Is the volume on the alarm adjustable? I don't want anything too jarring.

There is only 1 volume, but I don't think it's too loud. It may annoy you a little if your in the same room, but in the other room is fine.

I don't think it is. I use the alarm in my classroom, and it reaches over the voices of 30+ students so it is quite loud. Still, I personally do not find it jarring.

I do not think the volume has any andjustment. It has worked fine for my putpose.

Volume not adjustable, but not jarring. Sounds "beep .. beep .. beep" for a couple minutes then stops on its own. Just seems loud for such a tiny timer. I've had larger timers (Pyrex, for example) which I can hardly hear in the next room, and which beep for only 5-10 seconds before stopping. I must admit I do not use this timer as a clock or a "count up" because I only need a timer and this is perfect for my use. I like it so much that I always keep an unopened spare on hand in case I drop and break this one and need an instant replacement.

No, it is fixed, but it is just loud enough to hear from inside the house facing the porch.

It is not adjustable. I cannot quantify the volume of the alarm, but I have never found it too loud. One could probably not hear it from more than 25 feet away.By the way, my timer has worked flawlessly for several years. I do not at all consider it "junk".

I dropped mine and broke it because I had to fiddle too much with it to get it properly set.

No, it is not adjustable. Let me add that I ordered 3. 1 was broken out of the package, and a 2nd one went last week. I no longer think much of the quality. I am now getting ready to order a west bend from amazon for 12.59 or 12.49 can't remember the exact price. You could ask again in a week or so about the West Bend.

Given that the device NEVER worked at all, I can't answer that question. Honestly, in the end I decided it was just cheap junk. After communication with the company that makes the device it was clear they weren't interested in ANY kind of remedy or return.

Not at all, in fact, if you wanted to hear one Starbucks uses this timer in their stores. I'm a teacher and love this timer for its efficiency, durability, and sound. I just read through the other comments and have never had an issue with any of the 11 timers I have (have that many so kids can time themselves reading). Have never had one break even after being dropped many, many times, and handled by 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders. If you order, I hope you are as lucky with them as I have been!

Yes, I have it set for radio alarm like my old one and the volume can be turned up loud.

Yes you can wake to the sounds or the radio or a beeper. The wake-up sounds start at zero volume then slowly increase to a predetermined upper volume level. Then there is a snooze (with variable settings) or any button will turn the alarm off. There are a lot of complexities to all the features, but it's okay once you get used to it. I recommend this product.

The alarm is not real loud, and no volume control. Unless you had this inside in a place a few rooms away, or maybe in basement if it was not far away from the door down to the basement, you wouldn't hear it probably.

No, you can't adjust the volume...and it's loud! I have it in my kitchen, and I can hear it in any part of my 2,400 sq ft 2-story home.

You don't want it loud or you won't sleep.I bought A Sony nature sounds clock radio and it was too loud at full or half volume.Quarter was good.

Unfortunately no - the only suggestion I can make is: set the radio so that a loud static or hiss noise is produced and then hope you wake to that noise when the alarm goes off in the morning.

Not quite sure how you are using this. It only sounds when you "open" the door. You have to break the magnetic connection by seperating the two parts for the alarm to sound. There is no volume control. It is pretty loud.

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.

Yes, you could have the volume down all the way and just have the light set for the alarm.

It is very easy too set the alarm without assistance. It only turns one way so if you go past your intended time just keep going around until you reach the desired time. As for the volume, I think it is loud. It is not the annoying buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz of the previous models it is a digital beep which changes with urgency if you don't turn it off quickly.

I'm don't know if the volume is adjustable. It IS pretty quiet. My daughter, who has no hearing deficit, utilizes a second alarm to be sure she gets her medicine. It's a shame because it is a nice, accurate, long-living device. It even displays the last time you opened the bottle.

No not really,you just have to be careful in listening for it. The alarm is not "soft" but it isn't necessarily load either.

you might have to add a spacer to adjust the levels to be even. perhaps some thick double sided foam tape might work. fyi: the tone (sound) was not loud enough for me...I have uninstalled the product. I am hearing impaired, so it might be loud enough for someone else. easy to use product. Note: the alarm is deafening, even for me.

Sounds defective. I dont think there was a way to silence the alarm otherwise.

Chime has multiple setting, alarm, high and low. Be advised that the low setting is still loud enough to be heard almost anywhere within my two story residence.

No - it's the only thing I don't like about this CD/alarm clock. The buzzer comes on full and LOUD. It's too loud for me. I'm going to change to wake up to radio, at least I can control that volume. This thing would be perfect if the alarm came on low and then went to loud. But it doesn't!
