is it good for noise reduction also ? I live in 5th floor with wooden flooring? Has anyone use in such environment ?

Worked pretty good to absorb noise running on a treadmill in a 2nd floor apt. Hope this helps.

My son uses this mat under his treadmill to reduce noise since he's on the top floor with hardwood floors.

(I have used this for years and I love it.) RE: noise factor, it seems like it could be loud enough on the higher 2 settings. Frankly, I haven't asked my neighbors!!

A couple of light coats reduces a bit of noise but not by much. Use it also in the wheel wells. Use of extra carpeting inside and the trunk area probably does as much. Be careful of GAS Pedal interference on drivers side of cabin if beefing up carpet around drivers area.

It's not bad. I have mine on a large area rug that's on a wood floor, and since it's not electric it's just the belt going around that you hear. Not sure how much you would hear on a lower level but I wouldn't think it would be very loud. I can't compare with an electric one since I've never had one.

it will definitely muffle and reduce the transmission of sound, but not completely. also it's not really meant for that purpose, it's primarily meant to go inside the walls

I would say noise reduction is pretty good with these. I tried different kinds and these are significantly better than average, I would say.

It is not too noisy. On the other hand I used it in a kitchen where the noise level is higher then in an office. Good luck.

You can move the Sound Slider to the "closed" position to block outside noise. Doing this will effectively reduce most outside noise.

My understanding of Noise Reduction is for the MIC. It reduces background noise that the Mic picks up.

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's not loud enough to block out yelling I'm sure. But it does reduce random noise-for example my apt is just next to the elevator on my floor and it drowns out the "ding" & muffled voices of people in the hallway.

The unit isn't super loud or super quiet. But you do hear when it is on. However I have slept with the unit just 2 feet away or less with no problem. The noise level shouldn't be a major concern. If it is than this type of air cleaner is not what you should be looking for to clean your air.

this saw is quiet but of course depending on type of wood speed of cut and thickness can increase or decrease chatter. it isnt loud enough to hurt anyones ears and the neighbors will never hear a sound. a hegner and an excalibur are a bit quieter but cost twice the price. if your not on a slab or you are in an apt. it will vibrate the floors and the neighbors or people in other areas of the house will notice. being on the 1st floor of an apt with a slab would still work.

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%)

I would not recommend this to reduce of noise...remember you need to keep your PC cool or you risk damage or possibly even fire.If you want to reduce noise look in to PC specific methods like better fans, fan controllers, acoustic foam, silicone fasteners, heat sinks, etc.

I think so its pretty loud. It's a clear full sound that carries over other noise. I use it in wood shop and it does great. I'm very happy with it. I'd buy again

If you can see a gap under your door (hardwood floors or very short carpet), I would expect this to help. I bought it just for sound reduction on hardwood floors, and am happy with it. It wouldn't help with people directly outside your door, but it could reduce reflected sounds that normally go under the gap between floor and door.
