Does this get super loud? I work around a lot of big loud machines. Most radios I have tried I can't hear above all noise.

Haven't tried blasting it, but the volume I've had it at could subdue the noise of all the saws and guns going off around me.

Yes. I bought this radio for my husband who loves it . Takes a beating and also gets excellent radio reception.

It is the loudest jobsite radio available today without distortion. It got rated at 104db. I believe the next closest was around 96db.

This is a question that might be very personal. I consider the sound loud, but certainly not annoying. The machine works very well, so you have to consider if another machine that is quieter will work as well. Hopefully this answered your question.

Mine isn't silent, but isn't horrible. Sounds like an issue to bring up with manufacturer. They might replace the unit.

While gaming you can hear it, but its not loud like a jet turbine at 40%, 50% to 90% (max, sound like a turbine and dont recommend it. Blades gets some flex and might brake off. Blades was hitting my sound card on the soldered tips and it was loud "tatatata". I just wanted to hear how loud it gets and never doing it again) I use earbuds for gaming so i dont hear it and have my pc behind the monitor

Hi Dean If you turn up the volume control on the inline amplifier to the max, you will get a good volume that will just about equal the volume that your radio is set at. If you want it louder, just turn the volume control on the radio and at that point it would probably far too loud for anyone to listen comfortably to it. I hope this makes sense to you. Alistair

I am really happy with the TEKK WorkTunes noise reduction. My shopvac has a really high pitched whine that they really reduce and with my MP3 player I can hear my music well. Buy one, save the packaging and send it back if it does not meet your requirements.

It's def louder than a portable generator. If you start it up and don't hear it, you better go check on it. Having said that tho, I don't mean to say that it is distractingly noisy, just that you're going to hear it running.

Set the alert feature to "siren" mode and it will sound relentlessly. At its highest volume setting, I can not fathom anyone sleeping thorough the siren on this thing. If you do, then you need to have your hearing tested!

It is no more noisy than anything else hand held. It is pretty powerful though and there are always trade offs, and that would be noise for power. If it is that bothersome try some light duty hearing protection. I think this could be an issue with most of these units.

as loud as u want? What does that mean? You want it to be as loud as a rocket ship or metallic concert.I think it has lots of volume settings, 10 maybe. I put it as loud as it can go. Its louder than the other oneI had. But I can't tell you the exact decimals. Its loud enough for me. But I can't tell you for sure its loud enoughfor everyone. Louder with anything always costs more money. If you want super loud you will probably have to look higher price range. Its all personal preference.

I'm not sure if it's considered "loud" compared to other units, but it's not a quiet model. It does work very well and a great item for the price.

When it's on the lowest setting it makes a low motor sound. On medium and high it is definitely louder. High is almost too noisy for me.

Yes it's loud!! More than I expected and I'm using the green blanks so sound and range still can be increase.

Rob.. Send it back for replacement. These radios have a few manufacturing issues but once you get a good one there are no issues. The volume on mine is strong and loud.. It's not to be compared with a boom box volume but plenty loud for a single speaker radio as it should be. Only other issue that they all suffer from is that the smaller controls have a slightly loose feel. For the price the 450 is a much better radio than the newer Field branded radio from Eton. But really...send yours back and get a replacement
