The fountain is well made and is the perfect size for the space I bought it for.  I purchased this fountain because there was a video that demonstrated the sound.  There were others I was considering but because I could not hear it, I did not consider them.  The range of sound on this fountain is in the medium range.  I am not disappointed with my purchase but am considering how to make it louder.  Overall, I would recommend it for the price and the ambience.
