Bought this for a friend - description says the loudest is 110db - don't know what the lowest is, but I believe there are five choices - anyway, my friend says it's very loud - several times he's been sitting outside in his car, and heard it from the kitchen (on the opposite side of his house) - his car door was open and his house door was also open - he also says he was inside his pump house (water) and heard it from inside his kitchen (door closed) which would have been between 40 and 50 feet away - he loves it - the switch on the water pump needs replacing, must be turned on/off manually, and he's let the tank run over a few times because he didn't hear his old timer - BUT NOT SINCE HE'S HAD THIS TIMER!

AMAZING loudness! I'm swimming in a pool with a fountain and a loud kreepy crawly going on AND a special stereo that holds my iPod which I have on loud enough to cover those noises and the dog next dog barking, and I can hear the alarm when it's set to only 50%! I don't think I've ever used it higher than that. It's LOUD and a great buy!

Really, really loud. I use it for swim lessons and can hear it all the way down at the deep end!!

I purchased this for my grandma who cannot hear much without her hearing aids. She loves it. She uses the highest level and can hear it from several rooms away. The magnet on it is really strong as well. When it is on the stainless steel fridge it seems to be louder.

Is the area you're using it in large enough that you could move it to another room, or behind furniture? I don't notice the high-pitch noise so much but the growling motor is pretty loud to me, and so I use it in a central g room where it's not such a nuisance. The low setting volume is better but then it takes longer to dry the room(s). I hope you find a satisfactory solution!

Its not very loud at all, I wish I had a decibel meter to answer you properly, but I will say you hear more of a "whoosh" from the air moving than anything. It also depends on the setting because while none of the settings are loud by OTR vent standards, the lowest setting is very soft. We've never had to yell to converse with one another even on the highest (loudest) setting. I hope this helps.

I call it quiet, even under load. I still hear fans, but they don't overwhelm my tiny speaker system. If you want zero noise, then this won't work.

Tom here. I'm happy with Oontz speaker quality and sound. Don't like the voice either and have not found a way to silence it. There seems no way to silence it not turn it down. Sorry fellow tech lover!

Is reasonable loud,,,, you can adjust the volume i wanted louder, ,,, so i purchased an additional speaker and installed both ,,,,,i had to lower the volume a little because it was too loud.......

In short, I cannot say it more succinctly...Amazon should take this vendor OUT OF THEIR REPERTOIRE! done, nada , nothing to say - I threw mine out - no volume variation and I viewed other 'not happy campers'. Your choice - make them return your money - or just throw it out - post your comments and only 'hope' Amazon does not allow this vendor. Hope this helps.

I compared the Fugoo to my mom's UE BOOM last night. The BOOM blows the Fugoo out of the water (louder, crisper sound, deeper bass, not as tinny at high volume) and it's $30 cheaper. I read about the firmware update that "makes it louder". I will try this and report back.EDIT - I upgraded firmware from 1.00.14 to 1.00.53 which enables "loud mode". It made no difference.

Hi James your comments were a Very Nice Surprise Thank YOU very much :-)I have also discovered that the reason I noticed the volume was a bit low was because I had the attenuator switch on the back in the wrong position because once I switched I noticed the volume increased which solved the low volume problem.I would post that online for others but I don't know how, sorryRegards, Gordon

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.

I am having the same problem (I hadn't noticed the volume level though). Anyone have any ideas?

It is not bad but vibrator showroom has some more discreet and quiet vibrators. I love mine. As another said moaning would probably be louder.

I've never once felt like "I wish it would get louder"... I've taken it to outdoor get togethers, camping, etc. and it is loud enough to have good background music volume. If you're trying to make the music the focal point of an event, you might want something bigger.

I would agree that the sound quality goes down a bit after about 75 on a complex or bass heavy track, but it is damn loud at 70. I would get complaints in my apt if I listened to it at 60-65 for more than a short period of time and I can be pretty loud here. If you're looking feel the base at a really loud setting, look for a solid 2.1 system, but I think this is a solid choice for clarity, and base up to a modestly, not get kicked out of your apartment volume level and price.

Did you make sure that the inline fuse was good? I have had no issues. We did not use the inline volume control and have had great success.

Hey,I ended up buying the WDEUBK10000N. So far no issues. It's build seems to be able to take more "abuse" then my last one which looked more like the WDH1U. It's quiet enough; I had to actually put it to my ear to here to see if it was on. Not sure on the temp because I don't keep it running all the time.

Rob.. Send it back for replacement. These radios have a few manufacturing issues but once you get a good one there are no issues. The volume on mine is strong and loud.. It's not to be compared with a boom box volume but plenty loud for a single speaker radio as it should be. Only other issue that they all suffer from is that the smaller controls have a slightly loose feel. For the price the 450 is a much better radio than the newer Field branded radio from Eton. But really...send yours back and get a replacement
