I have road tires...is that going to still have a quite sound?...or am I doomed with the noise?

The noise actually comes from the fan that drives the resistance. I just throw on some headphones and hardly notice it. It sounds like an old vacuum cleaner.

We have mountain tires, and there is a bit of a sound, road tire should be a little better. We like it, and it's a cheap and versatile option.

I cannot hear the sound. however, you may want to check your municipality's sound ordinance. I you are not exceeding those decible levels, then you have little to worry about.. Guns are noisy, so what!os

I installed it without the wind deflector and it's pretty noisy on my car. I'm going to install the deflector and see if it quiets it down any.

Honestly. This would provide less sound than you want before it provides too much. Its a very subtle difference, but it is noticeable. I have this exhaust system and a KN intake. Its very nice. But to answer your question i assure you, it wont be too loud.

It has a hum for sure. Some of that depends on the tires on your bike. I had three different bikes on mine and they all sounded different, some louder than others. Tension increases the hum too.

I have 45k mile on a set on a Dodge Ram truck. No roar at all for the first 38k. Now they make some noise but not as much as you would think. Seeing the tread on these tire would make you think they would be a rumble. Tot even close. I would get them again for sure.

I haven't mounted rear tires yet. Front ones were a pain, but certainly doable. I suppose I've been dreading the job, but it really shouldn't be to bad. Try some Dawn liquid soap for a lubricant.(not to much)

probably not much, i can hear car noises when i'm outside perfectly fine with the included foam sleeves if you buy the tri flange ones, those block really really well (but pretty uncomfortable for me), also the yellow foams are garbage, they don't block any sound

When driving on the highway, the Fortera 245/65/17 rated about 6/7 out of 10 for noise in my opinion. Mostly a humming noise if I remember correctly; though, all tires have some noise, especially the rugged off-road/snow tires. I have since replaced my Fortera's with the Michelin M/S and love them: they are what quality shoe orthotics are to shoes. I probably would not buy the Goodyear Fortera again unless they were on clearance. Fortera is considered a quality tire and recommended by Jeep dealerships, so best to price shop. Oh, and I got less than 32K miles on my set before having to replace. I would recommend shopping around for Michelin rebates and buy 3 get 1 free deals. Good Luck!

You'll be fine. When mine is running I have to get pretty close to it to hear it.

You should know that a lot of the noise comes from the tire tread on the roller. If you have a mountain bike tire, it will be really loud. Get a cheap smooth tire to quiet it down.

yes thats what i have, but it will depend on your car stereo as well and how you have this amp tuned as well, so play with the nobs , but this is loud for me
664184
Yes sir. That's what it is made for. Take out the silencer and it gives it a nice tone! Not as loud as I hoped but for any louder than this will get u, u will have to use a header and retune ur bike

The wheels are very smooth rubber and have ball bearings. I have not yet noticed any audible sound from them after several uses. However, I am usually shooting events, so any wheel noise would be inaudible anyway, but rolling it around I can't hear anything in a quiet room.

The volume is slightly lacking. I used it at the Indianapolis GP and 500 and was able to hear fine when the cars were not there, but I had to have it turned up all the way. When the cars went by you could not hear it. However, I was only using ear buds. A headset with a volume booster may help. I will be going to the Milwaukee Indyfest in August which will put the cars in constant earshot and I will report back how it does in that situation.Update: was OK, but again was only using ear buds. I would definitely recommended noise cancelling or amplified headset.
