is this loud enough if you put it on a dresser a foot or two away?

Yes! oddly enough it's super loud that way. back side flat down. You can set it to announce every hour or set a timer as you like. Don't get it wet. it hates water I found out the hard way but was lucky and put it in the sun for a day and it started to work again. But I had to reset everything.

Depends on how close others are. It does make some noise, but I, personally, do not find it loud.

Well it's not THAT loud, but it is loud enough to hear it from about 10 to maybe 15 feet away. But it is a pretty subtle loud noise that could be soothing once one has gotten used to it.

Yes. I bought it because I live in a second floor apartment and didn't want to disturb my neighbor downstairs. It's really quiet.

Mine does make some noise when I move it from room to room, however I wouldn't say it is loud.

It was loud. I had to put it in a separate room and close the door. My sister's little plastic stayed on the kitchen counter, and its sounds wasn't noticeable.

Yes it is loud enough. Hopefully you get a similar to my first. For 25 you are getting a steal!!!

Absolutely! You could even hear it from the next room though I noticed the farther you are from it, the sound quality does become a bit hollow, probably just because of the speaker's size. 3 Feet away will be just fine.

It's definitely loud enough and you can pick a song/tune/sound that will make it louder. I'm quite hard of hearing and chose one that yells and I can hear it throughout the house (3200 sf). I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Not sure, I first used it as a folding table for laundry, now I use it for various projects. It's not terribly loud but you can use vinyl shelf liner for noise reduction.

Its not overly loud, direction of exaust matters. I've used with a circular saw, no issues.

Not a lot. I have mine set up behind my dresser. With it plugged in, the feet of my dresser are able to touch the baseboard with no problems.

Absolutely. Very loud for the size of the unit. I have used this model in a 3000 square foot kitchen and it can be heard very well.

not loud at all. I would use it indoors if we had a room big enough and tall enough

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.

First, make sure it is at least 5 feet from your window. Second, the noise it makes is similar to a box fan running on high...essentially that is exactly what it is. But just as sound travels, it is more noticeable in front of it...less as you move away...

if you mean how far away can you hear it, I can tell you that I hear the sound clearly in an office about 30 feet from the door. It is loud enough for any reasonable application.
