The alarm comes on low but increases in volume, no matter what the volume setting of the sound you use. I have not used the Tone or Radio as an alarm but used Wind Chimes, and it was nice. Started low and gradually increased. If you are not a light sleeper, set the alarm maybe 1 or 2 minutes before you want to wake up so that the volume reaches a level that will wake you up in time.

This clock radio does not have a separate "sleep" volume and a separate "wake" or alarm volume, and I haven't seen any clock radios that have that feature It's a great idea. This one does, however, have an increasing alarm volume which, on mine anyway, gets quite loud if I don't turn it off right away. Hope this helps.

It is much louder than average. I have a 15 yr old son that sleeps through must alarms but not this because it can be turned up really high. Hope this help with your choice!

Yes, the sounds (including nature sounds) can come up at alarm time. It can be loud.I use the night-chirping sounds to make it sound like the window is open, also use the ceiling fan to move the are around. When I'd go to bed early, my wife would come around my side (where the window is) and try to close it because she often thought the window was open (air movement, and sound of crickets). It all helps me sleep.

The volume should go to 20+ on the digital readout on the front of the bar. I rarely go above 17, because it is way too loud. At level 3 it should be nearly inaudible. I assume you have turned the TV speakers off. You could have a bad remote (it's a poor remote to begin with). I suggest changing the battery as soon as you get it. If not the remote, you probably have a defective unit.

Unfortunately no - the only suggestion I can make is: set the radio so that a loud static or hiss noise is produced and then hope you wake to that noise when the alarm goes off in the morning.

The button at the top between the volume buttons will turn off the music/noise. The light will stay on unless you push the light button too. Dont use the alarm 1/alarm 2 buttons on the sides.

My alarm gets progressively louder the longer it on. After about 1 minute it's very loud. So I haven't set the loudness.

I tried to do the same thing with the same app and found it to be unreliable. Sometimes nothing would happen when the alarm was scheduled to activate. It may be the tune in app itself, as I've had some startup issues with it.

I had it set incorrectly the first night and the alarm sounded at 5:30am (sigh)... it's the third setting, not the forth. :-)

That's the problem: there is no comfortable way to turn it off. You will have to grab the device and switch it off, which will certainly result in the alarm sounding. It's very loud (and you will be at ground zero), so definitely wear ear protection when turning it on or off. This is one of the main reasons why, in my review, I describe this device as impractical. This alarm is a nice concept, but just doesn't play out all that well in practice.

The alarm can be loud but you can adjust it. You can also set different alarm tones. I love it and it works great!!

Yeah, I love this thing. Perhaps you should contact the company that produces it. The sad thing is that it only plays one song as an alarm. So suppose I have a folder called MyMusic and it had 3 songs in it. I have to set the Alarm to play that one song. When the alarm goes off, it will play that one song over and over again until you shut it off. It will NOT advance to the next song. I hope that answers your question. I've asked the company who makes this to at least allow us to play the songs within a folder, but as of yet, i've not gotten a response. Perhaps if more ask, they will develop this feature.

I don't know of a way, but I agree that it's not very loud. I suggest you set another timer with a louder beep as a backup!

You appear to have a defective alarm, it should sound as soon as it comes into contact with moisture. Try one last test and this time use water instead of moistened paper and see if it makes a difference. If not you need to contact Amazon and return it. Good Luck

The alarm is not quiet. You can hear it quite well. The clock itself is quiet. You can't hear the ticking like you can in some other noisy ones. And I am very happy about that!

Sounds defective. I dont think there was a way to silence the alarm otherwise.

I think the one we got was defective. I could never get the alarm set. sorry I can't answer your question.
