The people who live below me have complained about the noise I make while working out, so would this help insulate the sound?

Amazon asked me to answer your question. My guess is it would help somewhat. I can say that it is a fabulous and durable product. I have been using it in my workshop for several years now and am super pleased. Best of luck.

I workout in a gym and can usually hear other weights but not so much others talking.

Probably. It's very quiet compared to most exercise equipment, but the fan noise is loud enough that TV volume needs to be turned up pretty significantly.

It depends on how loud you listen to the music in your ears, if it's loud, it should drown out exterior noise pretty well

The foam sheet is not that thick for your purpose. I would think you would be better to lay a thick carpet padding and a wall-to-wall carpet over the entire floor in the room you wish to decrease the noise from below.

The machine itself is quiet overall. I use it on the 2nd level of my home and the living room is directly below me so I use a mat underneath and it absorbs most of the noise. Ocassionally my kids say they hear it but don't when the TV is on loud enough. I'd suggest placing a treadmill mat underneath if you live in an older apartment. The machine has a small footprint so it can be used in a number of places but may need 2 people to move it around or get it upstairs so hopefully you have an elevator. Good Luck!

It may help some but I think the noise has more to do with the box spring and bed frame. It will make the bed more comfortable.

They will certainly help. Most any noise reduction solutions will, earplugs, ear muffs etc. They have good noise reduction. Check the -db levels, the higher the better.

No it will not help. All you will be able to hear is the back-ground noise. You will not be able to hear the people close to you. You would be better to get a device with volume control.

If your floors are carpeted, that would help. I also think it might depend on your particular apartment building and how much noise you hear from your neighbors. The rebounder isn't especially noisy.

It's not loud enough to block out yelling I'm sure. But it does reduce random noise-for example my apt is just next to the elevator on my floor and it drowns out the "ding" & muffled voices of people in the hallway.

It will definitely help to absorb sound and some vibrations. I cannot speak to all vibrations. I purchased these interlocking mats for similar reasons , i.e., not wanting to wake up my downstairs neighbor during my P90X3 workouts.

For me yes. I live in an apartment building and it helps drown out the sound from the people living above us. I've also found it helps me with anxiety. I put it on and I'm more easily able to do some meditation/mental imagery work that helps me fall asleep.

Yeah, its pretty quiet. Mine's especially quiet lately, I really should get on it again. :)But to answer your question, I don't think it would be an irritant to the people below.

Maybe, if you are someone who can sleep lying on his/her back all night long, or has a special donut-shaped pillow which leaves room for the earmuffs. If the sound you are trying to deaden is rumbly, be aware that some of that low frequency sound is still going to get through.

Yes, I believe this Marpac would help. It may not completely eliminate noisy neighbor sounds, but when placed properly within the room it will definitely help.

I have mine under a weight machine in our garage which we turned into a rec / workout room. It works perfect for what I have it for. As far as noise reduction under a treadmill (we have one) my only thought to help you would be that this mat is heavy and thick. It would probably work better than anything else that you would buy. If a mat is going to absorb sound this would be it. This is a really good mat period.
