How loud is the alarm on this item? I'm tired of burning meals when I've carried my timer to the living room with me and still can't hear it.

The alarm is loud enough to hear it if you're wearing it in a pocket, but not that loud to hear it more than 20 feet away.

Loud enough and persistant to the point the alarm is annoying, even if you are in a different room from the alarm. I've used this as a cooking reminder to avoid burning meals and I can easily hear the alarm wherever I am inside a thousand + square foot house.

Mine isn't loud, I was able to leave it running in the kitchen and hear the tv in that room without turning it up.

I have had mine for years and years but I can't really answer! I use the alarm sound which will go off ten separate times probably 30 sec. Or so apart. I have had on since around 1978-ish and am only on my second one. I t is set for 4 separate alarms. I love the convenience of being able to grab my alarm and a couple containers when we go to my son's for an overnight. Good size too for the purse don't you agree? If you haven't purchased it yet I suggest you do. Enjoy.

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.

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

No, I can't. It isn't noisy to an unbearable extent. If food is not taken out, the beeper will remind you every a short while, it won't beeping all the time.

It is quite loud, it may do the trick. There are also alarm clocks that have a "Nature Sounds" setting that are also quite loud. I have one by Memorex that has such a feature. Good luck!

It's pretty high pitched. I have trouble hearing it. It would be a great alarm if "alert" was lower frequency and a bit louder.

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

Jim, I had the same question when I purchased the unit. The audible alarm is LOUD. Open the unit and remove the pill tray. There are 4 small philips head screws, when removed will allow you to lift the top of the unit off. Be careful when aligning the plastic drive gear for the pill tray when reassembling. The audible alarm has wires that are soldered to the circuit board. Just cut either wire and the audible alarm will not sound, but the light will work as designed. Hope this helps.

My original timer was fine but the replacement is very loud. The ticking can be heard in the next room. I will be switching to a solid state timer.

Sorry, just seen your question. The alarm is a shrill shrieking sound, less than 5seconds followed by a big puff of air. You actually can turn it on schrieking sound or puff of air, or both. I recommend using both to start out, then turn to just alarm sound. After awhile all they need yo see is the can. They won't go near it, and its absolutely harmless. Best deterrent product ever.

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!

It is literally like the loudest alarm, it scares you awake! It is meant more for heavy sleepers, are you meaning to use it as a timer?

You appear to have a defective alarm, it should sound as soon as it comes into contact with moisture. Try one last test and this time use water instead of moistened paper and see if it makes a difference. If not you need to contact Amazon and return it. Good Luck

If you're a sensitive sleeper and it's in the same room you might notice it a little, but overall the noise would not wake you up. The loudest thing you will hear is the food dropping imo
