does it reduces the noise of the chain when it hits the chainstay?

Yes it will. It won't completely eliminate it, but it will greatly reduce it.

It does on most small jumps, but if you have a big drop you will still hear it. It does a good job of protecting your frame tho.

No, the machine's noise is minimum and nice. You can check it out on YouTube.

Not at all! As a matter of fact, it makes it louder and focuses the sound towards the front. Kind of cool!

No. It only helps my back a little. It is fairly quiet. I keep the motor and light part on the carpeted floor which hides the light and muffles the small motor sound.

The air flow from the windshield is the culprit. You can try to move the front rack forward or backward. It might attenuate the vibration but I doubt that it'll disappear completely. All racks whose bars are square have the same problem. A friend added a plastic deflector to the front bar and it has reduced the noise significantly. Good luck!

Yes, and the hum changes with motion. It will also make the impact sound when you bump it on anything.

Yes. It reduces noise significant ly. But I am not sure how the neighbour's below are being affected. They didn't complained. It can depend on the building also.

Mine doesnt squeak! The springs provided with this swing are very high quality. My lack of squeak may be how it's hung -- I have heavy chain wrapped around an iron pipe, and the springs are hooked into this. Perhaps other methods of hanging will create more noise. I suggest trying it out and then evaluating your need for squeak suppression.

Mine doesn't make noise as I'm turning the gears, but if you hit the stops too hard, they'll make a "clunk." I'm not using this on a daily basis, but for the price, it is totally worth it. Works very smoothly in my opinion.

The motor is loud. But u can cover it while using the motor which does decrease noise...I did that when I did not want to wake grandchild.

Yes, it dulls the sound with no sustain. Snare not as much because the chain is not muted underneath. But still effective.

No. There is a low sound of the rollers along the track, and after 10,000+ strokes the main bushings will wear and will cause a dull "clunk". A call to customer service got me replacement bushings and corrected that. So, at it's worst ,the machine is not noisy.

Yes, there is dense rubber foam padding strategically placed to make it quieter. The cymbals only touch the inside shaft, unless they bump together while you're carrying it. I still have a little noise of cymbals hitting each other if I shake it or set it down hard, but it's not super noisy. My cymbals are old & dirty, so I can't tell you if the padding would scuff shiny cymbals. It's black dense foam rubber, from the looks of it.

I live on the Third floor Apt and yes it does reduce some of the noise from my jumping around on it. However, if you have hardwood floors like I do that squeak than position mat on less squeaky section of the floor and you should be okay.

Hard to say...it does get loud. It has never disappointed us, but we don't use it in that environment. Everyone who meets it, loves it. It might be awkward to use on a bike.

It probably will cancel the traffic noise but the beat from the bass from the bar definitely will still vibrate through your apartment. There's little you can do about unwanted vibration except move!

Yes it does make a slight noise mine is installed in the basement so I don't hear it ,hope this helps!
