To clarify noise question--is the noise primarily from when the bag is knocked over/moved, not from regular punching/kicking?

If you live in an apartment I wouldnt recommend this bag. The noise will just piss off the neighbors

Yes, the noise is from the bag's base knocking on the concrete floor of our garage. My husband hits it so hard (he's a heavy-weight) that the bag's base bangs on the floor of our garage as it recoils, causing the noise. Not a problem for us since we're in a private house. I don't know if you can avoid bag noise with any other type, really. We had a 100# bag hanging from an iron beam in the ceiling of our basement in another house and every time he'd hit it it would sound like an earthquake was hitting the home. He just hit it that hard. When our son would hit it, it wouldn't cause the same impact, thus a lighter sound. So, if you're a heavy hitter, it's likely the bag will recoil and the base will bang against whatever surface it's sitting on.

The "thump" of your legging hitting the bag is what you should hear, but if the bag base isn't heavy enough and filled full it could lift off the friend a little and create a "second thump".... If your on the second floor or higher the people below could and probably will hear the bag both times ....

Right, and your plan for noise dampening sounds really good. Also, what they teach in Krav Maga is that it's not so much the weight of your punch that defeats your opponent (though, it certainly will knock them out on the first try) but it's the speed and accuracy with which you deliver your punch. So, yes, it would be beneficial to practice pulling back a bit on your intensity and focusing more on the speed and accuracy (and preserving your relationship with your neighbors) :) Best of luck to you.

Unfortunately, I think this is somewhat normal. I had one bike that was really loud, and only got louder as the faster I peddled. Sent the bike back and the new bike also makes noise from the belt and drive train. I think this is normal and is poor quality of this sunny bike model.

No. Unit is not a loud as some would suggest. If it is, it is damaged from shipping. I had a strap broken, which should have been a clue of being dropped. Needless to say it was dented and made a bit of noise. I took it apart and found the compressor mount was bumped against the frame. I corrected the problem. So far unit is doing what I wanted it to do.

Not really. There is no difference INSIDE the bag based on punching or kicking. However, the size of the bag will dictate if "punches only" is a better idea. If its smaller and lighter, then kicks aren't going to be great on it. Also, to practice low kicks, you need a long bag, like a Muay Thai or "banana" bag.

Hello, we (GrepRobbert Pet Supplies) have not had noise complaints with this item. It also is a popular product for us. Thank you for your inquiry.

Well, I've never even noticed the noise. So I'm thinking not loud at all! It's magnetic so maybe a "ping" sound. There's no added electronic sound effects.

My machine has developed the same noise. The old machine I had also had a rubbing noise at the flywheel. I have used this machine heavily for the last six months.It still runs fine. I use music to mask the noise. Its not noticable.

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!!

Yeah I think the only way you would get noise is if they are next to were the bag is or above. Mine is in the garage and the only noise we here is when you are impacting the bag and even that is muffled by the walls and insulation

It just sounds like air blowing inside of a container. There are series of holes around the sides and on the top that allow you to regulate the air flow, which effects how loud or soft the blowing sound is.

To be honest..I never noticed any sound... So therefore I think it's pretty quiet a bag. Overall really good quality.

Namely because when a grinder is used it is grinding &/or cutting and that very act is going to create a lot of noise (which is why I wear hearing protection). I have four grinders presently (all different manufactures) and have never thought that one was quieter or noisier than another.

It's super loud. My office building has a Nursing Mothers Room that has three chairs with curtains around them and I've been in there when it's full and my pump is by far the loudest one. I don't mind since we're in a separate room, but if you were planning on doing it in an area where there's no sealed doors or full walls, I'm guessing people will be able to hear it. ...I've tried burying the pump in the bottom of the bag and covering it with my coat and it's still loud...

I have a cart that I used for moving and use to move boxes around etc. I have never had this sound in mine but I would suggest contacting sparco themselves - also you probably have a warranty on it. If the sound comes from the wheels, it could be the bearings.

I don't notice any noise.You can see it flapping a little.I am very pleased with mine.It's easy to fold or remove if needed.I would buy another.

Hi. Mine is also new - used for the first time yesterday. It does NOT squeak or make a zipping sound. You should check it out. Good luck.

The sound of you hitting the bag will not change but the Everlast stand does keep the bag from swinging and possibly hitting something that might make noise. I use a bungie cord to anchor the bag to a floor bag filled with water to reduce the amount of movement of the bag. If your stand is moving around, you might need a mat to muffle the stands movement.
