I'm interested in getting this to reduce noise while jumping (I'm in a 2nd floor apartment). Has anyone noticed a reduction in noise?

This mats main use is to cushion your drop on jumps while excercise but I do have a much larger mat made of same material under my treadmill in my bedroom and I also live on the 2nd floor of a 2 floor house and it does great with muffling the sound. I have never had a complaint from my downstairs neighbors on it.

I live on the Third floor Apt and yes it does reduce some of the noise from my jumping around on it. However, if you have hardwood floors like I do that squeak than position mat on less squeaky section of the floor and you should be okay.

OMG it does!!! I think it's worth the work out but it does get really annoying... at first it was just a noise as if you're pumping air and that one is easy to get used to. But recently it started making this cracking noise as if it's about to break and that one is super annoying!

I haven't noticed any noise at all. We have had this box spring for about 7 months and it works great!

Yes. I bought it because I live in a second floor apartment and didn't want to disturb my neighbor downstairs. It's really quiet.

I have no tnoticed any increase in noise level. So, if there is, it is minimal and not a nuisance.

Hello, we (GrepRobbert Pet Supplies) have not had noise complaints with this item. It also is a popular product for us. Thank you for your inquiry.

It reduces the noise somewhat. I only covered a door but I figure it you use it over a larger area you will have silence

No. Basically, you're experiencing the sucky part of apartment living. This is for sound absorption, not soundproofing. Soundproofing is typically done by installing mineral wool or other soundproofing materials in the walls, floors, and ceilings during construction of a unit. Acoustic foam only absorbs and displaces sound waves emanating in a room (e.g. they make an "echoey" room less "echoey"). Sound Proofing = stopping of sound waves, as in moving from room to room like your noisy neighbor. Sound Absorption = absorbs extra sound waves in a particular space. Trust me, there is nothing you can buy on the internet that will fix your noisy neighbor problem. A better solution would be to ask said neighbor to observe more respectable noise levels appropriate for apartment living.

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

I nor my son have noticed any significant noise. I guess if you were jumping on it, maybe, generally speaking it is not noisy. One warning: the legs do not lock into place. I didn't want the legs to lock (avoiding pinch fingers), but if it is dragged around, check to make sure the lags are back in the proper position before getting on it.

Its a great mat, But Im honestly not sure about the noise reducing. Im a personal trainer, and I use it outside at parks for people to drop the barbell on when we do things like deadlifts and cleans.

I think it could reduce the noise a lot. The other morning I was sleeping wearing these ear plugs, and I guess someone just accidentally triggered the fire alarm in the building. Usually, one can hardly stand the extreme harsh sound if he stays in the room, but that day my first reaction was the alarm was not in my building.

Interesting. We have yet to install ours. From the demo I have used and tested it was very quiet. You might have a defective one. I wouldn't have even thought about purchasing it if was noisy

The noise is not significant, and you'll get used to it the more you use it. The unit is most effective the more you use it.

As Mack replied, I'm sure this rubber mat help reduce the thumping noise from the trampoline feet hitting your floor (wood?), but won't totally reduce the noise level. Couldn't be worse, only better.

It does make a lot if noise. I was living in a townhome and this was in the basement. My family in the second floor was able to hear the noise and my neighbors had problem too

Though it could be because of how we assembled it (possible loose bolts on the neck), mine is a bit loud. Loud squeaking with each step. I don't think it's heard by my neighbors, but my apartments are pretty good on sound blocking (though if they do hear something, it's probably the TV, as I turn that up a little louder to hear it over the elliptical).
