Babies are almost always annoying ~ that's their job!
Laker is no where near as noisy - he sings & chirps but there are times when he is very quiet.

This spring he's come up with a particularly piercing call that can be heard all the way to the elevator [if the front door is open] - the sound carries over 60'! In Translation: It's his "Hi. I'm Laker, where are YOu?!" call.
He uses it on the balcony too - poor neighbours...
[ but then i have to put up with dogs barking & bad cooking smells so a noisy budgie shouldn't bother them.]
