Its really not that loud. It makes some noise yes but i doubt they would hear it in the other room. You could also try turning the force feedback down to reduce the noise.

Turning is relatively quiet, compared to the driving force gt. If u use the manual shifter it's quite loud, shifting, but the wheel turning isn't that bad. It does make a bit of noise tho but you should be fine if the there are others in another room. My girl sleeps in the other room when I sometimes stay up l8 to play, but it doesn't bother her. I would recommend. Good luck!

Its very loud for racing games. People under you - that is. When I play in my bedroom at 6am-7am my mum under me complains that all she hears and it's very loud. However when she is on the same floor (next room) it's ok. Even racing games (aggressive driving) over Euro Truck Sim-like games, she never hears. It's well worth it though and the main noise is speakers-sound. :D

Well that would depend on "who's listening" I suppose. Some are annoyed at any noise, others would ignore the sounds. It is very quiet to my way of thinking...and you can only have it on for15 minutes at a time. Personally, I love it!

It is very loud but it alarms near the bed the person is in. We used it for my Dad who was not supposed to get out of bed but didn't understand it. What I did was put a baby monitor next to the alarm in the bedroom so I could hear it in another room and then would run in and try to get there before he actually got up. The alarm also tends to go off when the person is just turning over or sitting up in bed.... there are a lot of false alarms. It's not ideal but it's better than not having it. Hope this helps.

I know been a year since this was posted... I have a pesky squeak like rubbing sound from one of the pedals when in use. I think left side? If I go really fast it kinda lessens. But if I go a steady pace it sounds like a rub/squeaking. Did anyone figure this out? I noticed the comment stated to put some of the bottled lubricant on the track? Is that right thing to do? Thanks for any help!

I am deaf in one ear, so for me to say it isn't quiet, means it isn't quiet, certainly not whisper quiet as some have written,which infuriates me, because I bought it based on the "quiet" aspect. If it is on I have to turn up the TV volume. To me it is like white noise on steroids, especially on high.

Squeaks really really bother me. I cannot have a machine that squeaks especially repetitively or rhythmically. Users please comment and also about returns for this reason. Thanks

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!!

You need to push a button. My problem with it is that when you touch it on one of the buttons it beeps. It seems like every time I touch it it beeps if there is someone else in the bed or the room, it will disturb them. I am getting something else.

The machine is quiet, but if you're walking on it, people will probably hear you.. especially if you break into a jog.. You may be able to cut down on the noise by purchasing a treadmill pad. The more padding you have, the less noise. It all really depends on how heavy you are, how loud you walk. ^_^

I use my earphones in my room in the monastery. I ask people who enter my room. Can they hear my music and they say they cannot, but I can hear them coming in. I love them.

I never heard any complaints from people I'm talking with, so I'll have tosay "no". And I talk on these things walking, in bed, and scuba diving (thatlast one is a lie). I will double check with friends to see if they ever hearany noise like that. I will also test with them, and report back if they dohear any booming sounds.

I would say average. You cannot work out in the same room as someone sleeping but it is tolerable for someone watching television. The noise is proportional to the amount of resistance applied to the wheel and the speed at which you are pedaling.

I don't feel it's all that loud but if you are gaming and repeatedly mashing the mouse button hard and fast in a completely silent house I am sure that it could disrupt someone from sleep but I think most mice would do that. This has been my all time fave mouse I have bought 4 of them and been the most happy with both the shape and the way you can weight it to be the right feel for you.

Hello Jen, At first the clicking noise is semi loud but under the desk in a classroom setting I don't think anyone would really hear it. Plus once it is used a while it doesn't make the clicking noise. I would say the noise of the Klixx is the same level as a clock in your home

This is a question that might be very personal. I consider the sound loud, but certainly not annoying. The machine works very well, so you have to consider if another machine that is quieter will work as well. Hopefully this answered your question.

The noise doesn't bother me at all. Like sleeping in a bean bag chair. Once your head is comfortable, you are not moving around anyway, so there is no noise.

During normal non-gaming use, I barely know it is on. When I play a simple online game (Runescape) it really revs up and gets quite loud for me. Sometimes I would rather not play then to have the noise. But then again, I've been told my ears are quite sensitive.
