Is the belt that much quieter than the chain? Does it feel the same as a road bike?

Much quieter,,,in the next room I can't even hear someone pedaling on it. Had it only for a few months.

It is more quiet. I often watch movies or listen to music while working out and I don't feel interrupted by the sound of the bike. I love it and I use it almost daily- I really recommend it!

Yes, it is noticeable. 1 easy, 6 hard, but you have to pedal with the outer chainring.

The bike is very smooth and quiet. I would give this product 4.5 out of 5 stars.

I don't watch tv when I'm on the bike, but I don't find it to be very noisy. It's a great bike for the money.

It is just my husband and I using it at home, so I was not sure I could justify the extra money. We are both extremely happy with this bike, although it does seem that the chain slaps a bit, but that may be an adjustment we can make somewhere. Since I cannot compare it to a bike with the Carbon Blue Belt Drive system because I don't have access to one, I believe the chain drive to be a completely acceptable choice.

it isnt noisy or squeaky. i've had it since April and it's the same now as it was then. i'm only walking on it though, so running might make a difference. as for the incline, i never go above level 2. never measured it.

Its not bad. Much quieter than the Cuisinart that we bought this to replace. Electric motors are nearly noiseless. The noise comes from the gears that step down the speed of the motor. The big powerful blenders from Blendtech and Vitamix don't have to step down the speed as much. I'm guessing they are quieter. Even still, this isn't offensive..

I have experienced no noise with this stroller. It's really heavy duty, and I've used it off-road.

It is very quiet. Even at high speed. I owned a bike stand as well and it is not as noisy as those.

Not as noisy as the car, but sounds like plastic wheels on pavement. Also, if their feet are on the pedals, it makes a clicking sound if they aren't pedaling. None of this detracts from our enjoyment of the bike.

I tried the bike out before I gave it to my daughter. I think the gears are a bit hard to change. I thought it may have just been from my weight being on the bike. My daughter has never complained though.

Hardly noisy at all. It makes a soft "whirring" sound as the wheel spins and you turn the pedals. It's not loud enough to be distracting or drown out any other sound, so you can easily listen to music, watch TV/videos, or have a conversation at a normal speaking level while riding the bike. We have it sitting on an equipment mat (on hardwood) in an open loft area outside our master bedroom, and when the bedroom door is closed, you can't hear the bike at all. My husband and I are avid cyclists, and compared to our road bikes (which are not loud by any means), this stationary/spin bike is whisper-quiet. Hardly noisy at all.

It is pretty reasonable. Unless you actually get on the gas they are pretty quiet. No baffling material inside, but there is a back-pressure piece. Love them, did not have the fuel injection reprogrammed and the bike runs great. Get lots of complements of the looks. Happy with them. Good Luck!

Yes it comfortable the only problem I have with the bike is that it squeaks. Also,i have to steer the handle in the opposite direction for it to move or turn. It's very annoying.
