Is the sound volume good? I have elderly in the house and our current wireless doorbell isnt loud enough.

It can be a pretty soft ring. Unless in a very small apartment this is going to be too quiet.

The sound volume is good. One of the tunes is a low frequency tune which is for the hearing impaired which may help better if the volume is not loud enough for you.

My aide is in an upstairs bedroom, and when I press the button downstairs, I can hear the alarm upstairs (provided the doors are open). I assume that would make it loud enough for the person near it.

I would equate it to a door chime. It's loud enough for me (hard of hearing). I have the alarm on a tree in the driveway and it will chime 13 times when something passes it. I haven't tried the alarm but understand it's pretty loud. It will pick up squirrels, deer and other critters that pass through. I'm happy with it.

The noise level is about average for a microwave. You hear it, but it's not obnoxious. The thing to be concerned about with this model is the latch on the door. Once that goes, the microwave won't work.

Trash it and get you a Chamberlain Wireless Motion Alert. I got 3 of them and they are working great. No digging holes to bury them in either :-)

There's a choice of sound button on the chime box, (but I don't think there are chimes, only songs, which is fine with me), plus also a volume control button. It's as easy as pie. I have my ringer on the mailbox next to the door and everybody uses it.

its good for smaller areas, but The volume overall is not loud enough for my liking. But every thing does sound clear.

Pretty good. It probably depends on how often your doorbell rings. I change about twice per year.

Thanks for your inquiry. This doorbell is wireless and the hard-wire one is not available on our store. So sorry for this.

K. I got this for a second house. I haven't been there since installed, but my nephew is saying that it is loud. Reach out 2/1, and I will give you an update.

The device will most of the time decrease the volume. It won't be desirable for senior who needs TV to be louder.

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.

I bought this for my 83year old mother and we think the speaker works well. She lives next door and we could hear each other very clearly.

The sound really carrys, i live in a 1 bdrm and we can hear it in all areas. If youre using it as background music cpuld work great. Not sure if those 40 will be talking it may not be loud enough.

My parents are in their 80's and they hear quite well on the phones, but they do not have severe hearing loss. I bought the pair of phones so when I make my weekly call I can talk to Mom on the sofa and Dad in the big chair and hear them clearly myself. When they use them, I can hear them quite well, but they keep reverting to the old speaker phone on the other side of the room they are hard to hear.

You can use an existing doorbell. That is what I did and it works beautifully.

Yes, I suppose it would "work". I would caution against this unless you want everyone in the office to throw something at you. It is quite loud (as loud as a normal doorbell) and there is no volume control. They make units that are wireless (sold on Amazon.com) that have volume controls but the receiver is battery powered as well as a remote. I can't recommend this for in a small populated area like an office cubical cluster.
