Is this machine quiet enough to use while I watch TV, if properly oiled?

The wheels are firm and a bit noisey, yet, it's quite enough for me to watch TV. If any metal or plastic pieces make contact, consider placing a piece of foam, rubber or felt between the contact points.

indeed, the most noise you will hear is your own grunting after you exceed 100 reps

i used it for an hour everyday watching "People's Court"...only problem i had was the pistons getting hot after 30 minutes and tightening up.

Wouldn't want to use it next to a very light sleeper. I turn up the TV slightly when using it. I wish it was slightly quieter but do not think the noise would keep me from buying it.

It does make some noise but not real loud. I normally use it while watching TV and do not have to adjust the volume. Similar to a stationary bicycle. However you do have to lay down to use it so it may not be well suited to use it at work.

It's noisy, I have mine in my movie room and do not really hear it if the TV is on. But if ur going to put it in ur bedroom it will prob keep u up at night.

very quiet. Have you tried performing the recommended lubrication per the instructions in the manual?

No, the machine's noise is minimum and nice. You can check it out on YouTube.

No, it is not completely silent. The unit is like a very low hum. And, I have found I need to stay within 10 feet to smell the essential oils, so I do hear the sound.

Its very quiet. I have it in my living room next to my DVD amp etc..you cannot tell it is on.

Not very noisy. I have it in my living room and it doesn't bother me with the TV or anything. The only problem with it is my tv remote randomly turns it off. I would say it works great and you should buy it. Good luck!

The noise level is moderate and what would be expected for what the machine does. The noise has not been an issue for me.

It can be quite noisy even with TV or music on, but good news...I found a way to suppressed it, simply by using some sort of lubricant over the pad and eh voila, problem disappeared...I personally use ' RUSTCURE' by FORMULA 3000..you can use something similar to that...good luck

I don't know if I would call it quiet. I don't run it while I'm watching TV. I do like the unit.

Yes, not noisy. Not sure why the Kettle would ever be so close to a TV that the issue would arise.

Its loud enough for me to sleep... but I'm not sure I'd label it as 'Very Loud'. We can watch tv with it on and only have to turn in up a couple more notches if that tells you anything.

I have mine in the playroom and away from anywhere we sit to watch tv. Noise for me is not an issue.

About average PC noise. Definitely not quiet. It is best to put it in a remote place where you won't hear it. It's quiet enough for an office but not for a media/TV room.

Its loud enough if you like white noise. If its for cooling only its a little loud on the "HI" setting, enough to drown out the TV
