How noisey is this machine ? I live in an apartment and don't want to upset the locals.

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.

I use mine in my basement while I am working in the same room. It is not noisy in my opinion. I doubt anyone could hear it through a wall. Set it on a piece of short napped indoor/outdoor carpet or something.

Consider that you are polishing metal so its going to make some noise I can hear mine in the garage from about 30'. My sonic solution cleaner is very quite.

It's pretty quiet and will not bother neighbors, unless they live 5 or 6 feet away. There is a low noise but it is not bad at all.

It is not noisy. You can easily have in a bedroom and it will go unnoticed.

I have the Concept two. It's quiet. The noise from the machine is not an issue.

This little thing is pretty noisey. If you can isolate it you'll be fine, otherwise you'll want a larger one that works less. Good luck

I don't think it's noisy at all. The only noticeable sound I can recall of comes from the fan, still quite discrete.

We use it in an enclosed basement and it is certainly tolerable for the amount of time it is on. Rough comparison I would say it is about as loud as a vacuum cleaner or a noisy hair dryer.

It is a bit noisy. You will have to turn up a television or radio if your kitchen is near. Not sonic booms but does get a little annoying.

This is a question that might be very personal. I consider the sound loud, but certainly not annoying. The machine works very well, so you have to consider if another machine that is quieter will work as well. Hopefully this answered your question.

Though it could be because of how we assembled it (possible loose bolts on the neck), mine is a bit loud. Loud squeaking with each step. I don't think it's heard by my neighbors, but my apartments are pretty good on sound blocking (though if they do hear something, it's probably the TV, as I turn that up a little louder to hear it over the elliptical).

Not noisy at all, but ours is outdoors in a built in cabinet. In a house, I'm sure it would have a discernible hum, but not enough to call it noisy!

I cannot say for 100% certain. It seems reasonably quiet (certainly NOT silent), but I'm running it in a server room with a couple of servers that kick out major decibels, so I don't have an accurate sense of this machine's noise level. Sorry.

Initially the equipment was very smooth and quiet. It has developed a "knock" and I am unable to determine exactly the source. It is not loud and should not disturb adjacent apartments or one below.

The rower is pretty quiet. You (your butt is) are rolling back and forth on a bar and there is very little noise with this. Our rower is on carpet, so we have little if any vibrational noise transfer. I would suggest that you put a carpet or pad of some sort under it to eliminate the possibility of the rolling vibration noise through the floorboards. The 'wheel' is wind resistance, so there is a fairly noisy whooshing noise. But, this is air noise and should not transfer out of your apartment or room.

Is the area you're using it in large enough that you could move it to another room, or behind furniture? I don't notice the high-pitch noise so much but the growling motor is pretty loud to me, and so I use it in a central g room where it's not such a nuisance. The low setting volume is better but then it takes longer to dry the room(s). I hope you find a satisfactory solution!

I have mine in my office and I do not have any problems with it being noisy. Maybe the others don't have it balanced right, or the back is too close to the wall. But mine is very quiet. I hope this helps.

This machine started off quiet, but soon after started squeaking at the handles. I live in a house so no neighbors to bother but I still use a mat under it. The main noise for me are the handles that squeak at random. Not a really big deal for me. I still love it. Good luck!!
