is the alarm loud enough to be heard upstairs?

No, you would not ordinarily be able to hear from upstairs. I can hear it in my living room from the utility room nearby but can not hear it outside that area. It's about the same volume as my travel alarm clock.

Yes. The volume can be adjusted from mute to annoying loud. However, for proper installation, I recommend adding either the wired or wireless siren. The siren will only go off when the alarm has been triggered. This way the sound is audible to everyone outside.

Not loud. You have to be within a few feet to hear it. If you install it on a different floor or in a location you don't frequent you probably will not hear it. Look elsewhere.

Hi Amy,The alarm was loud enough to wake my husband and I up from across the hall, but my son slept right through it every time. We'd have to go wake him up. Quite honestly the alarm is so loud and so close to his ear I was concerned about hearing damage. You really don't want an alarm louder than this one. The volume is adjustable.

It is much louder than average. I have a 15 yr old son that sleeps through must alarms but not this because it can be turned up really high. Hope this help with your choice!

Probably... I guess it depend on how soundly you sleep & where the receiver is. Ours is in the kitchen and we can hear it in the bedroom upstairs about 40 feet away...and it will wake us. If you're worried about missing the alarm, why not purchase a second receiver for the bedroom... I have one in my unattached garage workshop so I know if someone is entering the property..

Of the 3 types of alarms I have had, this is by far the loudest. We currently have it located in a 20'x30' open area, more or less, and there's no way you could not hear it. It echoes since the room isn't furnished yet. We are in the process of building and haven't spent a night there yet to answer about the middle of the night, but I'm very confident that it would, if it were within 15' of your bedroom.

It is not any louder than a drill or scroll saw. I don't think it would wake a person in another room.

i think it is a standard decible level for alarms - not particularly quiet. Sounds just like the travel alarm I've got.

Yes, I have it set for radio alarm like my old one and the volume can be turned up loud.

It's pretty high pitched. I have trouble hearing it. It would be a great alarm if "alert" was lower frequency and a bit louder.

The alarm is loud enough to hear it if you're wearing it in a pocket, but not that loud to hear it more than 20 feet away.

The receiver has a switch that can be turned off and the volume can be set on low or high. At low we can hear it throughout the house. Volume is not the issue. It's the frequent false alarms that is bothersome.

The alarm is not quiet. You can hear it quite well. The clock itself is quiet. You can't hear the ticking like you can in some other noisy ones. And I am very happy about that!

Yes, I think so. I live in a single story house. My husband can't hear it in his office which is next door. I love it, hope you will too!

it is loud but its the way you set it up as to how loud it rings-you could pretty much hear it as long as your not in the upstairs and with a tv on-but its a pretty good ring to it

Yes, it can be heard in another room. Our caregivers are awakened in the night if my mother tries to get out of bed. I suppose the others in the house will also be awakened by the alarm as it is loud enough to be heard from about 30 feet away.
