Is the machine loud, will it bother someone in a room next to me? Like to work out early in the morning. Thanks

It won't bother someone in the next room if the doors are closed. Same room might be a problem.

You can hear the water swooshing when you row, but I don't think it would wake someone up in a room next door. I usually work out while others are sleeping, but it's in the basement (directly under the bedroom). Hope that helps a little...

No, the machine's noise is minimum and nice. You can check it out on YouTube.

It is very quiet. The sound of the water is relaxing and makes exercising all the more enjoyable. Of all my machines this is my favorite

Not loud at all. The only sound is the water that is swooshing around in the cylinder. I listen to the TV on low while rowing.

Yes, it is loud. I was warned by one the reviews before buying it, but bought it anyway. I am happy with the machine overall, but the noise has got the biggest downside.

Honestly, probably not. My main noise from treadmill is just from the movement of the belt, but the sound isn't a real issue with me. I turn on the TV and really don't hear any bad noises. Take care

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!!!!!!!

It isnt extremely noisy but after a lot of use it starts to get louder. I wouldn't use it at the office because it gives off a whirling sound that some people find annoying. I like to use it at home when I'm watching tv where the only people around who I can bother are my roommates. Try it out though and see if anyone has a problem with it.

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.

It's not super noisy but it's not whisper quiet either. I have mine in the living room, I don't know that it'd be good for running overnight in a bedroom. Also, I live in NYC and probably have a higher noise tolerance than people who live in rural or suburban areas.

I don't think it is very quiet, making a sort of chugging/humming sound. I'm noise sensitive, so it would bother me if someone was near me while they were using it. If you were in another room, I don't think it could be heard, however.

The motor is quiet when under 4.0 mph and gets louder as you go up, but with any treadmill, the noise will be from you running and stomping. That will be terrible for your neighbors below so my suggestion would be to pick up two 'Thick Interlocking Black Foam Tiles for Treadmill & Equipment' which amazon sells. The more padding and/or carpeting the better.

It's pretty loud. I wouldn't use it when anyone else is sleeping because it would wake them. It's not quite as loud as hair dryer but it's still pretty loud.

My shop is directly under our sun room. We live in the sun room. My unit is mounted to the ceiling joist in the shop which are the floor joist for the sun room. The unit cannot be heard in the sun room. In the shop where I generally work within 6 feet of it, I run it on low speed most of the time. Low is OK. I'll go to high speed when I am sanding. I find medium and high too loud when I don't have other noise making devices running. Keep in mind that I am a person that does not like loud music. I do not have music playing in the shop.

The machine has a fan type noise and a sound from the chain. I don't find them very loud. I watch T.V. and don't have to turn the volume up. Unless the other person is very bothered by any noise ,I would think the activities mentioned would not be a problem.

I do not think it is that loud. No more than any other. We make two loaves of French bread a week, it does work the machine, but mixes well and the bowl is big enough to keep the dough inside. I tried this machine for the price and I am pleased with it. I use it about every other day with something and I would purchase it again when I wear this one out.

We have ours on the second floor of our house you can hear it running when your downstairs but it's not too bad it's quieter than the other treadmill that we have. We did put a very thick mat under it the ones that get-together sort of like a puzzle

If you're trying not disturb anyone else that may be in the next room ain't gonna happen. It's a machine, it makes noise. Is it extreme? No. Would you be able to epilate and go un noticed? No. Slitely more noise than an electric face shaver but much less than a hair blow dryer. Does this help?

I also want it loud..I had a small cleaner that died last night......I did not sleep at all......Went to sears today and picked up this unit...I wish it was a little louder...But its ok....

The machine itself is quiet overall. I use it on the 2nd level of my home and the living room is directly below me so I use a mat underneath and it absorbs most of the noise. Ocassionally my kids say they hear it but don't when the TV is on loud enough. I'd suggest placing a treadmill mat underneath if you live in an older apartment. The machine has a small footprint so it can be used in a number of places but may need 2 people to move it around or get it upstairs so hopefully you have an elevator. Good Luck!
