use a quiet noisy oxygen concentrato...does this mat absorb "mechanical, vibrating" noises?....thanks!

I am using it as a static worksurface mat and it is very dense and durable. If your machine has pad feet and I'm no engineer, but if you put down a sheet of material( phenolic, plywood or metal) to increase the surface area of your machine it would vertually last forever and would absorb a large amount of your vibration problem. I think it would work great!

I found the fat mat to be odor free and exposure to areas that get fairly hot (near exhaust pipes) has not caused any problems. Fat Mat should work well for quieting your dishwasher, I think that I will do the same to mine!

Hi. Noise and vibration is not a problem at all, I find it to be very quite. This works very good for my purposes BUT I am not aging $100+ bottles of wine or anything. I'm not really that sophisticated. Good luck.

The noise/vibration will probably be dependent on how stable the floor is. Mine is in the basement, and I have no noise or vibration. If the floor is not very stable you will probably experience some noise but not much vibration since this is a very heavy piece of equipment.

Hi - I use mine in my first-floor studio, for use with polymer clay. I had my son go up one floor to see how noisy it was, and if it would keep everyone up late at night. He said he could hear it but not if the bedroom doors were closed. I cannot hear sound on my computer while the motor is going, unless I have on a headset.The motor works great.

I can tell a difference when the vacuum is on, but it is not very loud. I would say it adds a little but not a whole lot of noise. Make sure the red screw that is there for shipping is removed...if your system is very noisey you may want to contact support.

It isn't really loud but it is loud enough that I can't hear the tv in the other room while I'm on it. Mine is on a wood floor and I have the mat and a piece of cardboard under it. The vibration might cause it to be heard in a room below but tile floors might be better for sound than my wood floors. I did notice that it had more of a squeaking sound when I had it on my carpet. It definitely deoes not do as well on carpet.

That would depend on how long and at what speed you are using it. I have not used it for an extended period of time and have not been bothered by any vibration. I am a big guy with big hands and it has been fine. The noise can be a bother if you are in a confined space.

I don't know, we also had carpet. We use it more for protection. We only used the treadmill after we got the cal mat. However, Our baby was sleeping in the next room. It didn't disturb her when we used the treadmill.

This mat won't help your situation. This mat is pretty nice though. When I 1st got mine I thought I was ripped off because its so thin. After using it however, I found that I didn't have any static problem and it supports the records perfectly. It can still slip if you push down hard on a cleaning pad, but you shouldn't do that anyway. The bottom line is yes, I like the pad but it can't stop feedback from transmitted vibration. Nothing besides a 1,000 LB block of concrete to set your turntable on can, I know because I have the same problem.

OMG it does!!! I think it's worth the work out but it does get really annoying... at first it was just a noise as if you're pumping air and that one is easy to get used to. But recently it started making this cracking noise as if it's about to break and that one is super annoying!

If you work it with the cardiod pattern, work it close and reduce the gain you should be able to reduce the background noise. You could also surround the mic with a sound shield - I think Amazon has these three sided foam contraptions.

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.

It will definitely help to absorb sound and some vibrations. I cannot speak to all vibrations. I purchased these interlocking mats for similar reasons , i.e., not wanting to wake up my downstairs neighbor during my P90X3 workouts.

As trendmills go it is quiet. I have used it on a hardwood floor and carpet. I agree a mat or small throw rug would be beneficial. But I run a speaker wire from the entertainment center to the jack on the trendmill which drowns out any sound from the mill itself. ;). I love this machine!

This is an excellent treadmill and I guess it will absorb motion/sound better than cheap ones, but I suspect it will depend more on your building than on the treadmill. I know you can buy mats to put under them but I have horses and would suggest that you look into what is called a stall mat used for horses. They are much thicker and heavier than mats sold for treadmills and would probably cushion most of the noise. You could try the treadmill and if it is too noisy, then get a really good mat.

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.
