How much of a reduction in noise or vibration have you noticed? Primary reason to get mat is to reduce sound in rest of house.

I purchased the mat to protect my hardwood floors. I haven't noticed any vibrations or noise as a result of my treadmill. That may be due to the fact that I have a brand new treadmill.

Works perfect. I actually bought 2 mats since I live on the 2nd floor of an apartment. Excellent mats.

I don't know, we also had carpet. We use it more for protection. We only used the treadmill after we got the cal mat. However, Our baby was sleeping in the next room. It didn't disturb her when we used the treadmill.

I have hardwood floors and I needed a good mat for my Pilates Reformer because my neighbors/family downstairs said they can hear me working out. The rubber mat is so thick and wide, I cut it in half and stacked it, my machine sits on top of the mats. It works because my neighbors don't hear me working out.

You can definitely hear it. It's not terribly loud. I put it on an anti slip pad and it cuts the vibrations.

I used this treadmill on a carpet with a treadmill map beneath it. The noise I mentioned in my review was quite loud in the house if I did not shut the door. Once I shut the door, the noise was not that bad. I am not sure if the downstairs will hear the vibration if the floor is wooden floor.

I have my drums in the basement of a 2 story traditional style home (i.e. the wife and kids are 2 floors away at night) and I can play my drums without waking them. I'd agree with G. Robert regarding the level of sound dampening.

I agree, yes to both. The mat is great! Every new cabinet install should come with one of these. Unfortunately, I didn't know these existed when I really needed it, but I'm sure it will prevent any future problems.

While I can't answer your question definitively, I can say that mine is on a low nap textured carpet and I'm glad I bought the mat. I don't think that it would be as solid without it.

It will definitely help to absorb sound and some vibrations. I cannot speak to all vibrations. I purchased these interlocking mats for similar reasons , i.e., not wanting to wake up my downstairs neighbor during my P90X3 workouts.

Is it suitable for use on the second floor of a house - Yeswould the weight and movement make too much noise and/or damage the floor? - not if you put it on a mat

Yes, it helps to keep the mat in place, I've had mine for awhile now and am very happy and satisfied with it.

I have only used it for sound deadening. It works good for getting the tinny rattles out of the vehicles. The next one I do I want to see if by stacking the dynamat on top of itself, if it would decrease the sound even more. very easy to use. I would buy the little rubber roller for installs.

The mat will not reduce the feedback you are experiencing. I suggest you call a professional any any quality audio store.to resolve your feedback issue.

You need a lil carpet or I used a piece of yoga matting. You can also adjust the level and velocity so you don't have to kick hard to achieve desired sound.

Sorry Timsrr, this will not silence a room. It may dampen the sound a little. Now I have tested how much Dynamat and Fatmat can dampen sound and vibration. Now Fatmat is the same as Dynamat but less in price. The thicker the mat, the more it will dampen sound but will not stop all sound. I used Dynamat in a S10 pickup that was getting a lot of road noise when driving. The road noise was about how two people would talk to each other. After the Dynamat. The road noise became a whisper, but still noticeable. Fatmat did the same thing as the Dynamat did. Now on the car audio side both work great for vibration and stopping panel noise.

The noise/vibration will probably be dependent on how stable the floor is. Mine is in the basement, and I have no noise or vibration. If the floor is not very stable you will probably experience some noise but not much vibration since this is a very heavy piece of equipment.

For me yes. I live in an apartment building and it helps drown out the sound from the people living above us. I've also found it helps me with anxiety. I put it on and I'm more easily able to do some meditation/mental imagery work that helps me fall asleep.

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.

Well, that's a little hard for me to answer. Our treadmill is already on a carpeted floor. I didn't seem to notice much difference in sound after. Ik got the mat to protect the carpet.
