can unit be used to monitor noise levels of upstairs neighbors?

Yes it can, if the noise is loud enough. There are two settings: one for normal frequency tones and one that is better picking up bass tones.

No, the range is not good enough. You would do better to get only one, and set it up in the stairwell (assuming the stairwell is close enough to the door). The volume is variable though, so you could likely have it loud enough to work effectively.

I certainly am not any expert about this but the owner / seller is and will inform you about that. If your apartment is not big,, one might be enough.. If the pests can hear it good,, they will move out ! It has two speakers in front & pests HATE the sounds they hear.

Sorry Pat, but the answer is no. I bought this unit for the same reason and have to turn the volume way up. Good thing we have no neighbors close by.

Thank all for your responses. The unit is useless for me as I need to know the AVERAGE sound level over a period of time.

Yes, I believe this Marpac would help. It may not completely eliminate noisy neighbor sounds, but when placed properly within the room it will definitely help.

It has a doorbell setting and an alarm setting. I don't think neighbors would hear it. If you have two sensors, one will be single beeps and the other will be double beeps. You will know if it's front or back door.

Yes. I have two of them hanging on a front door, and I hear it loud as anything when upstairs.... so one within a one floor unit should definitely be loud enough.

The short answer is "Yes". However, the unit may be too sensitive and sound the alarm because of the carbon monoxide gas emitted by your vehicles. I use mine in the kitchen area of a park model mobile home to detect any propane leakage. Any inconvenience caused by a false alarm is insignificant when compared with the alternative.

Absolutely. Very loud for the size of the unit. I have used this model in a 3000 square foot kitchen and it can be heard very well.

I can't say for sure but I am thinking that one unit is probably not powerful enough. That being said, ours can seem very loud in a small, maybe 25x40 foot space with tile flooring.

I think that might work. It would stop the sound once closed. A motion detector might also work. This brand works great.

If there's a bedroom right above they're going to hear it. Regarding neighbors, if you're in a multi-unit townhouse our something similar they're going to hear it as well. If you're in a SFR it's no problem unless you're screaming like Bruce Lee. Regardless, my suggestion would be to add a good strong spring to your set-up to take stress off the wood beam/mount and to also reduce noise somewhat.

Not sure what is being asked here, but the alarm unit will make it's sound if anything or anyone moves in front of the monitor/motion detector unit within a range of about 9 feet, in my experience with it.

Yes. It would monitor any movement in the room. We have it on the porch and it even monitors a bird flying by.

That I would not know. Currently, the two devices are set up maybe 15-20 feet apart with the receiver on the outside and the master being in the middle of my apartment. Although, you might have a reason for putting it that close. I am thinking it is defeating the purpose of buying this device. Why not just ask "who is it?" I am sure people will be able to hear you without the device being installed.

Sorry, but I don't really know. I plan to try mine for outdoor noises this summer in various locations. It probably will pick up not too distant noises. The times I have used it. It has been inside.
