It's well could be swing plate gear worn out which making the noises. This is kind of a known problem. Google it, and you are going to find plenty of informations. Following is the part I order to fix this problem. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005QEUL0E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours also not make that sound in one direction?

Adding my situation, had the dreaded squeaking on the left pedal, confirmed it was the rubber wheel against the rail bar. Tried all the solutions, loosening the arm nut, lubrication, but nothing worked. The noise got worse, and now the right side is making noises too. Drives me furious and kills my mood during exercise.

if you have been lubricating it, it shouldnt make the sound. You can lubricate it even now. While doing so, you can celar the squeaking sound by adjusting the treadmill speed using the screws provided. It should be available near the leg of your tread mill at the very end. Have you ever tried that?

I don't remember it being loud, just a little motorized noise. You should return it and have it replaced if it's loud! Good luck!:)

sounds like grinding dust has entered the switch assembly. I would suggest replacing the switch.

Could be the cogs inside the drive wheel are wore out... It would make a loud clicking/grinding noise. No unusual sounds.. Could be the activator lever is not connected properly

Sounds like there is an issue or a snail stuck inside.. :P No impeller rattle on mine can be heard. Good luck!

I also used a foam pad to reduce the noise. Which did work for me. Maybe try a different pad

I am no expert, but here is what I would do. Check the two upper body legs, the ones that fasten to the axle under the meter. and make sure the right one is on the right side and the left one is on the left side. If that is OK, disconnect the two lower horizontal bars (71) from the peddles (75) and then work them back and forth, one at a time by hand. Hopefully something should squeak. Once again, make sure the left one is on the left, and the right one on the right. Try flipping the brackets around on the peddles and see if they squeak. Turn the peddle unit over like a bicycle wheel and make sure it is not an internal squeak inside the housing. If so, contact the manufacturer. Still nothing? Refasten one side back to the peddle and try to make it work under pressure. Try the other side. Squeak has got to be somewhere. If you find where it squeaks make sure all washers and parts are where they supposed to be. First though, try making sure all parts are tight. A loose part on the frame or peddle bolts could cause the squeak. Make sure the seat is tight. Good Luck......

I encountered the same problem. If it were not for the odor and the noise of the brake pads when ridden hard, I would really like this bike. I was hoping that I could find a set of replacement brakes/pads -- perhaps by a different manufucturer. Please post if you find a solution.

I noticed that mine does that as well, it also has a funny sound from the wheels when it rolls. I wonder if that zipping sound is the bristles of the brush rubbing against the plastic housing.

Yes, very noisy I had to tighten all bolts the pulley was loose and belt slipping. After aligning belt and tighten pulley and bolts got foam tape used the whole roll on all metal. Now the only noise is the air being pulled through it. Its runs from April-June and Sept-Nov and had no problems mechanical.

It can be quite noisy even with TV or music on, but good news...I found a way to suppressed it, simply by using some sort of lubricant over the pad and eh voila, problem disappeared...I personally use ' RUSTCURE' by FORMULA 3000..you can use something similar to that...good luck

We've used ours about the same and no unusual noise. Squealing sounds like a belt problem like a fan belt on a car.

I have no idea since mine doesn't squeak. There's a humming sound when it goes on but that's the fan. Is it the fan that's making that noise? sorry I can't be of more help.

Found the problem with mine. Either the top of the motor or the belt were making occasional contact with the belt cap retainer. I greased the inside or the belt cap retainer and the noise is gone.
