Trying to sound proof the second floor which is carpet. Can I put it under carpet? I probably need the carpet padding, so can it go under padding?

I don't see why it couldn't be used like that. Just lay it down and staple thru carpet pad and this to secure. Its denser than foam carpet padding so it should help with the noise.

Mine is on a tile floor. I do not think carpet would be bad but, if i were to put it on carpet I would go to Home Depot and get 4 tiles to place it on.Hope this helps.

I have mine on tile and running under furniture, but I see no reason it won't work on carpet or under a rug. After installation, this wire way lays really flat even without the tape

Yes, the speaker points at the floor. It has four, 1 1/2 inch long, rubber tipped feet that suspend it above the surface it's on. Our carpet does not have a deep nap and we don't seem to have any problem with the bass. If you did have a deep carpet, perhaps get a square of wood or plastic to set it on but I don't know that would be necessary.

We have ours on the second floor of our house you can hear it running when your downstairs but it's not too bad it's quieter than the other treadmill that we have. We did put a very thick mat under it the ones that get-together sort of like a puzzle

Not sure how to answer. I bought this "mat" for a friend who stands on her feet all day for work. It cushions what would normally be a hard and unforgiving floor. Why you would put it under a mattress top, I'm not sure? If you are seeking "padding" for the concrete floor, I don't think two would do it ... Check the dimensions, these are not big mats.

It isn't really loud but it is loud enough that I can't hear the tv in the other room while I'm on it. Mine is on a wood floor and I have the mat and a piece of cardboard under it. The vibration might cause it to be heard in a room below but tile floors might be better for sound than my wood floors. I did notice that it had more of a squeaking sound when I had it on my carpet. It definitely deoes not do as well on carpet.

You can put in carpet safely. I have put it all the time in Wood floor and it will give extra bass. Speakers are not that powerful for a big room. I am using only it for Surround sound and front I have floor standing speakers

My V2Max stood on a thick Berber carpet with under carpeting. I had to carpet my whole private studio as I had converted the basement of my house. Some pretty big people jumped on that STOTT PILATES Cardio Tramp and it never budged the V2Max. So you should have no problem.

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.

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.

Well, that's a little hard for me to answer. Our treadmill is already on a carpeted floor. I didn't seem to notice much difference in sound after. Ik got the mat to protect the carpet.

I put those foam pads under mine, not right on the floor. The suction cups don't work on it but you don't need them!

I tried it and ended up tacking it down to keep it in place. Bear in mind there is no hardwood floors under the carpet. Tacked down it works just fine.

The concrete basement floor that I put it in on was pretty uneven and it worked great. If there was an ubrupt change in elevation or large gap, I could could see that being a problem. I wouldn't put any padding or pre-floor.

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.

I use the mat on our 2nd floor over carpet for a road bike w/trainer, and it works well. Not sure it's designed to absorb sound, I purchased it to prevent damage to my carpet. Hopefully you are ordering a wider version of the mat I have, or your treadmill is narrow, because I'm not sure this exact mat is wide enough to support an average sized treadmill.
