It's loud, and you need to put the speaker outside the car.. Behind the grill of example so you can hear it better.. No wires and no amps.. It comes with everything you need to conect the alarm

They are pretty amazing for the money, can't hear them to well on the freeway though. PS my bike is pretty quiet. If you have a loud bike you'll want to keep shopping...

I haven't experienced the noise issue you are speaking about. I have driven both in town and on the highway.

It actually isn't loud when your driving normally. Say on city streets. However stepping on the gas and on places like on the highway you can hear the big difference in sound. That's where it can be loud. It's not ridiculously loud. But it's satisfying loud :)

Mine was noisy enough that you would have to speak loudly to talk over it. It also drew attention from anyone walking nearby. I'll say compared my car idling to power it, it was easily louder than my engine.

It has a volume control and can get pretty loud plus, since there are no wires, you can place it anywhere you might hear it better.

I put this on my motorcycle and no one has a problem hearing me now. I'm sure if you mount it just inside the grill of your truck, it would be heard by everyone. However, if you install two, they probably would hear you in the next county! It's very loud and really gets drivers attention. Hope this helps

Loud isn't always better. It depends on your need. If you need more volume get a headphone amp.

You will need to buy two adapters yes I put in batteries and they do not last at all. It works like a Wilkie talkie I don't hear noise or other talk. I don't believe it will pickup traffic noise I do not know live near busy street though.

Depending on mods it can get pretty loud. My car had good mods and it was very load buy I live in GA and the cops don't really pull us over for stuff like that

I have this in my car and it picks up any ambient noise including road noise so it most likely will pick up noise from a different room. There is a sensitivity knob to change how sensitive it is to change the light color based on the noise.

Yes, but it depends how loud the street traffic is. This makes a steady wooshing sound. I wouldn't call it loud but it's not quiet either. It drowns out background noise well.

Hey Martha, I love the sound of the project you have! Yes, this system is loud! I can hear it really well at freeway speed. Any 12v battery will power this amp, it just depends on the amp/hour rating as to how long before you have to charge it back up. Google "amp/hour rating" and you'll find a wikipedia article or something that will allow you to figure how long you can run the amp.

I tested this, and the music had to be really loud (old-school jungle at 120% volume loud) for someone next to me in a quiet room to report hearing anything. This is not, importantly, because of anything like "noise cancellation" (which messes with the signals themselves) but simply good design; you will have to turn the music off before you take them off your head in a library, because they do project some sound otherwise. Also, if you live in a city in which being annoying on public transport is considered unacceptable, please send brochures

Very quite. With road noises and any audio, this is typically not heard at all (even with no audio, noise is minimum)

It's worth giving them a chance. The key is placing them correctly in your ear. If you manage to hear your voice wierd them you have place them correctly. I have a road with 24h of heavy traffic and they really work.

WA law too. No, I returned this. Unless you have a nice car that mutes street noise, not a great buy. No one could hear me.
