No one has said much about the sound of the door knocker. Is it a pleasant sound and does the knocker help in hearing a soft knock?

The sounds is really nothing special..just metal on metal...probably a little deeper in frequency than other knockers because of the heavy or solid metal used..I have had these knockers for 20 years..hardly anybody is using them ( I mean guests) . If they don't use the door belt they are just knocking at the door.

It's quiet but not silent - depends on how quiet your house is and how good your hearing :-)

YES. Not loud or intrusive. Think of yourself passing through a screen door. The harder and faster you hit the door the more sound made by your body.I find value knowing my pet is entering and leaving the house and have never felt it caused me to loose any sleep. This is the 4th PlexiDor I've owned.

It's not as loud as some i have heard (thinking of my dad's old shopsmith back in the day...that thing could wake up a dead stick). but its noticeable. I have it in my 2 car garage...i can turn it on, shut the door to the garage (it's a typical cheap thin interior door), walk to my bedroom on the opposite end of the house, and shut that door..and i can barely hear it (i could probably sleep with that level). my house has 50 yr old insulation in it's walls. it's reminiscent of a loud vacuum cleaner...no real tinny or metalic noise. hope that helps.

The noise level is about average for a microwave. You hear it, but it's not obnoxious. The thing to be concerned about with this model is the latch on the door. Once that goes, the microwave won't work.

It's a pleasing "beep" sound... I don't know how else to describe it. It's also loud enough to hear without being overpowering...

It's worth a try for the low price. Every night my wife gets up and closes the door as she leaves. I can't even tell that she is gone. Granted she doesn't "slam" the door, but before the ear muffs, I could hear it loud enough to wake me up. I doubt that your door slamming is any louder than my wife's window rattling SNORING!

It's not too loud behind a closed door. They sell dampeners also that are rubber and help reduce the noise

Hi, We are not sure how slight is the knocking but if it seems like a crackling sound, like the sound of burning wood, that should be normal. Otherwise, there might be an issue inside the item. We hope that helps. Thank you, Sales Team

I did not notice any crinkly loud sound, so I'm gonna say no. It makes a sound when your first opening it up, but nothing loud. I, too,am very happy with it!

To me it sounds the same as most others, I mean its not really loud but its not quiet either IMHO, it maybe a little more quiet then most but if you are looking for something that barely has any noise I don't think this is it, but I tell you what its a great toilet tho, never gotten clogged or any problems. Hope that helps.

It's makes the sound of perhaps "light air flow." I don't think it will disturb anyone. It's not completely silent but the sound is "soft."

It does make a little noise, but not real loud. The width of the door is almost 7" .

Not as loud as others I've had, and not at all intrusive. The bell is gentle, but so far, I have heard it over household noises.

There is a snapping noise but not bad at all. It does not wake me up at night and it is not enoughto startle you. I would say it's about the same as floding back one of those 12" plastic rulers and lettingit snap back against the wall. I am also going to give this door a further endorsement. It was about -8Celsius here yesterday (17 Farenheight) and there was no draft coming from the door and no cold area likei felt around the windows. The door is worth the money in my opinion.

It makes a noise whether it's opend quickly or slowly. It's a racheting sound is what it reminds me of. Our gate is at the top ot the stairs and that wall is the wall of my son's room. He has never woken up when we open or close it. Although he sleeps through everything.
