Noise Level: Since I'm in an apartment building, I was wondering how loud this air-stepper is to use?

It is very quiet. As it gets older the air sound gets louder, but my husband uses ours every night while I am sleeping and I don't hear it. Just a swish swish sound. It will not disturb your neighbors, above or below.

Quite noisy - we moved it to the basement from the living room. I can't compare to a window AC but it is noisier than a central air. Although it is the proper size for our house, it ran continuously to achieve a 45% humidity for our house.

even a little bicycle pump is loud, just the nature of the beast- but all and all, I'd call it "normal" for an air compressor, not overly loud, but your neighbor will know oyu are using it.

I use mine in a shop, I would say the noise level would be similar to that of a box fan. The unit does a great job.

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.

There are four volume settings and the lowest volume would be fine for an apartment. If you think that is too loud, I put a piece of scotch tape over the speaker hole and the volume got even quieter.

not loud at all. I would use it indoors if we had a room big enough and tall enough

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

I don't think it is very quiet, making a sort of chugging/humming sound. I'm noise sensitive, so it would bother me if someone was near me while they were using it. If you were in another room, I don't think it could be heard, however.

I find that the machine is pretty quiet as far as exercise equipment goes. My treadmill is much louder, and it's probably even quieter than my stationary bike.

That's a personal assessment. It is no louder than window air conditioners I've had in my own bedrooms. It's quieter than many wall air conditioners in motels.

Yes, it is really silent. I use it in an apartment building and my neighbors don't complain!

The step itself is not noisy. However, it depends on your workout how the sound will carry. Hope this helps!

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!

(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!!

It is fairly loud on high. I use it in a workout room and have to turn up the TV volume. However, I rarely use it on high since it pushes a lot of air. The sound level on medium and low is not unreasonable.

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.
