Is it suitable for use on the second floor of a house, or would the weight and movement make too much noise and/or damage the floor?

It would be fine for a second floor. Does not weigh that much and does not make much noise when being used. I am 5'6" and weight 150. Although I have it on a rubber mat in the basement, I would not hesitate to have it on the second floor. You may want to put a carpet under it to reduce any slippage during use of the trampoline.

This is a heavy machine and somewhat awkward to move. Normally, it's very quiet but since I don't know how old or what shape your home is in, there's no way to know if it would damage anything. I don't think anyone could answer specifically.

We have ours in our second floor bedroom. I have read that if it gets noisy that the wheels can be lubricated. The most important thing that you can do is to purchase the floor mat to protect your floor (a must have for any exercise equipment). Have fun, you are going to love this machine and will be amazed that such a low-impact exercise routine can bring such incredible results!

Think of it this way, while it weighs 107 pounds, a twin size bed with mattress and box springs would probably weighs more and you probably wouldn't hesitate to put it on the second floor.

Mine is on the 2nd floor, in fact it is in an area that is open to the downstairs. No noise and no pounding like a treadmill. The only noise is from the TV that I watch while doing it. As for damage the floors, I do have carpet upstairs but I did purchase a mat for it to go on. Once in place it certainly doesn't move while you are doing the exercises.

Weight is definitely not an issue - less than 100 lbs. Gliding platform makes some noise but doesn't contact the floor even without stand, so should not be too loud for room below.

The top is solid and really heavy so it doesn't give off much noise. I don't think you'll have a problem. The legs are ridiculous so be prepared to secure them to the table with something in conjunction with the so called "clip" system it provides or your table will not be sturdy. With my tweaks I can say I love my table.

Will probably be fine. This one is quiet but if you are directly over the other bedroom they may hear some noise bit probably no more than you walking on the floors?

Well, if by "very active" you mean sex, then it's just fine but I wouldn't advise running around and bouncing up and down on the mattress :) I use mine with a 12" memory foam mattress and the only noises being made came from she and I during our "very active moments." So, I think it might really have more to do with how much noise you make, the type of mattress on the frame and what kind of surface it's on. I wouldn't suggest putting it directly on a hard wood flooring or any solid surface. You definitely want a rug or carpet between the legs and the floor.

That would depend on how long and at what speed you are using it. I have not used it for an extended period of time and have not been bothered by any vibration. I am a big guy with big hands and it has been fine. The noise can be a bother if you are in a confined space.

Well the wheels are made of hard plastic, so it is going to make some noise. I have tile floors and it isn't loud in my house so you should be ok if you don't go to fast, the slower you go the quieter it will be.

I think it would be fine to use in a apartment, the saw is really not that noisy.

Yes they make noise on floors in side the house. One time I walked on my hardwood floor is the reason I know. I don't think people should do that. It is not good for the floors. They're made for outside.

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.

On low you might be OK, depending on your level of tolerance for such noises. On high it's quite loud -- louder than I would want to be in the room with for long. It moves a ton of air and it's very well made, but on high a lot of air equals a lot of noise.

Yes. I think it would be noisy. We noticed that when we had it on our stairs that if it was bumped, even slightly, it made a pretty big rattle/thundery sound which was annoying. The product worked well for keeping our kids from slipping through or getting stuck in our stair banisters and we were glad to have it. But it was nice to get rid of it when our stairs were redone and we didn't need a banister guard anymore.

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.

no problem on a second floor of a residence..I would put some kind of rubber mat under it to help absorb any vibrations it may cause if the weight stack is dropped. As long as the equipment is used properly it won't cause damage..as far as it crashing through your ceiling and landing in the family room...I don't see it happening.

I'm sorry, I don't really know, I use mine the garage but not for anything that is vibrating or moving. I would imagine as long as it has a solid base attachment it would be ok, but not sure.

I can't say for sure, but I would not think this would make a lot of noise to folks below you. The machine itself is very quiet, so it would just be the sound of the foot-falls that could be of concern. I'm assuming you are within the weight limit recommended for this machine so, with that in mind, I think the noise would be minimal, especially if the machine will be on carpeting or a mat.

It's fine to use on carpet, we have it in the basement on top of a thin carpet, it's nice for the price! My husband weighs 235 and it works well for him.

It's no where near as loud or stompy as Insanity. Has the potential to be loud if you're clumsy or struggling through the movements a lot I guess. I did this workout barefooted or in socks (wasn't high impact). I think it would probably be fine for an apartment.
