I want a cheap way to keep chipmunks from pooping outside my kitchen door. Can I turn the sound down so that I don't wake the neighbors?

You can always just pad the mini speaker...with some flexible rubber, or foam of sorts, it should deaden the sound...

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 motor is running for only the few pre-set seconds needed to dispense the food. During that time, the sound emitted by the feeder is only sufficient to attract the attention of your pet (their hearing is quite keen), but certainly not so loud as to awaken members of the family who might still be sleeping. Neighbors in an adjacent apartment should not be able to hear the feeder at any time unless they have their ear to the wall. Noise is not a problem . Just keep this in mind: the sound which is heard is not that of a motor, but of the actual kibble dropping into the plastic tray. We have two of these feeders in our home and they are timed to go off at approximately the same time, twice a day. A great product and made here in the U.S.A. Hope that helps.

Not that I know of. It does emit a short high pitch sound every 30 seconds or so. The ground hogs may get annoyed with it and leave. It does not annoy me. Left it there for 3 months and took it down. Got rid of my gopher.

You can turn the volume low enough that you cannot hear it. Check your settings.

Yes. There are both options. You can set it so the light changes from "sleeping bunny" to "awake bunny" without noise. The other option is with sound and it sounds like a rooster when it goes off.

The light does click off and there is a sound, but unless you are close by it would be best to use a timer you can hear and set it so that the waffles are just as you like them.

I use it as a makeshift door for my room above the garage. I can hardly hear any noise at all coming from downstairs. If you tacked them on the wall adjacent to a noisy neighbor it would for sure cut down on the sound.

no you don't, its a sound onl animals can hear. but I don't think this product works . I saw mice walk right by it.

I don't think so. If it is too loud, you could try setting a glass over it. Even though I wish it were quieter sometimes, there are other times when I am glad that I can hear it when I am not close to it.

Our neighbor has these and they are obnoxious! My parents don't hear them as well because it is a higher pitch and the older lady that has them assures us that there is NO noise, but I beg to differ. You cannot hear them inside our house, but as soon as I step outside (even if I'm on the other side of our yard) I can hear them. They also drive the dogs nuts causing them to bark every time they hear it!

Since we use the fan on our enclosed front porch, the beeping doesn't bother us, but, unfortunately, I do not think there is any way to turn down the volume.

I haven't found a way to completely silence the beeping when arming the system or upon entering the house to disarm, but if you go to settings and turn the volume all the way down and then save that setting, it will turn the beeping down really low. With the volume all the way down the system will still sound the alarm at a high volume in the event of an unauthorized entry. Hope this helps.

Yes. The volume can be adjusted from mute to annoying loud. However, for proper installation, I recommend adding either the wired or wireless siren. The siren will only go off when the alarm has been triggered. This way the sound is audible to everyone outside.

The only solution i found was to put a bit of electrical tape on the holes on the top of the unit, it muffles the sound a bit. But it is still too loud for my tastes.

It won't bother the neighbors but you can hear it. It beeps fairly long like 15 beeps or so. There is like 20 second delay before it will activate again. We live in the country and have to unplug it at night because the deer keep triggering it.

Yes, aim the beam across the walkway and your all set. Turn the control off at night if you don't want the local chipmunk or squirrel setting it off and waking you up with a startle. But a person could come up without you knowing? Depends on your situation.

The sound is loud. It depends on how close to the bedrooms you place it as to whether it would wake the family. We have used ours on a storage/sitting bench in front of our kitchen window. Our sheltie would jump up ,look out the window and bark at everything that she saw. We tried several ways to stop her. It only took about 3 days for her to avoid the bench completely. I have had it turned off for about 2 months and she never has jumped up again. This product was a really wonderful solution for us.
