How loud is the pager when the alarm goes off? I am a deep sleeper and am wondering if the pager, not the alarm, is loud enough to wake me.

I too am a deep sleeper and I sleep on the second floor on the opposite side of the house. The alarm is very loud. Additionally, the pager itself is quite loud and will continue to beep even after the alarm outside has gone off. One of the best purchases I have made for the security of my motorcycle.

the pager is fairly loud. I usually keep it right next to my bed and seems loud enough to wake me. I would recommend keeping the batteries fresh on the pager and the alarm. enjoy!

Yes, I would say this machine is fairly quiet. I have definitely heard and used much louder machines. It wouldn't wake someone up if they were asleep.

It is very LOUD when set to the loud setting. I wear hearing aids and cannot hear the alarm when it's set to the low setting, And that's with my hearing aids! It's a shrill, loud sound.

They do make a very minor click sound. I wouldn't call it loud by any means, but if you're a very light sleeper it could be a problem. I do like that you can set the maximum volume of the alarm and that it starts quiet and works up to the max volume you have programmed. I've never had a clock that does that.

Mom is somewhat hearing impaired and wears hearing aids. If she is wearing the watch on her wrist, she can definitely hear the alarm go off. But sometimes she just puts the watch in her pocket. In that case, most of the time she does not hear the alarm. I can hear it from across the room when it is in her pocket, but she can't. I think the alarm is fairly loud but not super loud. As far as I know, it does not have a vibrate feature.

Of course it depends on how far the pager is from the patient's room. In my case, we are in adjacent bedrooms. Unless you silence (turn off) the pager immediately after it's activated by the base unit, it is likely audible in the patient's room (and to the patient). It would be nice if there were some sort of volume control; I have to sleep with the pager in a sock or under a pillow and it still is frighteningly loud when it goes off. Better than not being able to hear it at all, though.

I have sensitive ears, so the alarm was so loud to me that I didn't just let it go to see if it reset itself. I just shut it off physically. Hope that helps.

If barrier is broken the sensor the pager will make a very loud sound. As there was no adjustment for sound control, we always placed the pager in another room. Trust me, you will hear the sound. This device was a life saver for the family as caregivers for our father. I daresay it prevented many falls and broken bones.

I set my iPhone clock app to wake me up through the iHome iPL10. When the alarm turns on it is very faint then gradually increases in volume. Never "scares" me awake. Not sure if that is the iPhone clock app alarm or if it is the iHome that controls the gradual increase in volume. I have not used the integrated alarm on the iHome clock - but my guess is that the iHome controls the volume as well. I'll try it tomorrow and let you know.

If you install the included powerchute software, you can configure alarms to sound at all times, or you can choose to have alarms silenced during a selectable window of hours, or when the PC is in hibernation. I've got 3 of these devices, and the two on my PCs are set to alarm 24/7. However, the only time they've ever sounded is when I first turn them on there is a short beep, and during a real power failure. Not all all intrusive.

The toaster does have an alarm. No, it's not very loud. It's works OK. Probably not worth the money.

No, unfortunately it DOES NOT! That would be a welcome enhancement. It has a very loud doorbell type ding dong, and an annoying "line ranger" tune! I muffle the pager at night under a pillow on the floor near my bed. You can hear it all through the house!! On the positive side, it is sturdy! I've dropped it several times and it still works!!

My alarm gets progressively louder the longer it on. After about 1 minute it's very loud. So I haven't set the loudness.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. I guess it's all relative. It's loud without being abrasive. I have decent hearing, so I liked that it gradually increases (over about 15-30 seconds) so I can usually turn it off before it gets too loud. I have used it in two different apartments and can always hear it, even while in the shower. But it typically doesn't seem to stir my sleeping fianc, who is a very heavy sleeper. Hope this helps.

Honestly the light always wakes me up before the actual alarm goes off, it's a gradual light. I use the bird noise which is less alarming than beeping but as others have said all you have to do is turn down the volume.

Depends on your definition of loud. Will it wake up someone sleeping in the same room? Probably.

The alarm has a couple of settings but even the lowest setting is quite loud. I would think it would wake a heavy sleeper especially set on the highest setting.
