Is the alarm loud enough to wake a child up? I had an alarm before that never did wake up my child.

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.

Yes! I believe there's 8 alarms to chose from. We've only used the vibrating alarm because my sons share a room and I didn't want to wake both if them. Their room is on the 2nd floor and we can hear the vibrating alarm from the 1st floor.

It is quite loud, at the same time it also vibrates and blinks, but if the child is sleeping very hard at that moment, you of have to help the child to wake up.At the beginning, it woke him up, but after a few days, he got a little used to it, so while almost sleeping he mutes the alarm and tries to continue to sleep. But, if the alarm continues detecting wet, it starts ringing again in a minute. I can assure you that the alarm is enough loud that it'll wake YOU up even if you're in another room ;-).

I do not think you will have any issue getting it to wake your child up. For my daughter, even the quiet setting was loud! Tip for use, Once you put it on the panties put a pull-up over the panties/underwear. The sensor is so sensitive even a little sweat will make it go off, but the pull-up will keep that from happening. This alarm worked great for my six year old daughter and my neighbor is currently having success with her five year old son.

Yes.... That was the first thing I did... The beep could easily wake my son up.... So silent mode is way better. Hope this can help...

You can't adjust the volume of the alarm but you can adjust the volume of the beeping if you want it to beep every time it touches the baby. We swaddle our baby and then put an extra blanket on top of her. We can barely hear the beeping on the loudest setting but if the snuza alarms...we can hear it loud and clear!

It is very quiet! Probably NOT what you want. I use one in each of the two windows in my bedroom and sleep through the low sound without a problem. Why not try a portable alarm with "sounds" (some even have timers), or an app on your phone. My son and his wife use pink noise for their kids. Check out 'sleep noise' on the internet. Very relaxing!

How about might wake up the baby. this can definately be heard in the next room, but not next door.

I have never set the alarm to use the radio to wake me up, so I am probably not much help to you. I do know that when I first turned on my radio I had to use the plus/minus buttons to raise the volume of the radio and since then when I turn on the radio it is at the apppropriate volume. Maybe if you turn the radio volume up to the level you want the alarm to be at, that will fix your problem. Not sure! Sorry! Hope you find a way to make it work. Although, the radio may start out low just like the other sounds do and build to a louder level. Have you let it go for a few seconds to see if it builds to a higher volume??

My alarm gets progressively louder the longer it on. After about 1 minute it's very loud. So I haven't set the loudness.

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

Yes you can wake to the sounds or the radio or a beeper. The wake-up sounds start at zero volume then slowly increase to a predetermined upper volume level. Then there is a snooze (with variable settings) or any button will turn the alarm off. There are a lot of complexities to all the features, but it's okay once you get used to it. I recommend this product.

The alarm is not excruciatingly loud, just enough to wake my son and me (in another room). When I first tried training him at night, I set a regular alarm and he never woke up to it. This one woke him right up, stopped him in the peeing process and he was able to finish in the bathroom. We have used it for about 4 or 5 weeks now and he has been dry for two weeks straight! I love it!

It does make a slight humming noise, I don't consider it to be loud. It doesn't disturb me and I don't believe it will wake up your children! Hope this helps :)

They do make a very minor click sound. I wouldn't call it loud by any means, but if you're a very light sleeper it could be a problem. I do like that you can set the maximum volume of the alarm and that it starts quiet and works up to the max volume you have programmed. I've never had a clock that does that.

I don't think so. It was too loud to be soothing and the alarm feature didn't work all the time when set.

You can adjust the volume of the alarm. This alarm has 32 different settings... you can go from a ding dong sound to pretty much a song... I stick to the simple ding dong sound on my setting. Maybe I might change it during the holidays to fit the other settings.

It makes a noise but not so loud that it would wake someone up. Just my opinion. My family are not light sleepers though!

If you are a lite sleeper it will wake you up. If you need a loud buzzer, do not get this radio. I got this to wake up my teenage son and it does not wake him up.

No it doesn't have a vibrating alarm. In fact, the alarm it does have has a medium-pitch sound that is ideal for a light sleeper who doesn't need drums banging to wake up.
