Is this machine quiet enough for an apartment? No one lives below me but I do have a family living in the apartment above, will the noise be heard?

I do not think that noise will be a problem for you Will. I have had my Concept 2 Model D for several months now. I could not be happier with this rower. The action is smooth and very reasonably quiet.

The rower is pretty quiet. You (your butt is) are rolling back and forth on a bar and there is very little noise with this. Our rower is on carpet, so we have little if any vibrational noise transfer. I would suggest that you put a carpet or pad of some sort under it to eliminate the possibility of the rolling vibration noise through the floorboards. The 'wheel' is wind resistance, so there is a fairly noisy whooshing noise. But, this is air noise and should not transfer out of your apartment or room.

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!

The simple answer, as is often the case, is - it depends. The machine makes a reasonable whooshing noise developed by the air resistance device. There is the mechanical whirring of the chain mechanism to but that is more subdued. I cannot really advise with any certainty but I doubt that the whooshing would be too distracting to others who are not in close proximity. As it is a medium pitch sound I suspect it will be absorbed more easily and therefore not be transmitted well through walls, floors and ceilings. Good luck.

It is very quiet, the sound comes from the actual wind, so you should be fine.

The people above you should not be bothered. I doubt anyone below you would be bothered much either, unless you row hard enough to bounce the machine or creak the floor.

It's no louder than any other vacuum I've had the pleasure of using, so I guess it would be a 3. I live in an apartment and fairly certain it doesn't disturb my neighbors

One other comment to add. I read where one person said it was loud. Mine is relatively quiet...much quieter than an up right.

I use this unit in my shop, so noise is not a factor, on the high mode you can hear the fan, maybe too loud for inside your home. Does an excellent job in my shop.

I think it is definitely quieter than other models. I have had 2 other machines and this one is decidedly quieter, not silent but more of a medium soft buzz.

I think so,but make sure to have a rubber mat under it,even if you have carpeting.It makes a whirring noise,but it isn't that loud in my opinion.Unfortunately,if you have sensitive neighbors almost any equipment might set them off,but this is pretty quiet compatered to a treadmill or elliptical

The unit itself does not make much noticeable noise. Ours is set up in our garage and is pretty much out of sight & out of mind. We have had no issues with the unit. No real instructions on how to set up when received though. Had to look up set up online on youtube.

It was quiet within a normal home environment. If you have special requirements, you'd better get input from someone who uses it with no background noise.

Initially the equipment was very smooth and quiet. It has developed a "knock" and I am unable to determine exactly the source. It is not loud and should not disturb adjacent apartments or one below.

Its pretty good, actually! Its not the MOST silent vacuum I've ever owned, but the power to noise ratio far surpasses previous vacuums. Usually with less noise comes a less powerful vacuum. And it has more of a low tone, so it's much less obnoxious. I definitely dont feel like Im disturbing my neighbors. Come to think of it, my roommate has told me, with his bedroom door closed, he can barely hear anything if Im vacuuming the living room.

We are using it in a salon atmosphere where blow dryers are going throughout the day, so I had not noticed if there was much "noise" coming from the unit. Also, we keep it in the back of the salon where it is coolest in the winter. It doesn't appear to be loud but yes, I can hear it blowing when I am close by. Being I'm not in a quiet environment I'm not sure this answer is going to be much help. Have a nice day.

It does make a sound but I don't find it too noisy. If you're in an apartment bldg it might cause a neighbor to ask what the noise is but I don't see it as so loud that people bang on the ceiling.

It's not noisy but not perfectly quiet. Just a low humming sound. I have used it in my bedroom and it did not keep my awake but some people are more sensitive to sounds than others.

Not quiet for sure but probably no noisier than other vacuum cleaners I've had other past 20 years. I definitely would not use it late at night or early morning so as not to disturb apartment neighbors.

This machine is super quiet! My husband was on it a couple days ago and I had no clue. I was in the next room and the door was open. I don't even need to raise the volume on the tv when I'm on it. As long as it's put together correctly (it's very easy), then the machine is silent.

No, this machine is whisper quiet. You'll be surprised at how little noise it makes.

We have not had trouble with noise. I am particular about this so I can tell you it is quiet! Our finished basement is approximately 1000 square feet. We can watch Tv, play games without really noticing the machine. Ours runs continuously. I do have to empty it more often than our last machine but maybe this one is just better at removing moisture? Our basement stays at a comfortable humidity level. (&lt;50%)
