Does this have a lot of background noise? My daughter is getting bullied, and before we talk to the principal, we need a recording as evidence.

It depends on how it is carried. It has a pretty strong receiver so if it is tucked into clothes it will pick up every little brush of fabric over the mic very loudly. I tried the same thing with my autistic little boy. He was five at the time and having a LOT of problems at school so I wanted to make sure it wasn't due to someone else pestering or bullying him. I sewed it into the waist band of his pants. The recording was pretty unusable even with a moderate working knowledge of audio editing to try to clean it up. While I could just make out most things the sound of the cloth on the mike almost drowned it all out. If she is old enough to activate and conceal it when an incident occurs then it would work pretty well but if she is young enough that you need to hide it on her then it will be pretty unbearable to sort through, and you will need more than passable knowledge with sound editing to even begin to get through it.

It is very sensitive and will pick up everything clearly. The background noise will not overpower this pen drive at all. Good Luck! I would suggest that if she has it in her pocket not to move around too much as it will pick up the sound of rubbing in her pocket.

Not sure, it is of lesser quality than I expected. Sound system wouldn't be very good for recording if it did have the option. It is more for juvenile use where they don't care how it sounds.

Yes.... Its going to be difficult to avoid ambient noise unless you can set up backdrops and wind socks to absorb some of the extraneous sounds. This is a great mic. You can try using lavalier mics, use wind socks etc and should help a lot

Its really not that loud. It makes some noise yes but i doubt they would hear it in the other room. You could also try turning the force feedback down to reduce the noise.

From my experience and from what I have been told there is more or less no background noise

Yes and yes. Quite loud, particularly if the initial recorded alarm is recorded'loudly'. I have high frequency hearing loss so I (male) make the recording(s)so everyone can hear them, even me, no problem.

It's same here, there is a background static, can be loud if there are other sounds. But audio quality is pretty good, camera detects and counts every sound made by baby.

No, it is not very good. I don't use it. Only used it one time, it was not very good at keeping noise out. I am planning on giving it to a kid to play with.

There is a sound, but it may not disrupt a video. It is noticeable, but would not describe it as loud.

This is a great pencil sharpener for the price. I even let the kids use it (which normally I don't because they break things!!) Sound wise it isn't a tiny "hum", but it isn't SUPER loud either. Typical pencil sharpener noise, I'd say. Sorry if that doesn't answer your question. A pencil sharpener in a school is an important thing. They usually break or sharpen unevenly. Had this for 6 months and it's going great!

It has a speaker I am not sure if it is loud enough. It depends on the classroom size.

it is more about Debacles (loudness) than an range, and of course if the place echo's and other side noises. I keep my on me for protection in my store, and in my car, plus one by the home phone.so any problems I can record what is said to the letter. Worth it weight in GOLD.

I didn't notice any noise problem with mine. It is a pretty good recorder for the price

The couple of times I accidentally played the recording it was loud and clear. I always download recording to my laptop for listening and storage.

It's okay, if you're just reviewing work. My friend had recorded her kids singing using hers. It's okay, sort of comparable to a tape-based microrecorder - 32kbps bitrate for the recorded audio. Wouldn't do well with background accompaniment.

It gives off a lot of sound. I bought it for my daughter either last year or the year before and it still works great and she is terrible on electronics.

i feel that it may be ok for class work,i have found it not good for recording music.i suggest --pay another 20.00 and get a good one.
