Would jumping on this pad cause any floor noise to be heard from an upstairs apartment?

It would seroiusly muffle the sound but not completly remove the impact or echo

Maybe. It does dissipate a lot of the energy because of the foam so if I had to venture a guess I would say that it would be less noisy than just jumping up and down on the floor. I have it on a concrete floor so I have no basis for comparison though. Best of luck!

No reason not to, although if your floor is thin and uninsulated, you may be able to hear it sometimes when it gets quiet. I have one in the crawl space under our modular home, which does not have an insulated floor, and it works fine but I can barely hear it in the early morning hours when I'm laying in bed.

Not noisy at all. If your floors are squeaky, they may make noise but so will walking across them.

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?

Per the manufacturer, no. It bounces up and down against the walls if placed on the floor and sideways if hung sideways. That said, I put the 2 of the product next to heat vents (1 per vent) on the floor with the idea of seeing whether it might work that way. As far as I can tell, it did. No sound of critters after that.

Yes, problem is it will put a little hole on surface. My upstairs in now squeak free.

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.

A pad would be recommended. Simply because it will protect the floor as well dampen the noise. It is a very quiet machine but the extra padding will be helpful.

It depends on how creaky your floors are. In a standard condo building, I wouldn't think at all. If it is an older building with wooden floors, then maybe just a little. P.S. I love this trampoline!

Our treadmill is upstairs in our condo. While the room is carpeted I think the mat does help reduce the noise.

It does both well but would not recommend it vibration will still travel. Better to ask landlord to transfer lease to ground floor. Also this thing is huge in the box good luck getting it up stairs it is heavy good quality equipment, also what about when you move?

As for the effectiveness of this product, my experience is that it hasn't made the mice go away entirely, but has reduced their numbers noticeably.

No. Basically, you're experiencing the sucky part of apartment living. This is for sound absorption, not soundproofing. Soundproofing is typically done by installing mineral wool or other soundproofing materials in the walls, floors, and ceilings during construction of a unit. Acoustic foam only absorbs and displaces sound waves emanating in a room (e.g. they make an "echoey" room less "echoey"). Sound Proofing = stopping of sound waves, as in moving from room to room like your noisy neighbor. Sound Absorption = absorbs extra sound waves in a particular space. Trust me, there is nothing you can buy on the internet that will fix your noisy neighbor problem. A better solution would be to ask said neighbor to observe more respectable noise levels appropriate for apartment living.

It is not terribly noisy - if you are going to use it on tile, you might consider putting a rug or rubber mat under it to minimize sound transferred through hard flooring surfaces. I would not think noise would be a problem

I wouldn't worry. The one exercise (also one of the best) that creates the most noise is the plyometric workout (legs, lower body). It involves quite a bit of jumping. The goal, as stated in the video, is to have soft landings with as little impact as possible for the sake of your joints, this equates to quiet landings. I was already in ok shape when I started and am about 5' 10" 170 lbs and was able to land quietly from the start. So with this one workout it really depends on you. I hope this helps, and good luck!

Though it could be because of how we assembled it (possible loose bolts on the neck), mine is a bit loud. Loud squeaking with each step. I don't think it's heard by my neighbors, but my apartments are pretty good on sound blocking (though if they do hear something, it's probably the TV, as I turn that up a little louder to hear it over the elliptical).

Hi, I live in a one story home...but I do the tread climber at 4 am and no one in my house has complained about the noise. We put foam puzzle mats under it so that it would not damage the floor so this may be helping too. Note: we keep our house pretty cool about 63 degrees. It takes the shocks a few minutes to warm up so it is a little bit clunky at first. Also this thing has wheels but is extremely heavy once it is put together so moving it up and downstairs if you move will take two grown strong men. But this is not a bad thing because it feels sturdy when supporting the weight of my 300 lb husband, some machine we have had in the past feel flimsy.
