From the noise perspective, can I use this in a closed area like a garage or something? Will it create a loud sound when I dry fire?

The only sound is a small click that happens when the firing pin strikes the base.

It will be the same sound you get when dry firing your rifle without a snap cap, the snap cap just aids in loading practice and protects the firing pin during dry fire drills.

Dry firing on a snap cap chambered in a center fire rifle "Sounds the Same" as when dry firing without a Snap Cap in the gun. A Snap Cap is the exact dimensions of the caliber bullet, without any primer or charge. It is meant to cycle the action for Practice of loading, chambering and unloading a gun...period!

Yes it makes some noise. I have it in a storage area of the basement adjacent to the home theater, and it's too noisy when it cycles on -- can clearly hear it through the drywall and door. It's not really loud, but it's loud enough that's it's annoying when you're watching a movie and there's a quiet scene. Trying to figure out how I can quiet it down.

I don't know for the first but I wouldn't use it near an open flame regardless. For the second I don't think so. I used it with the windows closed and had no problems.

No. Its not very loud at all. The problem is the gauge is not accurate, and it seems they've known about the issue but haven't fixed it yet. It will also blow fuses if you're not careful.

It's not too loud behind a closed door. They sell dampeners also that are rubber and help reduce the noise

Yes. Its just a basic positive/negative solinoid. BUT this horn is EXTREAMLY loud. I'm not sure id put it in a closed space. I work in a truck yard and its louder then any truck I've ever heard.

It is not low noise. Can't here over it. Maybe like a blow dryer, Bounce house is great though! Have a 3, 4, and 1 yr old All love it

I would not recommend that because a) it does not have any way to take in fresh outside air, meaning you would have negative pressure in your house and would be using your breathing air for combustion, b) it would not distribute heat throughout the house...you'd need ductwork, and c) it's pretty loud for inside a house. Not bad for a garage, but not great for a house. I think there must be better ways to heat a small house, including electric radiant heaters. You could buy several for the cost of one of these. Just my opinion.

It is not loud at all. I use mine in the basement while my family is asleep. I use it to cut brass and it is about as loud as a box fan on high power. You should be fine.

I hear no noise at all so I wouldn't hesitate to mount it outside a bedroom. Ours is not fully loaded so, if yours will be, it might buzz but I doubt it.

No, it isn't that loud, however if you want to set it off in your home or in an indoor environment be careful, keep it at least 3 feet away from you and you should be fine. I have had one blow up right atmy feet about two feet away from me while crouching down during an airsoft match, I only got startled, my ears were not damaged. But just to be safe keep it at a distance.

If there's a bedroom right above they're going to hear it. Regarding neighbors, if you're in a multi-unit townhouse our something similar they're going to hear it as well. If you're in a SFR it's no problem unless you're screaming like Bruce Lee. Regardless, my suggestion would be to add a good strong spring to your set-up to take stress off the wood beam/mount and to also reduce noise somewhat.

I haven't tried it outside. The sound is loud enough to hear a couple of rooms away inside the house.

I use mine in my basement while I am working in the same room. It is not noisy in my opinion. I doubt anyone could hear it through a wall. Set it on a piece of short napped indoor/outdoor carpet or something.

It's not as loud as some i have heard (thinking of my dad's old shopsmith back in the day...that thing could wake up a dead stick). but its noticeable. I have it in my 2 car garage...i can turn it on, shut the door to the garage (it's a typical cheap thin interior door), walk to my bedroom on the opposite end of the house, and shut that door..and i can barely hear it (i could probably sleep with that level). my house has 50 yr old insulation in it's walls. it's reminiscent of a loud vacuum cleaner...no real tinny or metalic noise. hope that helps.

How much ambient noise? Is it enclosed? Whether you're talking about either an open air area or a pretty large, probably loud closed environment, that's going to be a fairly tall order for this speaker, I think. You might want to try something a little bigger.
