How loud is the alarm? My dad is hard of hearing. I'm wondering if he would be able to hear it and respond.

It is high pitched - so if he has high frequency hearing loss - maybe - although it is very loud!!

It is very loud actually! I could hear the alarm from my room in the attic when my grandfather was in his room on the first floor.

I'm not sure. I thought it was quite loud, but it is a high-pitch as I recall. That is the sound that people lose first usually. Does he live alone? If not, it would definitely wake anyone else. I have a baby monitor in Mom's room. It nearly scared me right out of bed, and my room is some distance from hers. Unfortunately, we had lots of false alarms because of the way she turns over in bed (raising up on elbow rather than just rolling.).

I bought this alarm to keep track of my stroke mother I law and my father in law is completely deaf in one ear and heard it very well

It is very loud but it alarms near the bed the person is in. We used it for my Dad who was not supposed to get out of bed but didn't understand it. What I did was put a baby monitor next to the alarm in the bedroom so I could hear it in another room and then would run in and try to get there before he actually got up. The alarm also tends to go off when the person is just turning over or sitting up in bed.... there are a lot of false alarms. It's not ideal but it's better than not having it. Hope this helps.

I found it to be pretty loud with an aggrevating tone.If your dad is in the same room that should be no problem.

It's fairly loud, I would say yes that he would be able to hear it. My mother doesn't hear all that well and she can hear it.

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.

I don't think it nearly as loud as a smoke detector but it is surprisingly loud. At first I also thought it would scare my mom but it doesn't. She has never complained about the noise and she is a fairly picky person. It makes a buzz sound before the actual alarm which sort of warns you a bit. I think it is important that it be fairly loud so that she can hear it if she is down in the other part of the house.

Sorry, no info on decibels, I don't have the box. There are 2 alarms, one is like a doorbell. The other is a loud continuous alarm. Naturally it is going to sound louder in the house, rather than outside. I'm concerned that the leaves on plants, would be blown around by the wind, and set it off. I have 3 of these and anything moving in the front of this alarm will set it off.

No it can't be heard in other rooms which is a bummer. What I did was put a baby video system in the room near the bed alarm and put the other end of the video alarm to where ever I was sleeping. That way I can hear it. We used it for my Dad. My Mom was sleeping in the same room and whenever it went off it would sometimes wake her. The other issues is that when the person using the bed alarm moves sometimes the alarm goes off even if they were not trying to get out of bed. It was a problem with false alarms but it was better than not having it. Hope this helps.

if you touch the alarm when it's on it will go off and will scare the crap out of the theif before he can turn it off it is very loud. i have placed it to where it can't be seen so there is no chance of anyone turning it off with out alerting me.

It's loud and it's always a good idea to wear hearing protection, but you won't wake the kids 2 floors up. I have one in my garage shop and my daughter sleeps really well when it's on. I have a home built in 2004, so drywall, insulation and 2X4 studs.R/Dave

Yes, it can be heard in another room. Our caregivers are awakened in the night if my mother tries to get out of bed. I suppose the others in the house will also be awakened by the alarm as it is loud enough to be heard from about 30 feet away.

Set the alert feature to "siren" mode and it will sound relentlessly. At its highest volume setting, I can not fathom anyone sleeping thorough the siren on this thing. If you do, then you need to have your hearing tested!

Ma'am:I am hearing disabled and I cannot answer that question. I don't think it would be loud enough to be heard in the next room, as you asked.Sorry if I am not able to answer the question completely.

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.

Looks like there is a place on the back of alarm for a speaker but honestly this is one loud alarm. My husband wears hearing aids and has never had a problem hearing this alarm on the high setting. We actually bought this alarm for much the same reason ( so we could hear someone coming up the long driveway when we were in the pool) and have loved it! Bought it 3+ years ago and have never had any trouble with it

I also can hear it from another room. It has a middle to high frequency, which helps. By way of comparison, I *cannot* hear my oven alarm which is raspy and lower pitched unless I am nearby.

My wife mainly uses it, and sometimes the kids mess with the volume during the day, and when it is set high, the alarm startles us. So yes, it can be loud enough if you want. I think it has a progressive function or setting where it gets louder and louder if you do not turn it off. Hope that helps.

I am not sure, all I can say is that it is loud kinda like a fire alarm. My mom can't stand it she said it is to loud.

Hi I don't think so. I have this alarm also and I do not know any way to mute the alarm. Thanks for asking Frank

It makes a noise but not so loud that it would wake someone up. Just my opinion. My family are not light sleepers though!
