We're getting ready to install, any ideas for a reasonably priced product to lay under these to stop the "click/clack" sound of plastic on concrete?

I installed on my 2 car garage here in Florida. No underlay and there is no click/click.

Check the manual. There is an automatic filter to cancel out those annoying noises...works pretty well for us. Good luck!

I put it directly over concrete floors and have had no problems, but I live in Colorado where things are fairly dry anyway. The green side is plastic, so it's supposed to act as a moisture barrier. I will say that the sound reduction is wonderful even over the concrete floor.

I have exactly the same problem. It is very loud and annoying to others in the room. I thought maybe slipping a piece of plastic cut from an old milk bottle between the seat and the rail might help but haven''t tried it yet.

Putty knife and a hammer would work great. Just put the putty knife between the concrete and plastic and hammer it in to remove the adhesive.

I would suggest some JB Weld. Also, you can't beat the strength of Gorilla Glue, but it expands, so you will want to clamp to prevent it splitting the plastic more.

It's me again...I read the reply from the other person. The directions suggest that you buy a spray can of lubricant to use on the underside of the belt periodically (silicon, I think). The information is in the owner's manual. I think this would have solved the other person's noise problem.

Buy some shower caps and put them on when speakers are not in use. Take down in the winter to save them from excessive elements.

If I was you, purchase something of a higher quality. I added heavy duty outdoor duct tape, and still have issues now and then. Good luck

I used ply wood to construct a shallow box for them to mount to. I installed them in a metal box on my bbq pit on trailer, they sound great and are loud. Just needs something to absorb some of the vibrations.

I would say probably try to go a little tighter to see if it stops the squeak if it doesn't maybe take the screw out reproduction a little and then reinstall.

We just went to the local home depot and purchased a piece of 1" pipe insulation. It glues right onto the arms and cushions the bikes. Once that wears through you take off the old piece and put on a new one. Cheap solution.

My purpose for purchasing this product was for a moisture barrier and cushioning. I used it over a concrete slab. Cannot speak to the sound proofing qualities. My floor was quiet to walk on and had just enough give to let me appreciate that it was wood and no longer vinyl over concrete. I would buy this product again.

If sound proofing is what u need just insulation isn't really going to do much. Visit AVS forum and look at the sound proofing sticky in the dedicated theater/ construction section. That's the best advise I can give you.

A simple anti-slip (anti-skip) mat would work. You can also use wood glue or wood screws to install a raised edge near the bottom. Fifteen minute shopping trip at Home Depot or Lowes.

I have found that most of my squeaks seem to come from the rubber pads on the footrests. I can adjust the position of my feet to eliminate most of the noise. Maybe you could try to wedge something thin in next to the pad and see if it helps any.

Like Rob Harrison said, a pair of pliers should do the trick. Its pretty stout plastic.
