How much noise does it make? Enough to cause problems living on an upper level in an apartment complex?

We have sand in the base and we have it in our basement on the concrete floor and it does made a bit of noise.

This bag must have sand or water in the base to keep it from moving across the floor when hit. I have 220 pounds of sand in mine and I still move it after hitting it for a while. I don't think this is something you would want on an upper level apartment. They have the big frames that hold a regular heavy bag that might work. Everlast Heavy Bag Stand

We can hear it in the kitchen with the den door closed..it's sort of a light pop, pop, pop sound...it would depend on how you hit it if it would be a problem

It depends on what you are doing with it and the surface it is on, but it would be noisy it you are knocking it over.

It does make a lot if noise. I was living in a townhome and this was in the basement. My family in the second floor was able to hear the noise and my neighbors had problem too

This does make noise when hitting or kicking. Ours is in the basement & I hear my husband punching it. If he kicks it hard enough it actually teeters back & forth.

It is somewhat loud. The higher the setting, the louder. I use it in my garage and it works well.

My apt is about 1,000 sq ft and I can hear it clearly throughout. When placed in the bathroom I can't raise volume all the up because it so loud with the acoustics.

No I don't think it's overly loud. I use it alot and the hum doesn't bother me. In NYC I have more noise with the windows open. I am very happy with this model.

You will have no issues with noise with this unit. It is a very quite motor and especially at the speed of 1.5 you will barely hear anything

It's not bad. I have mine on a large area rug that's on a wood floor, and since it's not electric it's just the belt going around that you hear. Not sure how much you would hear on a lower level but I wouldn't think it would be very loud. I can't compare with an electric one since I've never had one.

Not quiet for sure but probably no noisier than other vacuum cleaners I've had other past 20 years. I definitely would not use it late at night or early morning so as not to disturb apartment neighbors.

Loud. The fan (only) is not bad, but when that compressor kicks in, it's noise. The unit is in a window about 7 to 8 feet from my bed.

if it's on LOW , yes....with MED and HIGH it makes more noise, but it's no louder than a small fan. You'll be ok.

In our house (2 story) just a little of th noise comes through to the first floor. However, condos have a bad reputation (true or not) for hardly any sound absorbing material between units, so I am sorry to say that it would be hard for m to give you a clear idea without knowing for sure what your place is like. Sorry if this does not help but it is the best I can do with my limited knowledge of your condo.

If there's a bedroom right above they're going to hear it. Regarding neighbors, if you're in a multi-unit townhouse our something similar they're going to hear it as well. If you're in a SFR it's no problem unless you're screaming like Bruce Lee. Regardless, my suggestion would be to add a good strong spring to your set-up to take stress off the wood beam/mount and to also reduce noise somewhat.

If you live on the first floor of the apt, then I would say yes. If people live under you, there may be a problem since, the shaker might create noise for your neighbors. I love mine. It is great.

The unit isn't super loud or super quiet. But you do hear when it is on. However I have slept with the unit just 2 feet away or less with no problem. The noise level shouldn't be a major concern. If it is than this type of air cleaner is not what you should be looking for to clean your air.

hi, I turned it up as much as could( I live in an apartment complex). I did not notice any disturbances. unfortunately I cannot tell what decibels it was.

It isnt extremely noisy but after a lot of use it starts to get louder. I wouldn't use it at the office because it gives off a whirling sound that some people find annoying. I like to use it at home when I'm watching tv where the only people around who I can bother are my roommates. Try it out though and see if anyone has a problem with it.

Not sure, I've only used it inside and it's incredibly loud. I personally wouldn't use it outside unless under a porch,etc.

Yes, it is really silent. I use it in an apartment building and my neighbors don't complain!
