not too bad - but then i suppose it all depends on the definition of loud - i've not got anything to compare it against really.

One of the more quieter things on mine!
I seem to recall the LCR was pretty quiet. At least you'll know its locked with the octy though.

ahh.. one thing to perhaps note here - the LCR and most LC's do not have physical door pins, therefore there will be less noise due to fewer moving parts.

Mine is louder than brendys etc as I still have these moving parts present (until i fathom out how/where to get the blanking caps!)

oh, you cant switch it on then :( you could just hold down the lock switch in the megane coupe and it would arm/disarm

My LC is louder than the pneumatic system on my mk2 golf. On the inside that just went pu-pu-put. Outside it was silent.

On my MY00/01 it's loud. I can hear it from about 2-3meters outside the car when I close it. Tha't why I haven't activated the autolock/unlock.

On my father's MY03 Octavia it's a lot more quiet. You can barely hear it from inside. On the Leon it's a lound "clonck"
