OK, so I'm a little thrown back by the other reviews on this site about this toy in terms of how quiet it's listed as. You see, I found this to be a very powerful but extremely loud item. My partner fondly refers to it as the "jack hammer" but I think of it more as a motorcycle revving it's motor (when pulsing) type of sound. We actually got so self conscience using it we opted to go out and purchase something quieter.

The Pulsatron|Pulsatron with slim bullet, which is aptly named for all the pulsing and non-pulsing speeds, is a little number that puts out. The dial of settings is a bit jumbled and hard to remember because the sequence is a little odd (steady vibration skips to pulsing and back again depending on setting ) so in the heat of the moment I've found myself asking myself, did I like #3 or #5???? A great feature of the Pulsatron is it's on/off switch so you don't have to cycle through the settings when your done playing.

I had bought this toy particularly because, as you can see, it has a detachable bullet that unplugs from the mechanism that controls it. This is especially helpful since the place I bought it from you can buy just a replacement bullet (for less $) if you pull at the wiring too much while playing. For a while I couldn't figure out why I was burning through so many bullets and found that the wiring and quality of manufacturing is really important when choosing this type of piece.

I highly recommend the Pulsatron for it's versatile dial of settings and for it's power but it's not exactly discrete in terms of noise. Seriously folks, it's loud, our downstairs neighbor can vouch for that! For the uninhibited this is a wonderful choice.
