How loud when hitting it? Will it disturb the neighbors? I have the skilz training stick which is really loud because the yellow "ball" is very hard and makes a loud, sharp noise when hit.

Yes, probably will disturb neighbors! My son is 11 years old and not the strongest batter and it's pretty loud outside.

just like someone takeing batting practice neighbors will be able to hear it

Depends on the bat used. I have the boys use a heavier wooden bat when training on this to strengthen hands, wrists, and overall swing. When used with a wooden bat noise is very minimal.

It's pretty loud and Probably to powerful for a apartment with close range, you will put holes in your wall. Lol it's my favorite gun I have 2 it's pretty loud

dear friend, I do use the ball once in a while, still is working but I have no idea how long it will last. This bold is still the coolest thing since sliced bread.

We use it in the basement. My older boy (age 11) can get all of it and not damage the drywall. (Not that I've noticed anyway... there could be some depressions here and there for all I know.)When you have it running continuously, the balls are ricocheting all over the place, you're ducking behind the net to not get hit. It is something to experience.

I love my sprite for the way I can maneuver it around my house. As for the noise, I am not the best one to ask as I am sort of deaf. It bothers my dog when I vacuum, but she's spoiled and resents my doing something that doesn't involve her. She is the reason I got the vac in the first place. Sorry I couldn't be of help.

A 1.5 year old MAY not have the "bounce" to disturb your neighbors??? But once he masters it, the trampoline can be loud. Our 2 year old has been using it since she was 16 months old, so a good bounce can actually lift the opposite side of the trampoline and have it slam into the ground. It just depends on how active (crazy) your kid is.

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.

The exploding tip will be moderately loud. It won't be quite as loud as a handgun as it will burst before reaching full pressure, and be somewhat muffled by the target it strikes. It won't be quiet, though.

It sounds like air blowing (not loud). You can set the pitch. Our dog clearly hears it, but it's not distracting to people. Our dog is really trained to it, and comes promptly (we don't have little ones, so I don't have actual data on this, but adults don't here it). I will try it when my grand kids are here at Christmas (ages 4 & 7). We are very happy with it (have 2).

My son would cry with our old one. He said this one isn't bad. I wouldn't say it's loud but it's not quiet. It still sounds like a buzzer but it's really nice. For the price I'd try it!!!

If your hoanuse sit on a lot that is over 10,000 sq. foot . I don't think your neighbor can hear the shot that loud to bother he or she too much unless you use your back yard as a daily training. I use mine probably 3 times a week about 30 minutes and never been told that the noise was unacceptable. As far as the other two brands you mention, sorry I don't have experience with them however I bought another brand prior to RWS it was cheaper but faster and louder and the reason I returned was good power but not very accurate. I recommend this one (RWS) smoother trigger and accurate.

Oh, by the way...avoid the steel shot they sell at the sport goods store. They can seriously bounce back and smack you in the face!! Its better to buy some Hornady .44 cal lead balls, like the kind used for blackpowder pistols. Heavier, but more knockdown power and much less chance of riccochet. Thats what I use for squirrel and possum hunting.

The bounce house is GREAT! However the blower indoors is pretty loud. About as loud or even louder then a vacume cleaner. You do have to have the blower going at all times. Even with the noise we still use the bounce house inside and also outside. It really is a great bounce house especially for the price. Honestly it is just as good as the ones you rent for party, just a smaller version. I would 100% recommend this bounce house! My son was 2 when we bought this, he is almost 3 now and he still loves it. Hope this helps.

It makes one sound evey time a ball is dropped in. Yours must be broken. :(

The one I bought for my grandson is not that noisy. I did notice that if the swing is fast the noise is more noticeable. So if you slow the swing it makes less noise. We still use it all day every day.

I buy these toys for my niece and nephew in another state and send to them. Then tell me how the kids like it and if it catches their eyes. They didn't mention it squeaks. But one this for sure is the little girl is almost two the baby is 9 and she plays rouch and its a hard toy and she hit the little boy on the head. So be careful. But for a child they love colors and stuff. I have bought a lot of Lamaze toys and I have or I should say they have never been disappointed. Hope this helps. If the description says its squeaks contact seller. They will work with. (Once I had a problem and they helped right away.

This pitching machine works really well with the plastic balls. Sometimes the children get hit with them. It can hurt pretty bad. I'd sure hate to see it be hard balls. It's a great machine!!!
