The alarm on this timer is plenty loud. It is also small enough to stick in your pocket if you are leaving the area.

It is not loud at all. I have a mild hearing loss but this would not wake me even 3ft from my ears. If you need loud, buy an 120v digital, the Tozai (spl? ) I have is really loud, the Timex has a loud and soft switch. Both are old clocks.

it's more like 4 inches. I don't remember - I sent it back so fast!! It has the most horrible sounding alarm - really a hideous sound - and so loud it could wake the dead! - (maybe that's a good thing??)

The buttons beep when setting both minutes and seconds, also on Start or Stop. They are about 6 or 7 out of 10 on a loudness scale, where 10 is annoyingly loud, and 1 is barely audible. I can hear the alarm in a room about 20 - 25 steps away.

Yes. The volume can be adjusted from mute to annoying loud. However, for proper installation, I recommend adding either the wired or wireless siren. The siren will only go off when the alarm has been triggered. This way the sound is audible to everyone outside.

I do not use it any more. The alert is not loud enough. I purchased it for using it in shopping mall, airport, or other public areas, where a lot of noises are present. In many places, I even cannot hear the alter because the noise surrounding me. The alert is loud enough when I was testing it at home or in our neighborhood.

Depends on level of impairment. My hearing is not the best and I can hear it fine. It is not real loud, like a person speaking in a normal voice. A very nice scale.

No, and the alarm is extremely loud. I use the chime it is loud enough to here if my ASD son is entering an area of the home he is not permitted to.

Of the 3 types of alarms I have had, this is by far the loudest. We currently have it located in a 20'x30' open area, more or less, and there's no way you could not hear it. It echoes since the room isn't furnished yet. We are in the process of building and haven't spent a night there yet to answer about the middle of the night, but I'm very confident that it would, if it were within 15' of your bedroom.

It is louder than the other one I own which is a different brand. I can hear it beeping from another room but if you are hearing impaired I'm not sure - it is not high pitched or extremely loud.

Quite loud. Well it depends how close you are to your neighbors, but if you leave in a house I don't think it will wake them up.

I don't know the exact decibel level. It makes noise but I have not found it terribly loud. You wouldn't want to use it near when anyone nearby was sleeping.

This scale volume is loud enough and I do believe someone with impaired hearing should be ale to hear it. I have had no problems with my scale.

I can't tell you in decibels, but it is pretty loud. Too loud to operate in the morning when some are still sleeping

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

The receiver has a switch that can be turned off and the volume can be set on low or high. At low we can hear it throughout the house. Volume is not the issue. It's the frequent false alarms that is bothersome.

I just tested my alarm. It's SUPER loud (loud enough you can hear it a block away.) I don't think you can hear it 2-acres away though.
