When it's embossing, it sounds like it's ripping heavy paper, and I
can't be on the phone in the same room with it, but it's OK if I go
into the living room. I don't have carpet in this house,either.

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!

it to
braille over existing stuff if you hit the keys quickly enough).
I'm not quite sure what embosser you've got, but if I start using
mine I'm
going to move the computer for it into a nice basement room all by
itself so
I can actually have a chance of hearing anything else in the house. For
those of you who haven't had the pleasure of listening to these things,
they're loud enough to completely drown out conversations, unless
you make
an effort (we're not talking screaming here, but you're never
getting away
with normal volume).
Finally, I'm not sure I'd be able to live with myself if I didn't
throw a
shout out to the stylus line! Nuff said - its two messages down if you
missed it.
p.s:
This is meant entirely as humor - no insult to anyone was intended.
