How loud is the timer? I've got new appliances that whisper, trill, and gurgle so I really need a snap-to-attention alert appliance.

I suffer from partial hearing loss and I can hear it when I am in the next room. It is loud.

You'll hear it, alright, but it won't make your blood run cold. If you don't come and get whatever it is, it'll call you again!

It's as loud as some microwaves with the fan vent running at low. But I can accept that noise considering how well it cooks my foods in no time. A frozen pre-seasoned pork chop or beef patty in less then 10 minutes. Who's complaining? Not I. :)

It was not loud enough for me. I kept in on the refrigerator in the kitchen and even in that room it was hard to hear. I have since gotten another one as a gift called a Your Minder. I have no idea where it was purchased. Sorry

My hearing loss is pretty bad. what I have done is place my timer on the countertop with nothing close by to absorb the vibrations, and therefore I can hear it just fine even with the wife listening to TV.I tested the signal while in the bedroom and was able to know it was running. It is small enough to put in my pocket if there are several people talking at once.

Volume not adjustable, but not jarring. Sounds "beep .. beep .. beep" for a couple minutes then stops on its own. Just seems loud for such a tiny timer. I've had larger timers (Pyrex, for example) which I can hardly hear in the next room, and which beep for only 5-10 seconds before stopping. I must admit I do not use this timer as a clock or a "count up" because I only need a timer and this is perfect for my use. I like it so much that I always keep an unopened spare on hand in case I drop and break this one and need an instant replacement.

Hi Mike, the timer isn't to loud, but you can here it if you are in another room, and if you are listening for it. The alarm last for one min. It is a great timer. I have gotten 2 of them. 1 for home and 1 for work :D

I have a very small house so I can hear it wherever I am. Yes, it beeps frantically until you stop it. Maybe it would eventually stop, but it's annoying enough I press the button as soon as I can get to it. I've had several different timers over the years and this is my favorite. It was also about 1/2 the price on Amazon as compared to my local hardware store.

The mechanism is surprisingly loud for an outlet timer, but it is easily muffled by a fan or white noise machine though. If I did not sleep with a humidifier on, the timer would bother me.

It's a chirp every few minutes. I remember because it has been so long that I forget I even placed them under the sink. Drove me nuts for a few minutes until I honed in on it then duh!... These things are great -I have one at washing machine, kitchen sink, and hot water tank.

It isn't quiet, but it isn't as loud as my dishwasher. Maybe about the same as a fan above your stove (not one of those Whisper quiet fans).

I would give it a chance. I keep mine next to me on my nightstand. It does an amazing job at covering over other loud noises, and the volume control in it can make it really LOUD! I even have a belligerent man in the apartment complex across the street from me who comes out and holds extremely loud conversations at 11pm, 12pm, 1am, ALL THE TIME. I can't even hear him anymore because this machine does such a good job.

It isn't very loud at all. You can hear it when it's in your mouth. With the television on, I think it would be difficult to notice from across the room. It isn't at all like an alarm clock, it's only powered by small watch battery!

Not very loud..possible solution, this timer easily fits in your shirt pocket, carry it with you like I do.

Yes, although it is not very loud. If you are in another room you should consider taking the timer with you because otherwise you may not notice it right away.

I don't think it nearly as loud as a smoke detector but it is surprisingly loud. At first I also thought it would scare my mom but it doesn't. She has never complained about the noise and she is a fairly picky person. It makes a buzz sound before the actual alarm which sort of warns you a bit. I think it is important that it be fairly loud so that she can hear it if she is down in the other part of the house.

I have this purifier installed under my kitchen sink. I have to be standing in front of the sink and be closely listening to hear it. If you live in a totally silent house and you're super sensitive to noise, you've shot all the birds because their tweets are too loud. The wife knows to tip toe and speaks in a hush while the kids are certified in noise control (http://www.inceusa.org/about/boardcert). Then maybe...just maybe you'll be bothered by the whisper the system generates while refilling the tank. I am totally satisfied with it....

It does not seem loud when you are on it. If I watch tv I gave to turn it up loud. I love my machine. I use it 3 times a week for 30 minutes?
