Hi John, Yes, those braille embossers are very loud. Loud enough that when its running it is best to put it as far away as possible while it is running because it will drowned out the sound of anything you might be doing be it TV, radio, your favorite audio book, etc. As has been stated normal volume just won't cut it when one of those embossers are running.
I remember a day when I was in college I had to prepare a speech for my communications class, and I set my embosser to brailing out my speech. Now, as has been stated those things are extraordinarily loud even under ordinary conditions. However, my dorm room happened to have no carpet on the floor, block walls, so things were going to echo like inside a cave in their. Add to the fact I was running a very loud obnoxious braille embosser it sounded like ten of those going at once in that room. The people living next door to me got pretty peeved at the noise so cranked their stereo up full blast. A few minutes later the guys in the other dorm next to mine turned their stereo up full blast and the sound was so earsplitting I decided to walk out and go eat lunch and when I came back the entire dorm floor was empty. Apparently everyone decided to go on holiday while my braille embosser was doing its brailing because two stereos were not quite enough to mask the sound of it embossing. LOL. Cheers!
