I live on the second floor, how noisy is the machine? Would it be bothersome to neighbors above and below?

The machine is very quiet and I seriously doubt your neighbors would hear you. They are more likely to hear you walking to the machine than using it. Hope this helps.

These Rowers are very quiet. Just put it on a pad and all you hear is the swishing of water and the rollers moving on the rails. It should not have any effect on the renters below you if the structure you live in is well constructed.

It is somewhat noisy and will be under foot. I usually set it to clean while I'm not home.

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's noisy. It vibrated a lot. I live in an apartment and I didn't want to disturb the neighbors. Now this thing lives in my closet.

Ours is not even in the house; it is about 1000 feet downhill; however, when it kicks on, it is fairly quiet. I think if it were in our basement or somewhere in our house, it would be difficult to hear. I certainly would not call it noisy....my old one was, however. This one is nearly silent in comparison.

Hi Sandee, We bought the machine for personal use, and only use it in a garage. It is definitely loud and would likely cause a disturbance in a salon.

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.

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.

Gosh, that is a hard question. It is as quiet and smooth as they come but honestly, everything makes some noise for the downstairs neighbors. It doesn't vibrate at all. We use it in our basement so maybe I am not the right person to answer, but I think you will be OK. Don't get anything but a Fluid trainer. Everything else vibrates and makes loads of noise.

It is still fairly loud. The lower setting isn't too loud but if you really want to move things, you'll probably need it on the higher setting and it's noticeably louder.

I don't think it's particularly loud but you might. It's located in our basement. I can hear it when it runs but it's not like it disturbs us or we can't talk over it if u know what I mean. Let me put it this way: the washing machine is way louder. I expect it to get a work out this week with all the snow melt. Glad to have it. Worked like a champ last spring. Good luck.

Wouldn't recommend it for a 2nd floor especially if you've got knobbies; it'll drive any downstairs neighbors crazy.

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's pretty quiet and will not bother neighbors, unless they live 5 or 6 feet away. There is a low noise but it is not bad at all.

Its not too noisy at all. I was living on the second floor in my building. No complaints from the neighbors.

Not annoying at all. It is not silent by any means. Just put the blower away from where you will be sitting and it should be alright. I have used mine several times indoors.

It is not terribly noisy - if you are going to use it on tile, you might consider putting a rug or rubber mat under it to minimize sound transferred through hard flooring surfaces. I would not think noise would be a problem
