What sound exactly does it make and how loud?

It's a very high pitched buzzing noise. It's very loud. Enough to startle you or an animal if you aren't expecting it.

A beep loud enough to alert you and hopefully detour your pet > my cat's stay clear. If your pet remains on the pad it keeps beeping, unless they're deaf they'll leave! I don't have to even turn it on anymore as they know what happened when it was on....

It sounds like a beep that lasts about a second. I haven't heard it for a while now so it really scares the kibble out of 'em.

It's very loud beeping sound. It does scare the dogs but the mat is so short and thin it would take 2 to cover a regular sized couch

high pitched beep. Loud enough to get the dogs attention...and mine too if I forget to turn it off and sit on the sofa. I don't turn it on all of the time either, once they realized something had changed in where they can sit and where they better not sit.

Its fairly loud. But no real loud. If the individual is very hard of hearing I would not recommend it.

No, it is not LOUD. It is barely adequate. But it is clear enough. I would never buy it again, not at half the price.

It's pretty loud. I can hear it in other rooms as long as there is no real loud back round noise. It beeps for a pretty good while, but not in defitnilty. I was looking for a timer that was close to the one from Pampered Chef. This was as close as I could get. This one though is louder. Hope this helps!

Its not very loud at all, I wish I had a decibel meter to answer you properly, but I will say you hear more of a "whoosh" from the air moving than anything. It also depends on the setting because while none of the settings are loud by OTR vent standards, the lowest setting is very soft. We've never had to yell to converse with one another even on the highest (loudest) setting. I hope this helps.

I've asked the same thing and no one answered. The volume is plenty loud enough, but I notice there is 'vibrations' if I turn it up too loud. I'd love to know about speakers as well!

I haven't used it in almost a year...but I do not recall it being loud at all. It lasted the entire time of my daughter's party until we turned it off.

I don't think it is super loud, but it makes some noise... I have not owned any others of these to have something to compare it to

I don't know the exact noise level, scientifically speaking, but I find it loud enough to be quite disruptive.The level of noise it makes is the main reason I am currently replacing it. I'm tired of yelling over this thing. Also, since it doesn't have an energy save mode, the fan stays on even when it's not cooling, so the loudness is constant.

It does make a sound but I don't find it too noisy. If you're in an apartment bldg it might cause a neighbor to ask what the noise is but I don't see it as so loud that people bang on the ceiling.

Yes it makes some noise. I have it in a storage area of the basement adjacent to the home theater, and it's too noisy when it cycles on -- can clearly hear it through the drywall and door. It's not really loud, but it's loud enough that's it's annoying when you're watching a movie and there's a quiet scene. Trying to figure out how I can quiet it down.

It makes some noise but it's not loud by any means. And once it breaks it's very quiet!

It's pretty loud. You can definitely hear it from another room when it's boiling. It's an electric kettle, so, it doesn't have any other function other than boiling water.

It's quite a bit louder, not extremely loud though. I recommend it though. Sounds pretty good. I've gotten many compliments, and you can't beat that price.

It does make noise but its not that loud. I have it right next to my desk. when its not running it is silent.

Its not that loud. I hooked it up then unhooked it and went with a different model.

It's not too loud. It makes a mild whirring noise, kind of like a fan. Search YouTube for a video of someone violently shaking the ball like an idiot.
