Is this dock's speaker exceptionally louder than your average phone speaker? I sleep through phone alarms.

Yes. It is about as loud as your average speaker dock which in my experience is a lot louder than my phone. And I have the new HTC One which is pretty loud for a phone.

It is much louder than average. I have a 15 yr old son that sleeps through must alarms but not this because it can be turned up really high. Hope this help with your choice!

It seems fairly loud, but it was not loud enough to wake our daughter from sleep most nights. We have had much better luck with the "Malem Ultimate Selectable Bedwetting Alarm with Vibration - Royal Blue".

There is no alarm on the dock itself. I set my phone alarm and it will work without it sitting on the dock. Pretty much the speakers play whatever noise comes from your phone.

Yes, this is good for any device that has a USB charging cable. The docks have an opening to pull the correct cable through. Some people have complained the radio alarm is too loud, others have complained it is not loud enough. I sleep on the opposite side of the bed and this alarm was loud enough to wake me up; however, my husband complained it was not loud enough. In the end I am his alarm through kicking to wake him up. If you have issues alarms not being loud enough, get ready for a possible return or look elsewhere. My husband ended up purchasing a Sony dock station from walmart and it definitely startles me into a shocked state every morning. Yes, this is good for any device that has a USB charging cable.

It gets plenty loud. The volume goes up to 16, but I rarely turn it above 7. Just be sure to charge it fully before you go. It can take a while to charge even in full sunlight.

No, it isn't loud enough, in fact, the volumen is too weak in any situation. I bought it three months ago and the connection for charge is broken.

Not sure what you mean by "loud", but I always set the alarm through my iPhone app. The Bluetooth needs to be activated through its dedicated button for this to work.

Not super quiet, especially as it kicks on. But I haven't problem sleeping right through the noise! :-)

No - it's the only thing I don't like about this CD/alarm clock. The buzzer comes on full and LOUD. It's too loud for me. I'm going to change to wake up to radio, at least I can control that volume. This thing would be perfect if the alarm came on low and then went to loud. But it doesn't!

Yes! I use the sleep machine app. And the alarm sounds over that. Hope this helps

Yes I sleep with them and I have no problem hearing my alarm but I use a clock radio and the buzzing is fairly loud. Honestly the best thing I have ever purchased!

It is definitely louder than the internal speakers. I purchased this for my mother so that she could listen to music with better quality and volume.

This is by no means a silent machine, but I never found the sound to be abnormally loud. Mine was a moderate level of sound.

Yes, there would be an issue. It doesn't turn itself back on, so your alarm would only play from your device's internal speaker. Also, every time you turn the thing on, it resets the volume. Very frustrating.

That actually varies a lot on the output of the phone. On my HTC One I can't get any louder than 75% without it being deafening, because they are REALLY loud. On my Macbook I can't exceed 50% because it's even louder. Overall, volume should not be an issue as these are very loud headphones.

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.

There are two volume settings on the iTour - basic and louder. Your mobile phone (or other input device) is really the way to fine tune the volume.
