I want to have one of these for the office, I need to generate an audible alert warning to employees who are making a lot of noise. What device do you

This device shuts of automatically after a few minutes and doesn't have a setting to alarm when a certain noise level is reached. It also eats batteries. It would take a lot of batteries to get through a work week, and it would be and a pain to push the power button ever 5 or so minutes throughout the work day, so this is probably not the best device. My work uses a device for the exact function you describe. It looks like a traffic light. You might consider it, although it is probably a lot more expensive.

Chances are if it's quiet it doesn't have enough power to do the job. Wear ear protection and get the job done. And stop whining.

I also own this security device and.absolutely love it. The ac and the siren plug in the back of the control (keypad) device. The siren is extremely loud and i love the fact that it calls my cellphone (or a list of pre programed numbers) if an alarm has been triggered. All actions can be performed over the phone and im able to listen in on whats happening even if im not home. Hope this helps

There is one that would make an appropriate cubicle doorbell. The other sounds would make FUN doorbells!

I'm curious about the noise level in a quiet office environment too. I'm sure it wouldn't interrupt anyone, but would everyone in the vicinity hear the sounds it makes while operating?

Yes, it's quite audible. While I love the mouse, I work late at night sometimes and I worry that it may wake my wife. Probably the loudest mouse I've ever owned.

That is also what I use it for. It is great. No background noise. Better the the company issued stuff.

This device is 10 Watts. If you seek loudness , a different device is suggested.

I think it would depend on how loud you like your music (as "background" or really rocking). Would also depend on how loud your workplace is (lots of chatter, phones ringing). I only listen to books on my device so the sound doesn't have to be loud. I really like the fact you can be aware of the sounds and situation around you which isn't possible with ear buds.

You should look for something with a little more power. This could power one no problem. 2 it wouldnt be able to be very loud.

I tested this, and the music had to be really loud (old-school jungle at 120% volume loud) for someone next to me in a quiet room to report hearing anything. This is not, importantly, because of anything like "noise cancellation" (which messes with the signals themselves) but simply good design; you will have to turn the music off before you take them off your head in a library, because they do project some sound otherwise. Also, if you live in a city in which being annoying on public transport is considered unacceptable, please send brochures

we only have two in our office using them. To date we haven't had any issues with losing a call. I do get static from time to time...it is more like a low rumble in my ear. My customers don't seem to hear it but it is unnerving and a little uncomfortable because it makes my eardrum vibrate. It only happens periodically and is easily fixed by turning it off then on again. The older Version (which I still have and use at my other office) didn't do that.

I looked up the pocket Talker Pro and it looks like a real useful product. And it has very good reviews. Maybe I'll get one so I can lower the volume on the TV ;)

Not bad, it depends on the environment though. It can easily drown out street traffic and daily use for like an office setting, with possibly the exception for maybe sirens, road construction, or if you're on a noisy subway or something. I usually just turn it up louder depending on the environment. I typically turn it up to about halfway on my iphone so it definitely has a lot of headroom if you want to drown out other noises.

Very good noise canceling. You can still hear really loud sounds here and there if your music is soft enough. But a person would certainly need to raise their voice from their normal "indoor" voice in order to get your attention. If your music is loud enough, there's no chance you'll hear any outside noises really. Would not advise for office use...

I do not use it any more. The alert is not loud enough. I purchased it for using it in shopping mall, airport, or other public areas, where a lot of noises are present. In many places, I even cannot hear the alter because the noise surrounding me. The alert is loud enough when I was testing it at home or in our neighborhood.

No, this should not be loud at all. There is very little sound coming from my device, definitely not loud enough to be a problem or a distraction. If it's as loud as you're describing, then you definitely have a defective product.
