could this be used inside for a birthday party or does it move too much/too loud?

I really don't know as I haven't had it indoors....it didn't move around too much, and didn't seem to be too loud, but there is a big difference when something is outside vs inside.

Yes. I only use it indoors. My kids are small so they don't move it around too much. If kids are larger or rowdy it could slide around if it's not anchored. Noise is loud but not too loud. I definitely don't leave it running when they aren't jumping though.

pretty loud. It is crushing ice so that has to be taken into account. I'd say normal conversation can't be heard over it if you are running it in the kitchen around an island or something.

I think this would be perfect in a baby's room- you can adjust the level of volume. This has by far been the best sound machine I have used- it takes up little space but sounds like a much larger fan (without the breeze!).

Quite good. If the party is of moderate size, it should be excellent. Probably not suitable for very large parties.

I would say def not loud enough for a party. Unless it's like 3 people in a smaller room. The sound is clear though. Not a ton of bass. Can't compare it to the jam box though. Never heard one. Hope this helped.

Sure, why not? I would recommend it in a smaller room due to its cfm rating. Just remember it is louder than most reviews state. The noise has not been a problem for me, I wanted something with style, not all white plastic.

It is still fairly loud. The lower setting isn't too loud but if you really want to move things, you'll probably need it on the higher setting and it's noticeably louder.

It sort of bounces, but it really is intended just for shooting. You can use it indoors, but like anything you throw inside there's always the chance it could knock over a lamp or something. We have a rule that it's for shooting only, not throwing around the room!

It's loud but we've only used it indoors (on our carpeted basement). Still a great investment- our 3 &4 year olds love it and play on it every day!

It could be used indoors and will likely hold up better than using it outside. We had to throw ours away after three uses because there were holes everywhere. It's rather big but if you have the space, there's no reason why you couldn't just keep it inflated. You would be able to use the slide, and ball blaster just the same.

I'd say it's fitting for a pool party for a one year old... The speaker's output is slightly louder than ambient noise; conversation, laughter, etc. But splashing water and screaming children would most certainly drown out the music.

I don't think it's too loud. I will certainly not be as loud as the little ones screaming and jumping for joy. They loved it.

When I used this around the home, I keep it well under the 1/4 mark and that's still very loud.When I take it outside or to the beach, I play it near max (generally a little lower so the base isn't blown out) and you can clearly hear it from a far distance. I've had dance parties on the beach and it this rocks it.While it can be used inside, it's really meant for outdoors or large areas.

It has it's own speaker built in so I guess it would depend on the size and noise level of the room. The volume of the speaker is pretty loud in my home and the kids have used it for everything they've needed so far; I would guess for small to medium settings it would suit you.

It does run periodically and make some noise. It is on par with the fridge in terms of loudness, I think. I was, and maybe still am a bit, bothered by the noise and thought about putting it in a different room (it is in the kitchen). So, actually, the noise is the one thing I have NOT liked about it, but I am not sure if it is enough noise to bother YOU. My husband is NOT bothered by the noise. That answer might be very unhelpful, sorry.

Yes it can be as loud as you make it. We use it every meal to call the children to the table.

In my opinion it is not noisy, however, my 2 year old(30 pounds) can bounce it hard enough that the back legs rise and slam down but not always, just when he is REALLY trying. Aside from that I think it's pretty quiet and well built.
