Is this a loud sound that will wake the family or only a sound the animals can here

The sound is loud. It depends on how close to the bedrooms you place it as to whether it would wake the family. We have used ours on a storage/sitting bench in front of our kitchen window. Our sheltie would jump up ,look out the window and bark at everything that she saw. We tried several ways to stop her. It only took about 3 days for her to avoid the bench completely. I have had it turned off for about 2 months and she never has jumped up again. This product was a really wonderful solution for us.

No the sound is low and very quick. Im a light sleeper but it never bother me. I sometimes but on my kitchen top. I'm very happy with it.

It's a high pitch sound like a smoke alarm. It only "goes off" when your pet steps and/or sits on it but doesn't stay on - the sound stops once your pet is off of it. We put one in front of a French door and the dog will sit behind it, but won't step on it as she knows what it does. It's wonderful!

NO! It sounds like a chirping bird - and it isn't even a very loud bird! I too got fooled by the name - it is not a dog - but a low level chirp. Depends on if you want a low level alert = fine, but as a deterrent - I do not think this would work. Hope this helps.

If you had the receiver near you, I'm pretty sure it would wake you. In my case I'm definitely awakened, but that's because of a Shepherd dog who starts barking excitedly when it goes off. She hears it quite well even a few rooms away.

It can get pretty loud. We turn it up higher during the day when our 6 year old and dogs are running around the house and lower when we are all asleep at night. Either way, you can hear the sound machine on the baby monitor and I would definitely say it is louder than a high powered fan.

The dogs WILL hear it and, as in my neighborhood, they will probably bark more. You can buy things that will bother their they're ears (not permanently just while they are barking). Look up NO BARK PRODUCTS. GOOD LUCK

Many things can set off an alarm like that. The wind blowing or even an animal can set them off. We have a different brand and it needs to be re-positioned a little because it even picks up our neighbors when they are outside or leaving. We bought this one as a Christmas present which, of course, we haven't given yet. Ours sounds at night when some deer pass by. You might try to change the position a little and see if that helps.

It is not very loud at all. It is equivalent to a can of air used for keyboards. It is effective for correcting bad behavior. It does emit a sound that can only dogs hear along with the air. I love mine.

It isn't overly loud, but loud enough for us to hear. We always know when the dog wants to go out. The bells can always be replaced or you could add some from Hobby Lobby onto it with more or louder ones.

its not that loud but if someone put there ear to the door might hear it , on low they wouldn't hear it at all, even with there ear on the door . on high might be able to hear it if its all quiet and they put there ear to the door other wise I don think they can hear it through a door

I'm not sure. I thought it was quite loud, but it is a high-pitch as I recall. That is the sound that people lose first usually. Does he live alone? If not, it would definitely wake anyone else. I have a baby monitor in Mom's room. It nearly scared me right out of bed, and my room is some distance from hers. Unfortunately, we had lots of false alarms because of the way she turns over in bed (raising up on elbow rather than just rolling.).

Yes, absolutely. It is a loud "psst" sound...there is no contact with the animal...just the sound.

I am not sure, all I can say is that it is loud kinda like a fire alarm. My mom can't stand it she said it is to loud.

There is a volume to make it loud or soft. We have it centrally located so we can here it all over the house. The sound we chose is pretty, so it is a nice interruption!

We can hear it from our bedroom. It has a volume control. I really like it. However small animals can trigger it off, so sometimes it works too well. I do recommend it though!

No. They must be in a place where the air can flow through it to create the sound to which the animalsrespond. I put mine on the front bumper of my truck and on the bottom of the grill of my car.

Heard everywhere. I was hoping it was silent too. It WILL stop a dog to look at what in the world that noise is
