Is the bike quiet enough to use in a 2nd floor unit with thin walls?

Yes, I think so. I live in a single story house. My husband can't hear it in his office which is next door. I love it, hope you will too!

Yes, definitely, it is silent, you can barely even tell someone is on it from a few feet away. I ride it while watching my tv on low volume without any issues. It's the quietest bike i have owned. Hope this helps. I am still using it, and i bought it a long long time ago

In my opinion based on my experience you will not hear much except a very quiet whoosh of the wheels. I think it essential to this experience is care in putting the bike together with someone else following all the directions to the letter.

I think so,but make sure to have a rubber mat under it,even if you have carpeting.It makes a whirring noise,but it isn't that loud in my opinion.Unfortunately,if you have sensitive neighbors almost any equipment might set them off,but this is pretty quiet compatered to a treadmill or elliptical

...I use my bike for rehab from knee surgery and never take it above the lowest setting ...and it is totally quiet ...I adjusted the resistance early on and there was a small "thumping" noise, like something shifted and was trying to reset ?..it soon became quiet again ...I use it every day ~ 30 minutes...Jt

It is quiet, but I would suggest buying another cooling unit as this one is under powered.

We have it in a small laundry room, so noise is not a factor. I just checked it and it is very quiet. Hope this helps.

Not as loud as a desk fan or similar. Run it in an apartment without much notice.

It was quiet within a normal home environment. If you have special requirements, you'd better get input from someone who uses it with no background noise.

I use mine in my basement while I am working in the same room. It is not noisy in my opinion. I doubt anyone could hear it through a wall. Set it on a piece of short napped indoor/outdoor carpet or something.

In our house (2 story) just a little of th noise comes through to the first floor. However, condos have a bad reputation (true or not) for hardly any sound absorbing material between units, so I am sorry to say that it would be hard for m to give you a clear idea without knowing for sure what your place is like. Sorry if this does not help but it is the best I can do with my limited knowledge of your condo.

Not loud. You have to be within a few feet to hear it. If you install it on a different floor or in a location you don't frequent you probably will not hear it. Look elsewhere.

Admittedly, I have the smallest unit, but it is absolutely whisper-quiet. I can hear it a tiny bit if nothing else is on in the room. If anything, it's a tiny bit of white noise (which is a good thing at night, as it masks other noises).

If the aforementioned building is an apartment like structure. Then yes it would make noise. it would make noises just like jumping up and down in that building. Now if that building is like a building in New York City, then it would depend on how much space between the floors are.

Its not too noisy at all. I was living on the second floor in my building. No complaints from the neighbors.

Mine is pretty loud because since my bike is placed against my building I face the speaker towards the building and the sound bounces off the building and echos.

Mine is noisy, but kind of a white noise. If I had it in the bedroom, it would not bother me, but I like that type of noise to be able to cover for other random noises from outside. It is most definitely NOT a quiet unit, though.

I have it installed in a rental. There's no way around having a wall type AC making the noise of blowing air (fan). I would not say that it's quiet.

Initially the equipment was very smooth and quiet. It has developed a "knock" and I am unable to determine exactly the source. It is not loud and should not disturb adjacent apartments or one below.

No..the unit is quieter than my dishwasher or even the fridge when the comoressor is running. Id say equal to a small desk fan. I cannot hear it unless im in the kitchen.

No, it doesn't make much noise. The unit is heavy enough to minimize vibration to the floor. My wife easily watches TV in the same room when I'm using it.
