Has anyone used it in an office? We have an open floor office and it gets really loud when more than one person is talking on the phone. Thank you!

We usually use ours in the bedroom but it would totally work in an office setting too. The fan is akin to a loud a/c unit which is commonly found in offices. I'm thinking it can help drown out some of the chatter from office mates. You don't even notice it after a while because it just becomes background noise. But in the beginning you or your office mates may notice it in the first few minutes.

Not bad, it depends on the environment though. It can easily drown out street traffic and daily use for like an office setting, with possibly the exception for maybe sirens, road construction, or if you're on a noisy subway or something. I usually just turn it up louder depending on the environment. I typically turn it up to about halfway on my iphone so it definitely has a lot of headroom if you want to drown out other noises.

I've asked a couple of people at work and they report the sound leakage is minimum at higher volume. We have separate cubes at my workplace and I've gotten no complaints. I've also had someone else wear them to hear it for myself and it's very quiet.

I do alot of conference calls as well and go to meetings; both on my desk phone with a headset or more often on my cell (iphone). I have no issue with noise and I walk at 1.8 to 2.0 mph. I do keep my phone on mute however until it's my turn to talk but this is often standard with conference calls & GoToMeetings even when not on a tread! :-) Hope that's helpful.

Sorry for the delay in responding. The speaker phone is wonderful. I use it frequently while working on the computer at the same time. Sound is fine and people do not complain about being on the speaker.

I think the sound leakage is generally quite low. It is worth noting however that the microphones will pick up any non-continuous noise in the room around you, so if you have others around you, everyone will hear them in a call.

How quiet is this treadmill? I want to use it in an open plan office I share with 3 other people.

It is very loud. Can't be used in a room where conversations take place. The fan runs continuously (which is unnecessary in my opinion) & the compressor kicks in when it needs to (& then it gets louder).

It may work very well in an office. It has a single very loud sound that does not stop until you turn it off.

Relatively. I use it in an outdoor office, so I'm not very sensitive to its sound, but I haven't noticed it being overly loud when it's running.

In my opinion it'd be a little loud for an office with people actively working in it. I can't hear the TV in my fairly small living room over it very well.

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...

Not my experience. I find the radio very loud, usually on 2/3 in the office and maintains its clarity as the volume is increased.

I have used it in a good sized meeting room and it worked well. We had. 6 people in the room and one on conference call. All were heard well and the change thence callee was able to fully participate. It worked well for us.

Really? Mine is LOUD. You really can't talk in an ajoining room when it is running. It is far louder than the dishwasher, washer and dryer.

Not loud but could be annoying in an office space. It spurts out hot water to a cup and could some people might consider it loud.

I think it is Loud. I close the door to my bedroom and leave it. It is hard to talk over unless you have a large room. I still like it however
