I've heard some people say the velcro is quite loud... have you found this to be an issue in quiet places or that it wakes the baby??

It's not unusually loud for velcro--but if you object to velcro in general, it does make the usual sound of a long, wide strip. However, if you're baby sleeps soundly enough to sleep through taking the carrier off and laid down, she probably won't be awakened by velcro. It hasn't been a problem for me (mine's more likely to wake simply by being put down in a new position--but the velcro doesn't startle her at all).

It's not completely silent, but I don't believe it's loud. It doesn't squeeze pretty tight, so you do have to get used to that!

I have used mine for all three of my children and it fit all of them until they were around a year old or a bit older. It does make some noise but mine is no louder then and other devise that is motorized for babies. Such as a baby swing is. The big difference is that this device is for a baby to lie down in, there is no way for the baby to sit up in it.

It's not silent - you can hear it moving. But most of the swings I saw were like that, plus they had that "click" sound. I personally don't mind the noise at all, it's almost like white noise, and some days that mamaroo is the only hope I have to get my son to take a nap! I know they made a new model for 2015, perhaps it's quieter?

We have a light sleeper as well and it is completely silent when moving. My toddler has literally been standing right by the camera and not realized it is moving and my better sleeping infant has it mounted to her crib and it has never disturbed her.

I have a baby trend. Its a pain in the toosh to get on when the baby is in the seat though. FYI.. I haven't used mine yet.

It is quite loud actually. It terrified our toddler and he would run and cry. We ended up sending it back

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 :)

It does make a loud noise, but that's meant as a safety measure so you know if your child actually gets it unlocked. You have to push down and twist a knob to unlock it. I have found that if you hold the knob as you retract the gate, it is MUCH quieter than if you were to just unlock it and let go of the knob.

The pre is the loudest it can go without hurting the baby and the post is louder. I always keep it on pre. I'm too paranoid about hurting the babies ear drums.

There is a little but it really is not loud. I still can actually hear my baby breathing. I would think that the static might be related to distance. The further away from the baby's room...If you are on a poor frequency...may be factors. I have taken the monitor downstairs and outside without static issues. Hope this helps!

I am both a stomach sleeper, side sleeper, and back sleeper and while I may toss or turn while asleep the mask never seems to hinder me or wake me up. There are times when I am going to sleep with the mask on and I am on my side with head off-kilter on the pillow when the mask get dislodged a bit but I adjust it quickly. I don't notice the Velcro as this is at the corner and it is never a factor with me.

It is not very loud which we like since most baby toys are way too loud. My Niece loves it and has no problem hearing it. Their pediatrician has recommended low volume toys since babies are just developing.

I had the same issue (well... and still have it)... the thing is the volumen is so, so low, that you have to almost speek directly to the camera and not farther than a few centimiters... 2 o 3 cms., then you will hear the sound on the App. In few words, its useless for baby monitoring. My cameras are now "safe" in a drawer... :S

They turned out too tight around the neck unfortunately - my son was average 8 month old when I tried these. It was soooooooo unfortunate because the colors, material and velcro are excellent! Trully trully need to have a bigger opening, the velco is also so good that I also see where it would not be good for an infant because it may hurt and or makes noise to take it off. I tried using them by leaving some velcro exposed to make neck opening wider but it would scratch and redden the back of my son's neck as it rubbed. I guess if your child has a skinny neck it may work for you. I gave them away to a smaller baby...sadly. Obviously i'm still upset they didn't work out for us. Hope this helps.

It glides very quietly but I do feel that it is creaky when I stand up. I'm not a huge person or anything so I don't know why it groans and creaks when I stand up but it would wake a baby if you were trying to keep them asleep.

It isnt that loud. It depends on how light of sleepers your kids are. Wouldnt bother my daughter, but would wake my son.
