I live on the top floor apartment and I was wondering if this would lessen the noise and impact of workouts like jumping jacks and high knees?

I bought these for just that reason when I had hardwood floors in my apartment. I think it dulled the noise quite a bit and would help a lot on carpet as well, but not entirely, you will still have to consciously try to jump lightly. My downstairs neighbor never came to complain.

I would assume any padding will lessen the noise. I have this setup in garage so I can't speak from experience. Maybe someone who has similar setup to your will have a more concrete answer.

I think it would help a lot. I find it also helps the impact on your joints as well. Very shock absorbing

It makes a big difference. We started exercising with no shoes after installing this product. It is also directly on a ceramic tile floor and still does not bother our knees or ankles and we are doing T-25 on it!

Don't real know send it back. And my room is down stair, so it want apply to me. Sorry

I don't believe it is thick enough to keep your pounding on the floor from turning into the downstairs neighbors pounding on your door.

The machine is quiet, but if you're walking on it, people will probably hear you.. especially if you break into a jog.. You may be able to cut down on the noise by purchasing a treadmill pad. The more padding you have, the less noise. It all really depends on how heavy you are, how loud you walk. ^_^

This is a very quiet unit. It can be used in a situation like yours. If you want, you can put/add a small carpet uder it or one of those rubber exercise mats.

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!

They won't block all noise, you can still hear a little bit. What you hear is muffled however. I've never had to deal with high heels on hardwood, but I would expect that the knocking sound would not be as sharp or as loud. You would probably sleep better and concentrate better with muffled sound than without the ear plugs.

As Mack replied, I'm sure this rubber mat help reduce the thumping noise from the trampoline feet hitting your floor (wood?), but won't totally reduce the noise level. Couldn't be worse, only better.

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!

The simple answer, as is often the case, is - it depends. The machine makes a reasonable whooshing noise developed by the air resistance device. There is the mechanical whirring of the chain mechanism to but that is more subdued. I cannot really advise with any certainty but I doubt that the whooshing would be too distracting to others who are not in close proximity. As it is a medium pitch sound I suspect it will be absorbed more easily and therefore not be transmitted well through walls, floors and ceilings. Good luck.

It is quiet. When the pedal is at its highest it is 14 in off the floor. It would be great for your knee rehab but under your desk it would not work vary well.

I'm not sure. I live in a loft style apartment and use it indoors to block the sound from below the staircase.

Is p9ox like burst training? I purchased this mat for my son & I can tell you that it is very adequate for hardwood floors - padding is thick and the mat stays in place. As for noise reduction (maybe in reference for the apartment below you?) I honestly don't know. I think you won't find a better mat for the price.

Yes. I bought it because I live in a second floor apartment and didn't want to disturb my neighbor downstairs. It's really quiet.

You would have to have the sound volume at a painfully high level to you for the sound to be bothersome to anyone sitting next to you. I find that the ambient noise around my cube drowns out any of the sound leakage coming out of my SR850.

Only if you have the volume really high. The air is still being pushed around the contact points so it creates sound. Unfortunately I've found them very ineffective at low volume especially in a busy gym.

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.

I can't say for sure, but I would not think this would make a lot of noise to folks below you. The machine itself is very quiet, so it would just be the sound of the foot-falls that could be of concern. I'm assuming you are within the weight limit recommended for this machine so, with that in mind, I think the noise would be minimal, especially if the machine will be on carpeting or a mat.

Hi, it should take care of most sound and vibration on the main floor but if it's an upper level floor, it probably will not completely get rid of it. Hope this helps!
