Is the treadmill noisy and/or does it beep? I have my own office but my neighbor is often in and the walls are thin.

It's quite quiet, no problem for next door cubicles, the loudest sound is your feet. The beeps are pretty loud, but only occur when you start and when you change the speed. It does not beep when set up and running.

The treadmill only beeps when you push a button, however this can be disabled be entering the "Engineering Mode" by pushing Stop + the Up arrow for three seconds. Cycle through to F015 and change to Off and you should be good to go. It's quiet enough that when I'm on the phone or a conference call using a USB microphone that no one can tell. If it's a video conference, people can and do see my head moving from walking, but that's about it.

The deck and motor are very quiet, but there is an audible beep when you interact with the console, or if it shuts itself down due to a timeout (if you get off, etc.). I haven't investigated to see if there's a way to adjust the beep volume or silence it.

The treadmill is very quiet, but the beeps are loud and there isn't a built-in method to turn them down\off. It beeps when you start\stop\adjust speed\reset it, but not during normal operation. I've read that some folks take the back of the control unit off and use glue to seal up the speaker. I've not needed to do that, even when using it in an open office setting, but might be an option if you're annoying your neighbor.

I have been using the treadmill for about 6 months. It's not noisy and only beeps 3 times when you press start and stop as others state increasing your speed does beep. I have a co-worker in the same office about 8-10 feet away and they can't hear it. as you increase your speed the belt will get louder. I am walking at 2 miles per hour with no issues.

Oops. Sorry. I thought you were asking about a different model. This is a good treadmill. I walk on it at 4 mph and there is no rattle or anything so I don't see you having a problem running on it.

Mine is noisy, but kind of a white noise. If I had it in the bedroom, it would not bother me, but I like that type of noise to be able to cover for other random noises from outside. It is most definitely NOT a quiet unit, though.

Running on any treadmill is noisy, mostly due to the pounding of the person's weight while running on any body's ceiling. That treadmill it self is very quiet. But remember, is manual, is harder to run on it than an electric one, and the inclination cant be changed, but the resistance can. I think if you don't need to run particularly, is of great assistance to sweat lots by walking fast on it. I hope I answered your question.

It is not bad, I use it in our garage which is under our house and when I leave the garage and go into the basement I close the door and I don't hear it in the laundry room. I have it on a Formica toped bench, it doesn't walk. Seems to get a little louder the longer it runs so if you only run it for an hour or so, should be Ok. Depends a lot on your neighbors though, it's been 25 years since I lived in an apartment, but I do remember some neighbors could be a problem over anything.

The beep is loud enough to be heard in the next room, but I wouldn't consider it excessive - and I am very noise-averse. (I should have thought to ask that question before I bought it!) I don't use it for anything that produces a reminder beep; I'm not even sure it HAS a reminder beep.

It is loud but not so you can hear it on a different floor. If it was that loud I would not want it. When I go to an area that is far away I TAKE IT WITH ME TO THAT AREA. The unit is light so there is no problem. It beeps for about 30 seconds before it shuts off.

I have my unit downstairs. I can hear mine upstairs in my office with the door shut. Plenty loud for me.

It would likely be noticed in an office unless you're far away with the door closed. It's not whisper quiet... I do not consider it too loud, but I use it at home where it's not a bother.

We have ours on the second floor of our house you can hear it running when your downstairs but it's not too bad it's quieter than the other treadmill that we have. We did put a very thick mat under it the ones that get-together sort of like a puzzle

I purchased the mat to protect my hardwood floors. I haven't noticed any vibrations or noise as a result of my treadmill. That may be due to the fact that I have a brand new treadmill.

I did until it began making so much noise. I am a therapist and do not want the background noise. Now I run it at night when no one is in the office.

It's pretty loud. I have thin walls and I always have my tv or radio on when my roommate is home. She has never said anything about the sound, but I still like to be careful.

A constant low hum. I tune it out almost immediately. I've never had any office neighbors comment or complain on the noise. It's probably slightly louder than the occasional grinding noise my water heater/cooler makes.

Relatively. I use it in an outdoor office, so I'm not very sensitive to its sound, but I haven't noticed it being overly loud when it's running.

Well, other members of my household have informed me that it sounds like a ceiling fan to individuals in neighboring rooms. I have a home with thin walls, and I was told that my treadmill is actually louder than the Kurt, hope this helps.

Our treadmill is upstairs in our condo. While the room is carpeted I think the mat does help reduce the noise.
