How loud is is this? Will it also disturb humans? Is it suitable for a large barn area?

Dear Margaux There are two bird repelling settings on the ET Bird Control 2000. Changing this repelling feature is a simple push of a button on the upper left hand side of the unit. The first setting repels more in the Ultrasonic Sound Rages and is very inaudible. The second setting is set between Sonic and Ultrasonic Sounds and this setting is defiantly audible. Its not that bothersome though. If you were in your home and the device was going off just outside you pretty much wouldn't hear the sounds within your home. Also the sounds are very tolerable if you are within the area.

Ours is not even in the house; it is about 1000 feet downhill; however, when it kicks on, it is fairly quiet. I think if it were in our basement or somewhere in our house, it would be difficult to hear. I certainly would not call it noisy....my old one was, however. This one is nearly silent in comparison.

It does make a lot if noise. I was living in a townhome and this was in the basement. My family in the second floor was able to hear the noise and my neighbors had problem too

Not sure. It's pretty loud. I only use it when the dog is barking or jumping so I'm right beside them. I imagine a dog could hear it in an adjoining room..

it isn't very quiet when running. however, I plan on using it mainly for power outages, so the loudness won't be a problem. And it will be running a ways from the house. If you are concerned about loudness, such as for a campsite where it would be run daily, you might want to check the data on several before purchasing one. hope this helps you.

It's loud enough that I wouldn't put it in an open space where people are working. With the door shut on our server closet, I can still hear it a little bit (I sit about 20' from it) because of the vent duct between the office and the closet.

This little thing is pretty noisey. If you can isolate it you'll be fine, otherwise you'll want a larger one that works less. Good luck

This is loud enough for a room not for a party outside. It is not loud enough for the outside period.

It is fairly loud. Nothing that is going to cause issues with neighbors though

The noise level is moderate. I use it only occasionally for rabbit, possum etc and its fine.

Its loud and could disturb your neighbors. I have 3 children and they were bothered by the whistles in the beginning. But they have gotten used to it with time.

It is as loud as any lawnmower would be. If you want quiet get a Honda. I usually set mine up behind my garage so when I'm in the house with the door closed I don't really notice it. But, I couldn't tell you what my neighbors think.

It's not that loud I've used it in class and no one seems to here it except me cause its right in front of my face! I don't know how it would work for you while hunting but in my opinion, I don't think the sound would distract the animals UNLESS they are right in front of it!

It's not as loud as the older models. Depends on how sensitive your neighbors are. I hardly notice it and it is right outside a window, but the window is closed.

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.

It's noisy. high pitch sound, but not unbearable. It's noticeable for sure, so try to place it far away from where you'll be sitting.

It is not too loud; about the same as a window fan. I have mine in the bedroom, and I would not be able to sleep if it was very noisy.
