How quiet is it? How high is it from the floor when the pedal is at the highest? I am trying to use it under my desk for my knee rehab (post acl).

From the floor to the pedal at the highest point is 11". Unless you have very long legs it should work. I'm 5' 6" and put it under my desk at home and it was fine. You can always return it if it doesn't work for you. It is very quiet.

It is pretty quiet and is 11 inches from the floor when the pedal is at the highest.

I have trouble with this since I got it , the peddle comes off after 5 rotations I sent it back got it back and it still does it. I just donot use it any more.

It is quiet. When the pedal is at its highest it is 14 in off the floor. It would be great for your knee rehab but under your desk it would not work vary well.

It's very quiet. I don't think it can be used under a desk because your knees would strike the desk.

The base is 13" at its highest. The pedal is 11.5" at its highest rotation. It is very quiet and I am using it for a total knee rehab.

Not loud at all. Use it in the office, just don't let them catch you smiling!My wife has foot surgery and uses it every day. I love it because I don't need to do the foot rubs!This machine is the best thing out there for foot relief.V

It's pretty quiet. The most likely problems you would have in a cubicle would be the length of your legs plus the height of the desk. I can't use mine under my desk because my knees hit the desk - ow. So I have to put it against the wall opposite the desk. The other issue is that if you have a desk chair on casters, you will have to swap it out for on that doesn't move. I easily do both of these accommodations in order to be able to bike at work!

It is very quiet. I will not notice the kicking if I'm not standing in front of the unit.

It is fairly loud on high. I use it in a workout room and have to turn up the TV volume. However, I rarely use it on high since it pushes a lot of air. The sound level on medium and low is not unreasonable.

It is quiet - mine is on a rack and blends in with my other devices on the rack. I don't have the net gear switch so cannot compare it.

You can hear the air move around your feet when peddling... it's really that quiet. I keep mine in the dining room and watch TV from the other room. I make a deal with myself, no TV until I work out, so I put on my favorite show and an hour later I don't even realize I just worked up a sweat. I wouldn't trade this thing for any piece of equipment.

The answer ... very quiet. I have mine in my kitchen, where I spend a lot of my time. It sits very close to my stool, and I have NEVER heard the motor running. I'd say it's only 3 feet away, and I cannot hear it running. Hope you're satisfied with this answer.

I don't know if you've found a solution for yourself or not, but maybe this will help someone else in this situation... If you strap your feet into the pedals while the pedals are horizontal and parallel to the floor (with your legs perpendicular to the pedals and knees directly above your feet while sitting with the seat rested near the digital readout) instead of with the pedals at their resting position (at an angle), it seems to work infinitely better. I did this last night and was able to make it through the workout without my feet coming out of the pedals. Seems to have something to do with the feet secured flatter and with the weight on the heel rather than looser and more weight on the ball of the foot.

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.

This is a very quiet unit. It can be used in a situation like yours. If you want, you can put/add a small carpet uder it or one of those rubber exercise mats.

The step itself is not noisy. However, it depends on your workout how the sound will carry. Hope this helps!

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

First of all, I have a hearing problem - so please take that into consideration. I do not find this machine loud. Will someone coming into your office hear it? Yes. But will they have to talk louder to overcome it, absolutely not. To me, the sound it makes is similar to the someone using a paper shredder, but not nearly as loud. It won't disturb the people in the office next to you, if this is your concern. This machine will relax your feet and I find a 15 minute session gives great foot relief.

I find that the machine is pretty quiet as far as exercise equipment goes. My treadmill is much louder, and it's probably even quieter than my stationary bike.

Yes. It is very quiet. You won't even know you are on it except for the pain in your legs!! :-)
