How loud is this hoist when running. I want to use it in a play on stage to lift a 180-200 lbs vertically. It needs to be pretty quiet.

I would think it would be to loud for that. I would say it's about like a motor on a garage door opener.

I use mine in my garage as the source to lift up and down items out of the attic I stand right under it it is very quiet while running. In fact the pulleys i use are loader then hoist however stopping and starting there will be a sharp quick noise. If you put it in a padded box then you'd not know when it started or stop. Again it is very quiet.

It is not particularly loud, but it is not whisper quiet either. It is not loud in a shop environment, but it probably would be noticeable in a theater

It is a diaphragm pump, so they do vibrate when running. If it is mounted using the rubber mounts and isn't touching anything else, it should be pretty quiet.

unless you are going to lift less that 100 pounds, get something stronger than this. I lifted about 200lbs 9ft up and the pulley wheels on this thing disintegrated. 1/4inch eye bolt worked fine for this and the stronger block and tackle I used afterward.

weight would be probably 50-60 lbs* and not quiet at all. Maybe 8 on a 10, 10 being loudest. But to be honest, I have not ever used another elliptical so I am not sure in comparison if it is loud or not.* I can lift 48 lbs w/o a problem, this was more than that but no way was it 70-80 lbs.

I suppose it depends somewhat on the level of background noise and your hearing. We purchased one for use in the play "Little Shop of Horrors" as the flower shop door bell. It was loud enough to be heard in a 300 seat theater, over the noise from the audience, light dimmers, A/C, etc. The tone is perfect; just exactly what a shop bell should sound like. The bell is quite loud and the bracket is truly springy so any movement activates the bell. I would say to get one, have someone ring it at the gate while you listen, and if it doesn't work out, return it in new condition. It's very inexpensive for the great quality.

If it weighs under the 75lbs? I'm using my hoist to hang large ice chest to clear floor space. I'm hanging 3, 120 qt. I rigged a board with hooks so it would balance and raise evenly. It works well but I would suggest changing the rope to a better grade of nylon if your bike is heavy. The rope provided is fine but tends to friz on the outer edges when hoisting any weight.

It has a clicker for a safety. If you take the safety off it will be very quiet. However a rope pulley would be quieter.

My kids (5 and 4) will jump and hold onto the hand rail and actually lift the legs off the ground. I imagine if I were in a room below them it would be pretty noisy. If not for how they have learned to use it, I think it would be quiet enough for you.

It is pretty loud, but it moves a ton of air! I use it in my workout room and the noise is fine. If you plan on using it near a TV or while sleeping, it might be a little too loud.

Just using the stand with a bag is noisy. I put 25lb weights on each of the 3 pegs (2 front, 1 rear), and even with the additional 75lbs. it moves around a fair amount of I hit hard. I would think your downstairs neighbors would be more likely to hear the scraping it makes as it moves than it bouncing or anything of that nature. Although I live in a house, my house is close to my neighbor's. Out of courtesy, I do my workouts during "normal" hours (after 7 am, before 10 pm). That should lessen most complaints, I would think. I will add the the stand has seen almost daily use since I purchased it about 6 months ago and hasn't had a single problem. Just using the stand with a bag is noisy.

I am using this hoister to lift a heavy cage (easily 200lb) from a stock trailer. It works really well. I can thoroughly recommend it. Its also easy to install and flexible in terms of putting hoist points above the 4 lift corners.

It makes some sound. I added lithium grease to all moving parts when I put it together to help prevent any noise; But it still makes some noise like a creak creak creak as I pedal; But it's quiet. It's very easy to move around; About 35 to 40 pounds I am guessing; You could slide it really easy on carpet because of the hard plastic feet; You'd want to lift it if you had wood and/or tile floors.

Hi, I live in a one story home...but I do the tread climber at 4 am and no one in my house has complained about the noise. We put foam puzzle mats under it so that it would not damage the floor so this may be helping too. Note: we keep our house pretty cool about 63 degrees. It takes the shocks a few minutes to warm up so it is a little bit clunky at first. Also this thing has wheels but is extremely heavy once it is put together so moving it up and downstairs if you move will take two grown strong men. But this is not a bad thing because it feels sturdy when supporting the weight of my 300 lb husband, some machine we have had in the past feel flimsy.

Double Cable. I have mine doubled but I am only lifting about 400 pounds. Hoist handles it fine but I don't think I would try and push 800 pounds to test it.

It's not very loud at all, I was surprised how quiet/relaxing the pump is while running at a high speed. I wouldn't recommend running anything at full speed, there is no need for that if you have cats.

Yeah, its pretty quiet. Mine's especially quiet lately, I really should get on it again. :)But to answer your question, I don't think it would be an irritant to the people below.
