How loud is it? Does it sound like a weed wacker?

It is not loud when in use--certainly not as loud as the plug-in Water Pic. There is some sound, but not enough to be unpleasant.

That's an interesting question. No, it is not as loud as like a weed wacker, not even close. It does make noise because it's mechanical and water is being pumped at a high speed. I would compare the noise to my Phillips Sonicare toothbrush. I've used one of these for the past ten years and I get high marks from my dentist, even if he didn't recommend that I use one.

Not very loud, just a gentle, "putt, putt, putt..." As the water squirts out.

Its not really that loud, I don't need earplugs or anything (and I always use earplugs when using a grinder or my air compressor). Its maybe double the loudness of a large gas grill, not really something that would likely wake up the neighbors. Honestly its lots of fun but if you're unsure harbor freight has a super cheap one (fifteen bucks) that is much smaller so you can try it out. I have both and they're about the same loudness.

It is not esp. loud. While we have not used it on our dog we saw no reason it wouldn't do the job.

Yes it is significantly louder. It is very small but I use it outside by pool etc. for the price it is a good little speaker

No, it is not LOUD. It is barely adequate. But it is clear enough. I would never buy it again, not at half the price.

Not sure. It's loud enough that I fear my neighbors in my building will complain. But it's not a going power a huge lawn party. It's loud enough for a loud apartment party. It's a boom box on steroids.

Not super loud. More like annoying. I've only heard mine up close. Haven't tried to see what it sounds like from a distance. Anybody checked to see if the sound can be heard from a distance?

It is not loud. Doesn't seem like a piece of junk to me. It would not work for a long-haired dog. It is really for trimming beards.

It has a consistent buzz that is by no means loud but I'm not sure I would categorize it as quiet either. Sort of like white noise.

It's quite loud. If you are looking for a quiet model this may not be for you.

It is loud and it does sound good. Impressive bass on this box. I use it quite a lot outside and have had it for several years.

As for the noise level, it is pretty quiet actually. The herb pods seem to be doing great. Please keep in mind though that they only last for a few weeks, then new ones should be planted. I was not thrilled about the herb kit that came with it, LOT of basil.

It's almost similar to a truck horn. It's loud, between a motorcycle / car (with electrical horn) and a truck.

Yes, it is loud. I was warned by one the reviews before buying it, but bought it anyway. I am happy with the machine overall, but the noise has got the biggest downside.

The sound travels well in all directions, but I would say it is about half to 3/4 as loud as the Boom. That being said, it is loud enough for a garden, patio or terrace party. At full volume it's difficult to hold a conversation next to it without raising your voice to an uncomfortable level.

Not very noisy at all. Since I use it outside, what little sound it produces is not a problem.

Not very loud at all, you can absolutely shoot it in backyard, I do all the time in residential neighborhood I live in
