Hi. Will this whistle in short distances - like in a small yard outside or a long hall inside - or does it have to be thrown far to make noise?

This is not a "loud" whistle But it is also not quiet one either. The dogs can hear the whistle very well and are able to keep track of it even though they can't see it sometimes. In my opinion these are the best chuck it balls available.

I have never heard it whistle. Long throw or short throw. My dogs do love them, I have at least 20 of them around here, inside and out. I have a Yorkie that is obsessed with the small balls and also my bulldog. I bought some of the medium ones but the do not like them. They only play with the mediums when they can not find the small ones.

Usually has to be thrown far. If I throw across a yard as hard as I can, it makes a noise. If throwing ball inside the house, it usually doesn't whistle.

It appears to need a pretty good wind speed to whistle. I throw it in a big grass field in the park. Whistles loud enough for me to hear it 100 feet away.Maybe if you chuck it really hard it'll whistle in your yard or hallway...then it might bounce like a super-ball in a mayonnaise jar, but without the jar.

It has to be thrown pretty far, &, truthfully, even then it's not a very loud whistle. I really love the Chuckit balls, but the whistlers aren't necessarily worth the money just for the whistle.

It doesn't depend on the distance but on the speed you throw it - the faster it is, the more it whistles.

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.

It depends on whether you are indoors, or out, what the background noise level is, and what you are using the blower for. For a children's bounce house or slide, or other inflatable with high airflow resistance, it's not possible to have a normal-voice conversation within a ten foot radius of the blower. You will have to shout to be heard. I agree with the other posters that the unit is quiet, but only when you are about 25 feet or more away from it. I've reduced the noise by placing a three-sided cardboard box, with a top, over and around it, with one side open on the same side as the blower air intake port.

i thought it was noisy when it's really still out ,but when it's windy it's not noticeable. it of course has a fan in it so it's gonna have some noise to it. ( i'm sending mine back) got busted a few time while bowhunting thinking it would do the job on downwind deer ....hard to beat a deers nose.

I use it only at my weekend house and don't remember if it has a whistle. Not only do you need a whistle, but you need one you can hear!

We are using it in a salon atmosphere where blow dryers are going throughout the day, so I had not noticed if there was much "noise" coming from the unit. Also, we keep it in the back of the salon where it is coolest in the winter. It doesn't appear to be loud but yes, I can hear it blowing when I am close by. Being I'm not in a quiet environment I'm not sure this answer is going to be much help. Have a nice day.

It's actually pretty loud. I put it on a lagnyard so it hangs from my neck. I haven't actually used it to deter dogs (and hopefully won't have to) but am relatively confident it would work from a distance away.

it is very quiet like a dull pop but if people 20 feet away if outside might hear it. if they are inside they will not. if you have a basement try it there

The beep is loud enough to hear from a distance. It does not screech. My house is about 60 feet long and I could hear it from one end to the other. I could also hear it when my keys were placed behind some walls. It works well.

The blower is not very loud but we use it outside, and we have an amplifier that we use with it. It is SUPER simple to set up and it is really nnice to use.

It ofcourse makes noise, but less than a lawn mower. You run it outside and I can hear it in the house, but it doesn't bother us.

The best you can do is either put a dead cat on it or a blimp. It doesn't pick up much noise outside anyway unless it's REALLY windy. Mild wind noise will cancel itself out unless it's hitting the mic dead on the front end.As for distance, the sound quality will deteriorate with distance. I would not go more than 5-8 feet from the subject. Use a boom if needed.

I believe it is loud enough. I use one in my crawl space and expect to hear it. In a closed space like that, it might take a little while to hear it and wonder what that sound is. But it's a piercing sound.

Not sure of the range, but it is VERY LOUD.I have it on a backyard gate that is about 20' from the back door, and it can be heard WELL thru the entire house. Hope this helps!

This device is mounted on the outside of my home at about waist high level. I cannot hear it running when I am anywhere inside my home. In order to hear this fan , I have to be standing directly next to it outside

Its loud and could disturb your neighbors. I have 3 children and they were bothered by the whistles in the beginning. But they have gotten used to it with time.

It sounds like air blowing (not loud). You can set the pitch. Our dog clearly hears it, but it's not distracting to people. Our dog is really trained to it, and comes promptly (we don't have little ones, so I don't have actual data on this, but adults don't here it). I will try it when my grand kids are here at Christmas (ages 4 & 7). We are very happy with it (have 2).
