Is it quiet running?

It is very loud. When it failed about a year after we bought it the repairman told us many people believe the machine is broken when it is making a normal amount of noise. Many problems with this unit, which I chose because it was the lowest cost model at Lowe's.

It is not whisper quiet. You will know when it is running. I have it outside of the house and when I am indoor with all windows and doors closed, I can hear it. Nothing too crazy, but can be heard.

It's pretty quiet with the fan running. It's virtually silent with the fan turned off.

I find it quiet. It's not the CLICK CLICK of a loud mouse but a nice quiet "plunk plunk plunk" sound.

It's quiet, but I would not call it whisper quiet. Maybe "low talking" quiet.

Yes it is Quiet, but the motors bite into your body, they have no padding, I returned mine...

I have been very pleased with my purchase. There is no loud noise when running. Maybe you should exchange. That doesn't sound normal.

It's not very loud at all, I was surprised how quiet/relaxing the pump is while running at a high speed. I wouldn't recommend running anything at full speed, there is no need for that if you have cats.

Its pretty quiet. I run it at night on the lowest speed while sleeping. It's not silent, but probably the quietest fan I've owned. During the day, with more ambient noise, I hardly notice the fan is on, unless its blowing on me.

The treadmill is quiet, as advertised. Mine is outdoors about 10 feet from my neighbor's patio seating area. No complaints. It's been super helpful for my dog.

We run ours on low & it's in the far corner of the room, so in ours is very quiet. It depends on what speed you run it on & how far you are from it.

Not very. I was actually surprised by the lack if noise. I can carry on a conversation without raising my voice with the fan on max. You know its running, but it's quite tolerable. With a speed switch reducing the flow to less than max you have to listen for the fan.

Yes. It just sounds like whooshing air, which is a white noise sound to me so it doesn't bother me. It is by no means loud at all. Quiet is relative, but I'm my opinion, yes it is quiet. I hope that helps. Ps. I love this item regardless

You can hear it when it is on but it's not really noisy. I would call it fairly quiet.

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.

I find it very quiet when just running. But when I walk on it, it is noisier than I expected. There doesn't seem to be any padding under the rubber mat you walk on, so just the walking motion of your feet is fairly noisy. I've gotten used to it, but if you are sharing an office, the other person might find the noise level annoying.

It's pretty quiet... just the low hum of the motor. But at high speeds it does vibrate a bit... will slightly shake your cabinets. Also, no matter what they say, this thing is heavy. So forget about easily moving in and out from under your bed. Other than that.. everything works well and it's a nice compact treadmill.
