-hi. There is a set button, if I remember correctly that changes the chimes.

They are quite loud. One of the more notable aspects of these speakers is how loud they are.

Hummm.. It is audible above average tones? If that is what you are asking.. I've used my set by placing one in each room. It's not extremely loud, but it gets heard, even when watching A movie on TV. My children can hear it in their rooms when I call above all the noise teens are accustomed to. Works for me!

Loud enough where I can here them five or six feet away if they are up too loud. Then I tell my husband he has them too loud, turn them down. I cannot give you decibles but the range goes from hardly able to hear to very loud. The batteries dont last too long for us though. We use rechargeables.

More than loud the pitch is intense and easy to identify. For your need, it may be better an electronic chime with a softer sound.

Not loud that loud. I can watch tv and walk on the fast pace up to 3 mph without turning up the volume. For me this has been the best one we have owned.

Not overly loud, I run mine inside a separate building and can't hear it inside my house. You certainly would not won't to be in the room with it for ant length of time.
