Is there anyway to make the alarm louder?

There is no way that we are aware of to make the alarm louder. You might want to contact Garmin directly.

The activation chirp is loud, but nowhere near as loud as the alarm itself.

Honestly I didn't know that was an option. I really don't think there is one. I am currently at work and will try to remember to look when I get home. I assumed the alarm was preset and/or just went off when levels exceeded above normal levels.

Hi Amy, The alarm was loud enough to wake my husband and I up from across the hall, but my son slept right through it every time. We'd have to go wake him up. Quite honestly the alarm is so loud and so close to his ear I was concerned about hearing damage. You really don't want an alarm louder than this one. The volume is adjustable.

I do not know of a way to mute the alarm. Do you not have a computer or iPad in your office. Set the timer on those.

The buttons do not make any noise. I don't think there's a setting, it's just silent by default. It only makes noise for the alarm if you turn it on.

If you did this it probably would set off the alarm and I am not sure you want to do this if you do not need to. It is a very loud sound.

My aide is in an upstairs bedroom, and when I press the button downstairs, I can hear the alarm upstairs (provided the doors are open). I assume that would make it loud enough for the person near it.

It does Harold but remember, the alarm is very loud and there is no volume control that I could find! Do I use the two I bought? No, I can't wake the whole house everytime Momma leaves her room!

You can adjust between a full alarm and a beep. The beep is fairly loud, about once every two seconds. There is no way to adjust volume. I keep the base station by my bed, for monitoring at night, and I have reduced the volume by taping over the speaker on the base.

The alarm can be loud but you can adjust it. You can also set different alarm tones. I love it and it works great!!

The audible alarm can indeed be configured from the front panel to be "muted". Press and hold the Silence Alarm button for .5 seconds.

yes, it's possible! you can turn off the sound and there will be only the light to wake you up:) but sometimes I don't notice the light without the alarm sound so it's better to turn it on

I don't think you can change the volume of the beep, but you can turn it off. In the Power Panel Personal Edition software, you can enable or disable the UPS's alarm and enable or disable your computer notification sound (from your speakers). Of course, you'll need to let the software run on startup for the notification sound. But if you do this, you could disable the UPS alarm and still get sounds that you can control through your speaker volume or the PC's mixer app.

The alarm is not quiet. You can hear it quite well. The clock itself is quiet. You can't hear the ticking like you can in some other noisy ones. And I am very happy about that!

I don't think you can. Mine stopped working completely after a month or so but only ever had the loud alarm mode.

Yes you can set it to the nature sounds to wake you and it will slowly get louder. There are three options to use for the alarm. Nature sounds, beeping and the radio all gradually get louder as they are on. You can set how loud you want it to get too.
