What about the noise level of the treadmill?

I find it very quiet when just running. But when I walk on it, it is noisier than I expected. There doesn't seem to be any padding under the rubber mat you walk on, so just the walking motion of your feet is fairly noisy. I've gotten used to it, but if you are sharing an office, the other person might find the noise level annoying.

Really quiet. My feet probably make more noise than the treadmill itself. People who come into my office and think I am just standing sometimes don't even realize that I am on a treadmill.

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.

The noise level is moderate and what would be expected for what the machine does. The noise has not been an issue for me.

The treadmill is quiet, as advertised. Mine is outdoors about 10 feet from my neighbor's patio seating area. No complaints. It's been super helpful for my dog.

We can't give you an exact decibel level, but the noise level is equivalent to a small table fan running on low, at least to us.

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.

Mine is on the 2nd floor, in fact it is in an area that is open to the downstairs. No noise and no pounding like a treadmill. The only noise is from the TV that I watch while doing it. As for damage the floors, I do have carpet upstairs but I did purchase a mat for it to go on. Once in place it certainly doesn't move while you are doing the exercises.

Yes, this treadmill is quiet. We have only had it for about a month, but it is eerily quiet.

I have been very pleased with my purchase. There is no loud noise when running. Maybe you should exchange. That doesn't sound normal.

No, the machine's noise is minimum and nice. You can check it out on YouTube.

It pretty much sounds like a treadmill with the exception of the sound of the hydraulics "bump,bump"ing with each step. My husband watches TV while I am on it and only turns the sound up one level. I did buy the rubber/plastic mat to go underneath it to help damper the vibration/movement on my wood floor.

I don't know the exact noise level, scientifically speaking, but I find it loud enough to be quite disruptive.The level of noise it makes is the main reason I am currently replacing it. I'm tired of yelling over this thing. Also, since it doesn't have an energy save mode, the fan stays on even when it's not cooling, so the loudness is constant.

We have it in a small laundry room, so noise is not a factor. I just checked it and it is very quiet. Hope this helps.

OK so I have this treadmill, when the belt is making noise it means that it is unbalanced on one side. In other words, one side of your treadmill is higher than the other (left side or right side.) To combat this, there are little feet on all four corners that you can mess with to change the level. What happens is that the belt just moves closer and closer to the lower side and then it rubs. So try to push the belt back into the middle and see which side it starts to move towards as you walk on it. Then increase the height of that side.

Cops will likely surround your treadmill and ask you to turn it down. The bass fine. I haven't noticed it interfering with my tunes.

When I'm using the treadmill, the only sounds that I hear is the conveyer belt moving. It's not a loud sound. I guess the best way to describe it is that it has a rubbing sound. I don't think it's loud. There are no thumping sounds, from what I can tell, but I'm on the machine. I don't know if anyone else hears anything. I don't. Overall, it's a very quiet machine. I hope this helps.

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.

I am unsure of the exact noise level. In comparison to the sound of the generators in my neighborhood during a blackout, I'd say that although it is loud, it sounds like all the others.
