Why isn't there a loudness level in decibels? The fact that there isn't leads one to think it was omitted because it would shock a lot of customers.

Hi Terry. Good point. Worth asking the seller. I don't know if all ac from them have the same issue. Plus, people may have different levels of tolerance for noise. I couldn't sleep. Maybe it is just me.

I would agree. It is shockingly loud. I cant have it on at night. I mainly use it in early evening to cool my bedroom down to sleep. Our climate is cool here so it works for what i want. The grinding noise sounds at times like it will self destruct!

If it's one in proper working order then it's quiet enough. When you first start it it may produce a "sound" but I wouldn't call it a deafening sound, it's just a bit louder than the unit normally is. After a few minutes it goes away and the A/C is pretty quiet. If it were loud I would have returned my unit.

That's a pretty lame description of the problem. Details, please. "My sound didn't increase at all." This means next to nothing . . .

I don't know because it wasn't loud enough for me so I returned it. But the company is very attentive and will answer the Q for you.

On low not at all. It is noticeable on medium and I think high would be too loud

The speaker has built-in limiting if your levels get too high to protect it. My philosophy is headroom is meant to be used :) I think you will know when you get there.

It's intended purpose is to tame room frequency peaks and nulls. I suppose if you want to alter the intended balance of the music it could be useful. I agree with Ashok, total overkill.

The speakers can take a lot of power. The problem is pushing amplifiers beyond the point where they can provide clean, undistorted power to achieve the loudness levels selected. In other words, the problem with speakers failing is usually not with speakers but with owners not understanding that amplifiers can be pushed too far. You cannot turn an amplifier all the way up without jeopardizing speakers. Even 3/4ths on the volume dial may be too much.

There is a high and low setting.high is pretty loud.low is still loud-_-but not too

Maybe there is some variance? I don't know. Others say it's soft, some say it's loud. I think it's just slightly above average at about 6. If you dislike the sound I can imagine it would be annoying.

Because it doesn't have the vibrating alarms needed for deaf people. If you can't hear the beeps, it's useless. Hope that helps.

When I say they are loud, they are loud. I can't even put them up to 50 without dealing with roommates or other people next door having to tell me to turn it down. I haven't had that happen unless on my game or watching TV. That's just me on the audio quality. I still need to mess with it to see if there's a way, if I wanted to, to change the audio to concert hall or some other kind of audio format option.

It maybe needs tuned. Your amp has enough wattage to make it loud enough to make people cover their ears when turned up. Have you searched the home theatre FORUMS for answers? That usually helps

The problem is not just the speakers. There isn't sufficient amplification to product acceptable sound levels.best to get a sound bar or an inexpensive receiver and speakers. YMMV

True, it made it more expensive, and you had to obtain other items, but it was an option which is no longer available on any of the Sony sound bars at this time. The ability to add other speakers to the system made it a viable sound system for the patio or basement or other location in the home. It was an option...not mandatory. I always like to have options. I dislike having options taken away from me.

Response is based on the quality of the signal source, not the connections. Everyone's ears (and brain) hear differently. As a senior citizen (and then some), volume solved a great deal of problems.

That was a concern of mine as well, since the design is supposed to be kind of open. I usually listen at about 1/3 - 1/2 max volume, and a couple of times I took out my earbuds and held them in front of me and I couldn't hear anything. So I think they're pretty decent at directing the sound, although this is obviously not a thorough test.

I believe that the asker is inquiring if a speaker can be purchase without another transmitter and remote control. Hopefully it would cost less than a complete system. I haven't found one yet but I would be interested. I also feel that the system is misrepresented as "stereo". With only a single load speaker in the cabinet, the system can't truly reproduce stereo sound unless another unit is purchased.
