is is loud enough? I tried several sound machines and they were not loud enough for me to block the noises in the street. Is this one loud enough?

No, you can still hear background noise, which is good especially if you street run. Depending on the device, I used 7 Th generation nano, they can play pretty loud. As I mentioned they are great but not if you wear glasses, which I do.

The noise canceling feature isn't as good as I thought it'd be BUT it does block out the majority of it. As for if people can hear my music? Absolutely. By no means does this product stop others from hearing your music. I can wear it around my neck and turn it into a portable speaker. Then again, this may be different with other music genres. I listen to metal and funk mainly so I don't know how other genres compare. I'll leave it for you to decide, but I give this product a 9.5 out of 10.

It probably will cancel the traffic noise but the beat from the bass from the bar definitely will still vibrate through your apartment. There's little you can do about unwanted vibration except move!

You need to use it in the garage or front/back porch....not in the house. It's not loud enough to bother neighbors.

How is it with sound? I may be one of a few, but I like my fans to make noise because it blocks out the irking street sounds of cars going by and loud music. I'd rather have fan noise than that irking noise!

No, it does not block out street noise when it is turned off, although it may be muffled very slightly. When it is not running, why would you expect that it would block out noise from the street completely? There is still the rest of the window with glass in it - just as before.

Hello there. If you are outside, it is not loud at all. Inside, there might be some.

No sir. We purchased this certain model - for my husband - and it has turned out to be very good at keeping out the noise, BUT when it comes to using the radio - it fades out / completely at times, quite a bit. Thus, he has an expensive pair of outside noise blockers.

It is not quiet per say but it isnt the loudest one I have had... I would not get it if you are trying to not let other hear you, if that makes sence.

I carry mine around busy san francisco streets with volume all the way up sometimes the noise around still over takes the music.l and friends walking with me don't hear it well

It's not silent, obviously, and I don't have any other generators to compare it to, but to me it seems relatively quiet. When I run it out on the driveway about 8 feet from the garage with the exhaust pointed away, I can't hear it in my house unless I go upstairs to the room directly over the garage. Even then, it's not particularly loud. I certainly don't need ear protection when I'm standing next to it. There are some videos on youtube you can listen to, such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqIPeDCumrY

Yes, it is very loud. We use it in an ice cream truck and are told that the kids can here it blocks away.
