Does the bag cause too much sound while rolling? I travel for work extensively and need one that doesn't make too much sound.

To be honest..I never noticed any sound... So therefore I think it's pretty quiet a bag. Overall really good quality.

It's like listening to virgins awake in the heavens. Buy it and taste the divine.

I have had mine for 2 years. No it is very quite as I use mine all the time for work

The wheels are very quiet. The wheels are large and are coated so they roll bery smoothly.

It pretty much sounds like you are rolling a storage cart. Not very loud, and it doesn't take long to adjust.

It's not silent like a fine tuned set of roller blades, but I found it just mixed in with the other cycling sounds. When listening to music, I don't really hear it at all.

Yes, I find mine a little noisy too, but I thinks it's a great piece of equipment for the price !

It does make a grinding type sound and increases when ad more tension but it is not extremely loud. I watched a movie on my kindle while biking the other day and the sound was not loud enough to interfere with my viewing pleasure. I have not adjusted anything but did feel the need to. Your trainer could be defective. I hope this helps and you can get you issue solved.

I've found the fan noise to be similar to other ultrabook-style laptops if I'm using it intensively. It's not excessively loud, but it is noticeable, especially if you're sensitive to higher frequency noises.

It's super loud. My office building has a Nursing Mothers Room that has three chairs with curtains around them and I've been in there when it's full and my pump is by far the loudest one. I don't mind since we're in a separate room, but if you were planning on doing it in an area where there's no sealed doors or full walls, I'm guessing people will be able to hear it. ...I've tried burying the pump in the bottom of the bag and covering it with my coat and it's still loud...

I'm with you Michele. There are two different sounds: the normal ratcheting the other commenters mention, and the "oh dear, I really think I just broke it" sound, which is accompanied by me having to push much harder than normal down on the lid. I've found this second sound occurs when the bag is somewhat full, and is a result of the closing mechanism being unable to twist the bag. I think it's a serious design flaw...we live in an apartment, and the people below us can hear the pail closing when it makes that second sound. Not great at 2am!

My son set this up in our garage. It's very stable, but when he worked the bag he makes considerable noise. It doesn't come from the frame. It comes from striking the bag and the many noises he insists on making while punching. I did not notice it rocking, which is what I suspect is some of your concern, but you will have to put a counter balace on the leg extensions once the bag is in place

Well the wheels are made of hard plastic, so it is going to make some noise. I have tile floors and it isn't loud in my house so you should be ok if you don't go to fast, the slower you go the quieter it will be.

It is certainly NOT quiet. Great and heavy duty, but not ultra quiet. Sorry! :)

My back and shoulders were the reason I went looking for a rolling bag. My laptop stays secure in the laptop compartment. The only complaint is that when it's in the bag, there's not room for much else. Otherwise I love the bag (and my shoulders and back do too).

Just got mine and it's definitely not quite and it makes even more noise when it turns (and to me that's really unacceptable in the manufacturing). I was going to use it in my office, but will try it in my bedroom instead, since white noise in there won't bother me.

You should know that a lot of the noise comes from the tire tread on the roller. If you have a mountain bike tire, it will be really loud. Get a cheap smooth tire to quiet it down.

I use the fan literally on my desk, and it is quiet enough so that I'm not aware of it when I'm working (other than the breeze :-). Now that I'm listening for it, it does produce a soft "whooshing" noise. It's hard to hear if you're more than 5 feet away from it. I hope this helps you.

The noise doesn't bother me at all. Like sleeping in a bean bag chair. Once your head is comfortable, you are not moving around anyway, so there is no noise.

The dolly does not make any noise. It has sealed bearings and rubber wheels. The only way I could see it making noise would be because of the surface it rolled on. But rolling on a rough surface defeats the purpose. I have used mine with great success and had no issue with the soundtrack.
