It vibrates if the baby stops breathing and if there is no movement from the baby in 5 secobds it alarms so you can respond.

Yes，it's much quieter than my old one (same brand). Leave it on, it wouldn't bother your sleeping.

The closing mechanism does make a noise but I don't consider it loud. Our gate is closed to the baby's bedroom and it has never woken her up.

The motor is loud. But u can cover it while using the motor which does decrease noise...I did that when I did not want to wake grandchild.

Honestly, I don't have the unit under the mattress. I actually have it setting on the mattress in one of the corners of the crib and have the handle sticking outside the slats of the crib, so at any time I can sneak up and turn the unit on without baby knowing. Having the unit on top of the mattress creates a better vibration and the hum of the vibrator on the mattress is a plus to help baby sleep longer and better.

I shared your skepticism back in my purchasing days. I can tell you this is a solid unit and it resides on the window of a 1.5 yr old baby......so far, it has never woken up our lil one. The compressor is pretty silent.

I've found that when swaddled it still works. The only issue we've had is if you have the baby with you in the bed, it reads your movement as the babies. Not a problem if you're awake but if you fall asleep be aware it may not alert you if baby stops breathing. We also have had it go off a few times for no apparent reason. But over all it is worth getting.

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.

Kind of like a jigsaw. Not real bad. I wouldn't use it with a baby sleeping though!

mine is super quiet and my daughter is 26.5 lbs, I don't know if I just lucked out, but you can hardly hear it's on at all. She's been using it from birth for her naps and when she was newborn she'd like to sleep nights in it too. (gotten a lot of use)

I always have the sound machine on when baby is asleep. Because I can hear the sound machine via the monitor, I know the monitor is working. I can still hear the slightest noise baby makes.

Wouldn't want to use it next to a very light sleeper. I turn up the TV slightly when using it. I wish it was slightly quieter but do not think the noise would keep me from buying it.

Yes, you just have to remember to turn the monitor off. I like the monitor that only detects movement because the off/on switch stays in the baby's room. It is easy to turn off if you forget (I nurses baby in her room). You can use a regular sound monitor with it (or my baby's room is close enough to our room I really don't use a sound monitor at all because I can hear the alarm without it). This monitor still amazes me. Best thing I have ever bought - gives me such peace of mind.

It does! But only at the first a few seconds when you try to star it. I consider it as how the swing works. At first I was worried that it might wake baby up, but it turns out that he doesn't really care. So it works perfect to us.if you use it at night, it does make some noise, but it matters more to adults who can only sleep in a very quite environment than baby. Since my baby likes kitchen fans noise, the swing noise really doesnt matter.wish my explanation will be use for you. Good luck.

My baby actually loved this. But if he woke up, putting the vibration back on manually or having it set on auto didn't lull him back to sleep. But I really loved it at nap times. He'd be out in 5 min

I do not think you will have any issue getting it to wake your child up. For my daughter, even the quiet setting was loud! Tip for use, Once you put it on the panties put a pull-up over the panties/underwear. The sensor is so sensitive even a little sweat will make it go off, but the pull-up will keep that from happening. This alarm worked great for my six year old daughter and my neighbor is currently having success with her five year old son.

I've used my Snuza with two babies now. The day they learned to roll over, they started sleeping on their stomachs. I started clipping the Snuza on the back of their pants so they wouldn't muffle the alarm by laying on it. It still detects their breathing even touching their back.
