use a quiet noisy oxygen concentrato...does this mat absorb "mechanical, vibrating" noises?....thanks!

I am using it as a static worksurface mat and it is very dense and durable. If your machine has pad feet and I'm no engineer, but if you put down a sheet of material( phenolic, plywood or metal) to increase the surface area of your machine it would vertually last forever and would absorb a large amount of your vibration problem. I think it would work great!

This is an excellent treadmill and I guess it will absorb motion/sound better than cheap ones, but I suspect it will depend more on your building than on the treadmill. I know you can buy mats to put under them but I have horses and would suggest that you look into what is called a stall mat used for horses. They are much thicker and heavier than mats sold for treadmills and would probably cushion most of the noise. You could try the treadmill and if it is too noisy, then get a really good mat.

Not so fast people. *Most* of the time this unit is pretty quiet, only producing a very low steady hum. However, it *can* get annoyingly loud (3-4 times its normal volume) where it's sort of vibrating the plastic pieces of itself together. Topping off the water level sometimes helps a little, but most of the time it makes no difference. (It does the same thing right after a fresh cleaning too, so it's not an issue with debris.) When this happens, you can tap it / nudge it / smack it and the vibrating noise will cease - USUALLY. But sometimes it won't. There have been times where I wanted to smash it to bits with a hammer to make the noise stop. The only thing I've found that you can do to quiet it down is to completely open it up like you're cleaning it and pop the pump assembly loose and reseat it. It helps to barely press the pump down onto its suction cups, which is now what I do when I clean it. Before, I used to press the pump down firmly, which seemed logical but only increases the chance the unit will vibrate loudly. It seems like they ought to have put rubber seals between the plastic pieces where they meet or at least on the little studs the pump sits between or something, although I'm sure that would've increased the cost. Oh, I have the unit sitting on a thick, soft, rubber mat too. It's not sitting directly on a hard surface that would exacerbate any vibration noise.

I wouldnt so much say its a rattle as much as it sounds a bit like grindibg. Even with no weight or pressure against the unit. Initially it was annoying but ive found over time and getting used to it.......its almost like white noise. Its not so noticable when you are also using the vibrate feature.I did read severalreviews of this product on kultiple sites before purchasing. Every single review mentioned this noise. Some in a positive manner. Others not so much.It does what a much more expensive massage therapust does......for a LOT less money. I make the appointment.� I wouldnt so much say its a rattle as much as it sounds a bit like grindibg. Even with no weight or pressure against the unit.

Those are good questions! Although, while using this machine, I don't think you would really be on the machine long enough to carry a conversation or watch TV. If you were to do so, depending on the flooring you have, these things are possible. My machine is on a cement floor in my lower living area and it does not create enough noise to be a problem. I use my machine often and I am happy with the purchase.

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

I live in the basement, so I have no one under me. Its on carpet but the carpet in the a cement floor. The machine itselt isnt loud but not sure about the vibration it would make. Sorry cant help more. I do love the treadmill!!!!!!!

I found the fat mat to be odor free and exposure to areas that get fairly hot (near exhaust pipes) has not caused any problems. Fat Mat should work well for quieting your dishwasher, I think that I will do the same to mine!

I live on the Third floor Apt and yes it does reduce some of the noise from my jumping around on it. However, if you have hardwood floors like I do that squeak than position mat on less squeaky section of the floor and you should be okay.

It pretty much sounds like a treadmill with the exception of the sound of the hydraulics "bump,bump"ing with each step. My husband watches TV while I am on it and only turns the sound up one level. I did buy the rubber/plastic mat to go underneath it to help damper the vibration/movement on my wood floor.

I don't actually think that the screw-on mount will separate any vibration noise, but then again, this mic is not very sensitive to noise anyway, it's the opposite of a condenser! For the rest, see the other answer, good points, I use a standard stand however...

That would depend on how long and at what speed you are using it. I have not used it for an extended period of time and have not been bothered by any vibration. I am a big guy with big hands and it has been fine. The noise can be a bother if you are in a confined space.

Less noise than my other, cheaper brand that won't inflate a balloon. It does make some noise, but it is a smooth, constant pumping. The unit doesn't vibrate excessively or wobble around on the floor or anything. I think these small, portable units are all kind of loud while they are working.

Hi, I have used this product with no customer complaints.... However if you are experiencing noise, you can use an insulator of some sort such as ice and water shield. Every situation can be different but try the above. Hope this helps...

This mat is thinner (about 1/4 inch thick) and made from a very tough, denser material which seems to be a cross between plastic and rubber. It is not likely to rip and it would protect the floor beneath the equipment as long as there are no sharp contact points but it would not help with noise reduction. My treadmill took 4 people to move it and I have had the mat for 3 years and there is no sign of wear on it. There are other mats that are an inch or more thick and the rubberized material looks like it is injected with air, like the inside of a Three Musketeer Bar, and that type of mat may muffle noise.

Hello ,Thank youfor messaging us!The compression machine isn't loud at all, it has a motor to help compress for you. You just have to set up timer and pressure knob and your all set. Really easy to set up and works Great!Best RegardsErica

I have hardwood floors, too, and it did reduce noise and vibration quite a bit. That being said, I would have to think the thicker mat would be best for noise reduction.
