Are the wheels loud? Have the camera's picked up audio of the wheels squeaking/rolling?

When on hard floor, yes. On carpet audio is not an issue. For the best use, you would need a tarp specifically for that. I think the BEST use for his tripod is merely transporting the tripod and not so much for rolling shots

The wheels are very smooth rubber and have ball bearings. I have not yet noticed any audible sound from them after several uses. However, I am usually shooting events, so any wheel noise would be inaudible anyway, but rolling it around I can't hear anything in a quiet room.

I noticed that mine does that as well, it also has a funny sound from the wheels when it rolls. I wonder if that zipping sound is the bristles of the brush rubbing against the plastic housing.

It does have a plastic housing so there may be some cracking noises but to tell you the true, it wasn't enough that I was upset about it. This is one of the quietest bikes I have ever had! I love it.

Amazing. I feel that the wheels are what squeek. I proved that by grabbing the wheels and sliding them against their typical path. I can tell that the path is not straight back and fourth on the tracks too. I suspect that the loosening of the handles will 'free up' the tension so they run smoothly. It drives me bonkers.

Mine doesn't make noise as I'm turning the gears, but if you hit the stops too hard, they'll make a "clunk." I'm not using this on a daily basis, but for the price, it is totally worth it. Works very smoothly in my opinion.

Yes, the wheel is magnetic and not a fan, so the noise is low. I row while watching TV without any problems.

Squeaks really really bother me. I cannot have a machine that squeaks especially repetitively or rhythmically. Users please comment and also about returns for this reason. Thanks

I don't remember it being loud, just a little motorized noise. You should return it and have it replaced if it's loud! Good luck!:)

no - its very quiet but ours literally came apart in a month - we still use it but the plastic screw that holds the back wheels on broke so that whole side falls off and there is no fix for it!

I would say it's definitely not quiet. And for me, has gotten louder after a season of use (I now have vibration noises).

Yes, I do. At first I thought it was just a pesky piece of styrofoam stuck in one of the wheels, but after removing that it still squeaks. Only when I'm making forward strides though, not backwards. I haven't yet determined the cause or solution.

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.

I've had mine up pretty loud. You used the sound "wheel" on the speakers themselves?

I bought this for my grandson for Christmas so I was around to watch him ride for just that one day. That said, I can't recall any noise. I'll be with him again in a week and will be able to observe more and ask his parents about it. As far as my experience goes though, it was not noisy. Hope this helps.

No, they are not loud but they do have a little humming sound. It is much less than I expected for a tire with this tread pattern. I love them for the amount of money paid they are great on my 83 Toyota 4x4.

There really is no noise to the toy. The only thing you hear is the parts revolving. For example, there is a clicking sound as the baby turns the wheel; the pieces inside the wheel turn and you can sort of hear the sound of plastic turning, but not at all loud enough to hear beyond you and the baby. There is no music or noises that accompany the turning. Pretty quiet!

It is not noisy. It is even quieter when you have a big load in it. Even though it is made of heavy duty plastic, you should refrain from overloading it so you do not break the tires. It is very handy and multipurpose cart.
