Can you adjust the volume of the alarm? (want to scare off a cat that sleeps on the porch sofa, but don't want to annoy neighbors.)

No volume adjustment and the batteries are half the cost of the device. The device itself works well.

I am not aware of any adjustment for the sound level. On the other hand, I didn't find it to be very loud; I actually missed it a couple of times when I needed to add ingredients and got busy in other parts of the house. It only beeps a couple of times anyway.

Yes to the first question. You can set individual custom volume levels for alert tones, band audio volume, and both timed alarms. Can be set quite low for softer alerts.

The alarm is not real loud, and no volume control. Unless you had this inside in a place a few rooms away, or maybe in basement if it was not far away from the door down to the basement, you wouldn't hear it probably.

I don't know. I use it as the alarm and it gets louder until you turn it off.

your dog or cat will stay off when the alarm sounds. It is loud and piercing. it is a learned behavior. my dog stayed off the couches and I moved one around after about 2 weeks on each one he stayed off of them

If you did this it probably would set off the alarm and I am not sure you want to do this if you do not need to. It is a very loud sound.

Sorry Pat, but the answer is no. I bought this unit for the same reason and have to turn the volume way up. Good thing we have no neighbors close by.

The only volume you can adjust is on the parent unit. What I do is turn off the monitor in my kids room every Night before bed. It seems to amplify sound the longer the kids unit is on. Hope this helps.

There is a volume for the sounds This may allow you to set it very low or possibly off. Although I have not tried to set it that low so I'm not certain.

There is no way that we are aware of to make the alarm louder. You might want to contact Garmin directly.

Yes. You can increase and decrease the volume. It sounds like shhhh shhhh shhh. It's effective.

The beep is about 2 seconds and I would hear it if it was out side my bedroom door. Perhaps putting it to the side a little would mitigate the noise. If you happen to get a motion detector that works well, it doesn't seem to take many "beeps and sprays" to keep the cats away.

I am not completely sure how to change the alarm sound but you can try to hold the alarm and mode button.

The alarm is not very sensitive to low frequency (thumps), and much more sensitive to mid-range (sharp taps or banging). I have one mounted on the glass in my front door and you have to really slam the door to get it to sound off. I doubt that a cat will set it off.

I would think so you can adjust the volume to really loud.. all sorts of fan sounds etc.. I have mine really low and blocks out TV etc.. from next room and barking dogs across the street..

Yes you can set it to the nature sounds to wake you and it will slowly get louder. There are three options to use for the alarm. Nature sounds, beeping and the radio all gradually get louder as they are on. You can set how loud you want it to get too.
