Is this unit quiet? I'm still shopping and have noticed that some bikes' reviews list them as noisy while others are pretty much silent.

Don't know because mine is not noisy. Maybe you should call the owner/manufacturer and ask. He is very helpful and nice to do business with.

The refrigerator is no more noisy than comparable machines. You will hear the compressor when it cycles on, but I do not find it intrusive.

I think it is very quiet for how cold this unit gets. It gets more quiet when its on it's Econ Mode. I think all window air conditioners will have some level of noise but in my opinion this is one of the quietest ones I have ever owned. And once you stop listening to judge the level of noise it becomes bearly noticeable at all. This is a great quiet unit in my opinion.

It makes no noise at all--a very simple movement of the feet on bike pedals. I did find I needed to place it against a support (table leg) so it would remain stationary.

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 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).

I have only had the unit one night, but the fan noise does seem a little loud. Which is unfortunate because I kept reading how quiet it is and that is one of the main reasons I bought one. Not sure if it is just my unit, or if this is just how normally loud it is for others? Also, my fan ALWAYS seems to be running, even if I am not pushing it hard at all.

I would say it's definitely not quiet. And for me, has gotten louder after a season of use (I now have vibration noises).

My bike's pedals do not make any noise. Most of the exercise bikes' pedals have small metal rods under the pedals to keep them in upright position when you put your feet to exercise so my guess will be than one of the rods is loose inside or the noise could be coming from the bearing so you might try spraying some lubrication or you might end up buying new pedals. Good luckWilfredo

Mine doesn't make noise as I'm turning the gears, but if you hit the stops too hard, they'll make a "clunk." I'm not using this on a daily basis, but for the price, it is totally worth it. Works very smoothly in my opinion.

Check out Consumer Reports. They also said this is a great rerigerator except for the noise. The noise kept it from being the number one pick. BTW, we just got our new Samsung french door counter depth rerigerator. It is "Whisper" quiet. You have to actually listen to tell if it is running.

It is actually quite a bit noisier than those magnetic resistance ones. Notably, I've also used this one for several years:Confidence Fitness Space Saving X BikeThis one is noticeably quieter and also sturdier. If you don't need the fan I would say it is a better choice.

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.

I don't think it's loud. I live on the third floor of an apt and told the people below me to let me know if they can hear the rower. They said they couldn't the fan makes some noise, but not more than a tv set on a normal volume! Hope this helps!

No noise. Rides very well and no bumps providing you have the bike secured as designed. I love mine!

It is not silent but it is much less noisy then the unit it replaced. I can sleep with it near my nightstand so noise wasn't a factor for me. There are two noise levels, with the compressor on and when the fan is on alone. If you are very noise sensitive this may be an issue for you.

It's not quiet. I used a sound level meter to compare it to a couple other units and it's literally 10-20 times louder. The sound it makes is also particularly annoying.
