I want to get a finch but I want to know if it is a loud bird?

No, not at all. It's kind of a high pitched little chattering, but it doesn't have much of a decible level, if that's what you are asking. It is rather constant, however.

Cats are too curious to trust around small birds and dogs will instinctively chase and kill a bird if they can catch one. I wouldn't recommend a finch, but if you kid is persistent with the bird idea, I would recommend getting a cockatiel or something with a hookbill. I keep a variety of finches, cockatiels, budgies, and parrotlets along with my three dogs who do try to catch the finches when they escape. They know better than to mess with the other ones because they bite back and it hurts them.

I went to finchworld .com and found some interesting info for you. Apparently they aren't loud birds. The article suggested buying a pair of them. They usually aren't very expensive compared to other birds. I don't think they are particularly long-lived either. Another good source of bird info is Bird talk magazine. I would try to find a local "bird mart". Bird talk usually has a listing by state toward the back of the mag.

No, finches aren't loud. I believe each finch has a "signature" song. No two finches sing alike.

Finches aren't very loud....but they ARE "talkative". You might want to get 2 by the way, just so the one doen't end up lonely. Actually... they're cute, the way they "peep" (that's what it sounds like when they 'talk' ) back n fourth. ; )

Not loud, just constant. they make a sort of mumbling sound all the time, unless you turn off the light. Most birds don't do well solo. They are social animals and enjoy interaction.

As said in previous answers, they are not loud but talkative. I agree that you should have at least a pair. You must also keep the cage very clean because their droppings have a strong ammonia smell.

finches are fairly quiet compared to other birds unless you have 60 zebra finches - then they get a bit noisier

I have a pet store and I would say they are not noisey like a parrot, but they do make "peeping" noises. However they are messy with the seeds!
