Does this have a progressive volume tone for the alarm or is just a "scare you awake" alarm?

It has a low and high volume choice to wake on buzz. I have used the high volume and it is not excessive. Have not noticed if progressively gets louder or not. And I have not tried it to music. I have used at a party to play music and worked very well. Hope this helps in your decision.

Not quite sure how you are using this. It only sounds when you "open" the door. You have to break the magnetic connection by seperating the two parts for the alarm to sound. There is no volume control. It is pretty loud.

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.

This is just a siren, not an alarm system. When power is applied, it makes a loud noise. And when no power is applied, it is silent.

It is very easy too set the alarm without assistance. It only turns one way so if you go past your intended time just keep going around until you reach the desired time. As for the volume, I think it is loud. It is not the annoying buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz of the previous models it is a digital beep which changes with urgency if you don't turn it off quickly.

I set my iPhone clock app to wake me up through the iHome iPL10. When the alarm turns on it is very faint then gradually increases in volume. Never "scares" me awake. Not sure if that is the iPhone clock app alarm or if it is the iHome that controls the gradual increase in volume. I have not used the integrated alarm on the iHome clock - but my guess is that the iHome controls the volume as well. I'll try it tomorrow and let you know.

Terrence S is right. This model only has beeping noises. If you want the cooler alarm audio options, you need to get a more expensive model(s), and yes the sounds fades in i.e. it starts low and gradually gets louder just as the light starts dim and gradually gets brighter.

If you press it against your ear as you would a phone, you could hear a faint tick. Otherwise, it is quiet. The alarm is surprisingly loud for the size of the clockFYI: The size is 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 1 1/2"

No, the alarm is basically a deterrent to a thief. When the security is breached, the alarm does sound, but not loud enough for even a close neighbor to hear. I guess it amounts to a scare tactic to a thief looking for an easy break- in. Hope this helps

it does have an alarm...you can set it to a radio station or the alarm that's built in it...but no choice of different sounds...

No. It does not give a warning tone. It alarms when the timer gets to zero. It has been reliable so we like it. But it is pretty simple and straight forward without any bells and whistles.

The sound has three settings. Off - only the LED"s light. Announce - is a beeping. Alarm - is a siren. You can not adjust the volume. You can put tape over the speaker to reduce the volume.

It is very LOUD when set to the loud setting. I wear hearing aids and cannot hear the alarm when it's set to the low setting, And that's with my hearing aids! It's a shrill, loud sound.

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

It has a ONE silly trumpet sound. One tone alarms are known to cause auditory accommodation. You will find information regarding 'Auditory Accommodation' on Google.

There is 2 alarms that can be set at different times . The Azan alarm is independent from the 2 alarms. And has a volume control.
