Its advertised as being good for apartments, I live on the 2nd floor, would this treadmill make too much noise for neighbors?

The treadmill is quiet, as advertised. Mine is outdoors about 10 feet from my neighbor's patio seating area. No complaints. It's been super helpful for my dog.

I use the mat on our 2nd floor over carpet for a road bike w/trainer, and it works well. Not sure it's designed to absorb sound, I purchased it to prevent damage to my carpet. Hopefully you are ordering a wider version of the mat I have, or your treadmill is narrow, because I'm not sure this exact mat is wide enough to support an average sized treadmill.

It is pretty loud, but it moves a ton of air! I use it in my workout room and the noise is fine. If you plan on using it near a TV or while sleeping, it might be a little too loud.

Yes. If you just want to keep what goes on in your apartment from being overheard, this machine is perfect, thanks to the varity of sounds generatable, from white noise to random sounds from nature, at a very high volume, if necessary.

I purchased the mat to protect my hardwood floors. I haven't noticed any vibrations or noise as a result of my treadmill. That may be due to the fact that I have a brand new treadmill.

Our treadmill is upstairs in our condo. While the room is carpeted I think the mat does help reduce the noise.

If the aforementioned building is an apartment like structure. Then yes it would make noise. it would make noises just like jumping up and down in that building. Now if that building is like a building in New York City, then it would depend on how much space between the floors are.

I used this treadmill on a carpet with a treadmill map beneath it. The noise I mentioned in my review was quite loud in the house if I did not shut the door. Once I shut the door, the noise was not that bad. I am not sure if the downstairs will hear the vibration if the floor is wooden floor.

not loud, I don't think it would be heard by a neighbor, unless one was below your unit, there might be some detected through the floor to their ceiling.

It does make a sound but I don't find it too noisy. If you're in an apartment bldg it might cause a neighbor to ask what the noise is but I don't see it as so loud that people bang on the ceiling.

Ummm.. It is defnitely loud enough for an apartment.. My apartment is just about 900 sqft.. But if you have huge spaces and you want the sound everywhere perhaps something additional will suit you..

It is loud which is why I chose it..however if your neighbors will hear it really depend on how thin your walls are as well as where you have the timer located in your apt... so keep it on the lowest volume setting and keep it away from any shared walls and you should be fine.

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. ^_^

Worked pretty good to absorb noise running on a treadmill in a 2nd floor apt. Hope this helps.

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!

I don't think it's noisy....it has a hollow sound when I step on it, that could be because I use it in my garage so it kind of echoes. If you have carpet I don't think it would make any noise. Hope this helps.

This mats main use is to cushion your drop on jumps while excercise but I do have a much larger mat made of same material under my treadmill in my bedroom and I also live on the 2nd floor of a 2 floor house and it does great with muffling the sound. I have never had a complaint from my downstairs neighbors on it.
