Hi - I live on the 3rd floor of a pre-war building (i.e. not much soundproofing) -- is this machine noisy to use (with and/or without the rebounder)?

I think someone would be able to hear the rowing motion. It's not noisy, but I can hear the rowing sound when I am downstairs.

It's not noisy but it is bulky and quite heavy. It is difficult to move (the wheels don't help too much).

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 used this treadmill on a carpet with a treadmill map beneath it. The noise I mentioned in my review was quite loud in the house if I did not shut the door. Once I shut the door, the noise was not that bad. I am not sure if the downstairs will hear the vibration if the floor is wooden floor.

Personally, I don't find it to be too noisy. It's considerably less noisy than my compressor. It's just like a whirring/windy sound from a couple of fans spinning. But you might check with the manufacturer for the decibel rating for a less subjective appraisal.

I don't think it's particularly loud but you might. It's located in our basement. I can hear it when it runs but it's not like it disturbs us or we can't talk over it if u know what I mean. Let me put it this way: the washing machine is way louder. I expect it to get a work out this week with all the snow melt. Glad to have it. Worked like a champ last spring. Good luck.

It is quieter than my last treadmill (when I don't have my iPod plugged in to use the built in speakers and play my music loud). We have the treadmill in a bedroom which is near two other bedrooms and shut the door and it doesn't bother anyone. I will say we are a family that sleeps with fans running so maybe that is an added buffer to the treadmill sound. I do not think it is noisy. The only issue is a bad design where the cover is located at your feet - you step on it occassionally. We fixed this problem by adding a 1-1/4" wood dowelling that fits into the handles perfectly and hold onto the dowel instead of the built-in handle bars. I can send you a pic if interested if you give an email address.

Can do very much about the sound or vibration but mine got more quiet when I but rubber gasket between the unit and the wall. Also I put a 50 pound sack of sand on top. This also help with the action.

I had no problem with noise from the unit. Even slept with it in a small bedroom and was surprised I didn't notice it after a short while. It is rated for 800 square ft. which meant I had to move it around until the problem resolved, but that was my fault for not paying attention to the details. Otherwise very pleased with the product. Hope this helps.

We are using it in a salon atmosphere where blow dryers are going throughout the day, so I had not noticed if there was much "noise" coming from the unit. Also, we keep it in the back of the salon where it is coolest in the winter. It doesn't appear to be loud but yes, I can hear it blowing when I am close by. Being I'm not in a quiet environment I'm not sure this answer is going to be much help. Have a nice day.

Its not too noisy at all. I was living on the second floor in my building. No complaints from the neighbors.

I use it in a "bonus room" over the garage in my house. It makes about as much noise as a window air conditioner. The unit sits in the room so you hear the compressor and fans. It is quiet enough that my grans kids (6 and 8 years old) do not complain.

I can honestly say that this gym makes no noise. It just sits there in the basement as the inanimate object it is. Other than that, I agree with the previous user comments.

Ours is not even in the house; it is about 1000 feet downhill; however, when it kicks on, it is fairly quiet. I think if it were in our basement or somewhere in our house, it would be difficult to hear. I certainly would not call it noisy....my old one was, however. This one is nearly silent in comparison.

We have ours in our second floor bedroom. I have read that if it gets noisy that the wheels can be lubricated. The most important thing that you can do is to purchase the floor mat to protect your floor (a must have for any exercise equipment). Have fun, you are going to love this machine and will be amazed that such a low-impact exercise routine can bring such incredible results!

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.

Our rebound air does make a lot of noise when the kids jump on it. It's not super loud or annoying, but it's definitely not silent.

I have bought two of them and have had no problems with noise. I bought one for upstairs and one for downstairs. Only problem has been that some of the plastic latches seem to break easily.
