GENERAL
COMMON TREADMILL QUESTIONS
Q: Are the sounds my Treadmill makes normal?
A: All Treadmills make a certain type of thumping noise due to the belt
riding over the rollers. This noise will diminish over time, although it might
not totally go away. With use, the belt will stretch, causing the belt to ride
more smoothly over the rollers. It might appear that one Treadmill is
louder than another. There are many reasons for this and may not be due
to a defect.
Q: Why is the Treadmill I had delivered louder than the one at the store?
A: All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because
there is generally more background noise than in your home. This is due
to many acoustic differences. A number of precautions can be taken to
reduce noise. For instance, a heavy rubber mat can help reduce
reverberation through the floor. And, finally, if a fitness product is placed
close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.
Q: When should I be worried about a noise?
A: As long as the sounds your Treadmill makes are no louder than a
normal conversational tone of voice, it is considered normal noise. If your
Treadmill is louder than this, you may want to call your service technician.
Sometimes an initial diagnosis can be made over the phone.
