How quiet does this treadmill run? How quiet is the motor and deck?

You will have no issues with noise with this unit. It is a very quite motor and especially at the speed of 1.5 you will barely hear anything

Relatively quiet. It's my first treadmill, so I don't have a great comparison. However, I plug in my iPad and watch videos while I walk and don't have any problems hearing the dialog.

The treadmill is very quiet, but the beeps are loud and there isn't a built-in method to turn them down\off. It beeps when you start\stop\adjust speed\reset it, but not during normal operation. I've read that some folks take the back of the control unit off and use glue to seal up the speaker. I've not needed to do that, even when using it in an open office setting, but might be an option if you're annoying your neighbor.

We are using under an elliptical machine on top of carpet. It's quiet but I don't know how it compares to a treadmill

The motor is not quiet by any means. It's not too bad when idling but when you run the dough through to compress it, it is the loudest sound in the world. My neighbor runs a gear mfg company and said the motor would be quieter if larger.

It is fairly quiet, it also depends on the load, if you run at 90% of rated capacity it will be louder than running at 40%. I have ran the generator through the night and it was not bothersome at all.

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.

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.

The treadmill will go up to 4 miles an hour but we use it at 1.5 to 2 mph. This is a great unit - the desk is very stable and it is all very quiet.

quiet enough, but it is a FAN, if you can not expect total silence. The motor needs to turn:)

It should be ok. We run 4 decks in spurts and it does well. OUR only complaint is it is way to noisy

This model has whisper wheels so it's pretty quiet. I have no experience with the other model you're talking about, but I can say we've enjoyed this one, use it daily, and haven't had any complaints. We love that it's quiet.

The TF1000 Exerpeutic Treadmill is very quiet as long as you keep it regularly lubricated. We regularly put between 100 and 200 miles per month on our TF 1000, and lubricate it once a month as well. If it starts making noise, you've waited too long, and have probably caused some excess wear to the belt and motor.

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!!

Its pretty quiet. I run it at night on the lowest speed while sleeping. It's not silent, but probably the quietest fan I've owned. During the day, with more ambient noise, I hardly notice the fan is on, unless its blowing on me.

Many food processors are pretty loud but this one is fairly quiet. I love this machine because it's not so big or heavy and quiet
