A word of advice: How loud is too loud?
The Ministry advises caution when buying toys that make a noise for children under 18 months old. Loud or shrill sounds can damage children's hearing. Toys for children under 18 months should not be louder than 75 decibels. For children over 18 months, the sound from a toy should not exceed 85 decibels.
