Hi! How quite or noisy is this trainer?

I don't find it that noisy, a little extra but overall seems to be low on the noise side compared to others I have heard.

Mine seen to work fairly well, not perfectly smoothly but good enough. I hear no squeak. It ships with a little plastic socket wrench that pops right off and can be used to adjust the tension on the leg locking clasps. You might play with that and see if an adjustment helps. I have found customer service very good. They sent me a whole new head when I had a problem.

Not too noisy. I posted a short video of the Snow Joe in about 8 inches of powdery snow on YouTube: http://youtu.be/cauUUHCOQLo

It is not really noisy. It makes a swoosh sounds as you walk or run on it -- but not noise.

The step itself is not noisy. However, it depends on your workout how the sound will carry. Hope this helps!

Relatively quiet. It's my first treadmill, so I don't have a great comparison. However, I plug in my iPad and watch videos while I walk and don't have any problems hearing the dialog.

It is not too noisy. On the other hand I used it in a kitchen where the noise level is higher then in an office. Good luck.

Not loud or noisy at all, just the regular treadmill noise. My wife has been using it for a while now and she loves it

My wife is the primary user of the device, and she states that it is way quieter than another older trainer she was using.

Yes, it is a little noisy but not unbearable. I have shredded for 45 minutes without being annoyed by the sound. It is micro and it is moderately fast.

It is quieter than my last treadmill (when I don't have my iPod plugged in to use the built in speakers and play my music loud). We have the treadmill in a bedroom which is near two other bedrooms and shut the door and it doesn't bother anyone. I will say we are a family that sleeps with fans running so maybe that is an added buffer to the treadmill sound. I do not think it is noisy. The only issue is a bad design where the cover is located at your feet - you step on it occassionally. We fixed this problem by adding a 1-1/4" wood dowelling that fits into the handles perfectly and hold onto the dowel instead of the built-in handle bars. I can send you a pic if interested if you give an email address. It is quieter than my last treadmill (when I don't have my iPod plugged in to use the built in speakers and play my music loud).

It is not noisy and works very well. I cannot answer about durability because I have owned it only a couple of months

I find it to be quite loud - when running it sounds like I'm stomping my feet on it. I've been running routinely at gyms for 10+ years and have never had this issue. My model may have a defect though, I don't know.

Yes, it is loud. I was warned by one the reviews before buying it, but bought it anyway. I am happy with the machine overall, but the noise has got the biggest downside.

It is not overly noisy, in my opinion, but I am old so my hearing isn't trustworthy. Perhaps a younger person should answer your question.

This one is less noisy than others I've tried, but it's hardly ultra quiet. I would say that the noise is tolerable.

Cool news....I actually have a jar of red wheel bearing grease in front of me...heading for he basement and the brand new Schwinn 430! I will try loosening the bolts. The squeaking on mine started after 8 minutes and I have already doused it with WD-40. I hope the loosening of the bolts will fix the noise. I LOVE this machine. I also added cut out carpet pieces to the foot pedals to keep my shoes from making noise when they come off the pedals. The best part of this elliptical is the compact size and the sturdiness. I feel like I have made a good investment...even with the noise.
