Does this cane make noise when you walk, as most metal canes and crutches do?

It has a foot with 4 rubber pads, so I did not notice any noise when I used the cane. The joint between the upper and lower parts is tightened once the height is adjusted, so there is no clicking from that either. I needed the cane for about 3 months, and had no problems with it.

My Hugo cane is very solid and does not make a noise. I just wish it worked better on carpet. I'm forever forgetting to make sure it is solidly planted before I let go of it. Other than that I love my cane and have had many comment on itand ask where I got it.

It makes a little bit of noise. Nothing overly obnoxious, which is a great thing, as I work in an office environment.

No, not really. Now, if it is someone putting heavy pressure on the cane, I am sure you will,hear some level of a thud. We have mostly wood floors and sound has not been an issue.

No, it does not make a noise. My husband and I both own a Hugo and like them very much!

No it does not. I purchased another offset to put on another cane - I now have 2 canes. Very pleased.

I recently used it on a cruise and found it did not make the noise my other canes made, I think because there are magnets inside each section that hold it together securely in addition to the sections slipping inside one another. Actually not magnets inside but a strong elastic cord that keeps the parts held tight.

Hi Urbeautifl, I agree with Nancy it does have a clicking sound but it's not what I would consider loud. But you can hear it.

no, it makes a slight clicking noise - not as loud as some other push toys such as the 'popcorn popper' push toy.

It makes some sound. I added lithium grease to all moving parts when I put it together to help prevent any noise; But it still makes some noise like a creak creak creak as I pedal; But it's quiet. It's very easy to move around; About 35 to 40 pounds I am guessing; You could slide it really easy on carpet because of the hard plastic feet; You'd want to lift it if you had wood and/or tile floors.

If your asking if it's like the sound of a mechanical one no. Other than that it has the normal click noise... (Also depends on how hard you hit it)

Mine does make some noise when I move it from room to room, however I wouldn't say it is loud.

It does make some clicking sound but it's not that noticeable to me. If it is loud enough for you and it is bothersome you should really try to get a replacement as it may be defective and will soon fail.

no, its a bit noisy. then there is the internal vibration that I noted to the company. It gives good results for foot pain.

Yes, I do. At first I thought it was just a pesky piece of styrofoam stuck in one of the wheels, but after removing that it still squeaks. Only when I'm making forward strides though, not backwards. I haven't yet determined the cause or solution.

I use my cane with this tip every day and though to just feel the tip you would say it is rigid, when you walk with it there is flexion in the feet. I have several canes and I have this tip on all of them. The feet will definitely flex enough to follow the terrain. I really recommend it.

By the way, I didn't say this earlier for some reason, but mine is truly silent. Again, I'm on a basement floor. It doesn't squeak. Only my foot falls. Best wishes!

Nope, none that we have heard. It's quite good. There are no springs to squeak and no other moving parts. It's a very sturdy piece of equipment.

hi, I have noticed that over time the foot does get some play in it , but it hasn't changed how the cane works for me. I saw a comment where one guy super glued his but I really don't think its a good idea. If it does bother u, id probable just buy another cane as the price is reasonable and the new model has a built in flashlight. ive had mine for over a year and it still works fine, but does have some play in it, but again it doesn't bother me and I really like the way it flexes to fit the terrain

It does make some noise like water hammer after releasing the float. I guess that is not unusual.

No. The sound it makes is similar to the rustling sound a high thread count sheet makes when you fluff it. When I move around in bed it makes no unpleasant or strange sounds, only the natural sounds of my movement against the sheets.

That is a critical flaw in the cane. My friend's cane throws a foot every couple of months and since he is hard of hearing, he doesn't hear the footless scrapping sound when he uses the cane. I just keep an ear out and when it falls off, I start looking everywhere he's been. I still recommend it because it gives him almost as much stability as a walker, without the walker, which would make him feel so much older.Hurrycane needs to address the issue, because the replacement is way too expensive
