What kind of noise does the treadmill？
Generally, customers will pay attention to several aspects before buying a treadmill: the most common problems of the treadmill, the noise of the treadmill, and the motor of the treadmill.
Whether the treadmill will generate noise downstairs is one of the larger problems, because it directly affects the lives of the neighbors downstairs. If you buy a treadmill, the first thing you can think of is whether the noise will affect the neighbors. , then you must be a person of high quality.
Let’s not talk nonsense. Today, the editor will tell you whether the treadmill will make noise downstairs from the treadmill itself and its specific use.
Sources of noise from the treadmill itself (idling)
The first thing to be clear is that any treadmill will produce noise, even a treadmill that advertises “0” noise has sound. However, even if there is noise during idling, it will have little impact on the downstairs, and it will only have an impact when there is a large vibration.
The noise of a home treadmill mainly comes from the friction sound of the running belt and the running board, followed by the sound of the motor running. In the case of low idling speed, the sound of ordinary treadmills is very small, but the sound will become louder as the speed increases.
In addition to the sound of friction between the running belt and the running board and the sound of the motor, there is also a “dong dong” sound of the running belt seam passing the roller, because it takes time for the running belt seam to pass the roller when the speed is low and slow. It may take several seconds to turn around, and the sound of thumping is not too obvious. But after the speed increases, the speed of the seam passing the drum may reach more than two times per second or faster, and the sound becomes obvious at this time.
The seams of the running belt are thicker than other parts of the running belt, so this kind of noise is unavoidable. This is the case for all brands of treadmills. Maybe the seams of better brand treadmills are thicker than other parts of the running belt. Similarly, it will be slightly “silent”.
Therefore, the noise of the treadmill itself is three aspects: motor noise, running belt friction noise, and the sound of the roller.
Under what circumstances will there be noise downstairs (passengers)
The sound when idling will not affect the downstairs, only when people go up and run, the noise will become louder and affect the neighbors downstairs. So under what circumstances will it affect the downstairs?
1. When the speed is too fast, the impact force of the human body on the running board is more than 4 times the weight of the runner. That is to say, when a person weighing 60 kg hits the running board with a weight of at least 480 patties, the impact vibration will As the running board is transmitted to the treadmill frame and the ground if the material of the shock-absorbing wheel of the treadmill is too hard, the vibration will be transmitted downstairs.
2. When fat people run on a treadmill, people with a weight of 80-100 kg or more can be called “fat people”, because the weight of these people will easily generate the above-mentioned noise and transmit it when using a treadmill. to downstairs.
3. The running posture is not correct. If the running posture is correct, the impact sound will be very small. If the posture is wrong, there will be an impact sound even at a low speed. Generally, when you first start using the treadmill, there will be incorrect posture causing the treadmill to run. thump thump.
What kind of noise does downstairs make when using the treadmill?
It is very distressing to run to make noise downstairs. The reason is that I want to run for fitness but have to give up the use of the treadmill because of the noise affecting the downstairs. It is very helpless. Because once the sound of the treadmill reaches the downstairs, the sound is very uncomfortable. The originally quiet space will make people anxious.
If it happens that there are elderly people downstairs, it may have a great impact on the health of the elderly. Therefore, if you use the treadmill well, you can exercise your body well, but if you don’t use it well, it will affect your relationship with your neighbors.
How to keep the treadmill from making noise downstairs
1. Those who are overweight (80-100KG) are best to walk fast instead of running, so as to avoid the impact sound from being transmitted downstairs.
2. The speed should not be too fast. If the treadmill is used as a daily fitness tool, it is good. If it is used as professional training equipment, it may not be appropriate to use it at home. If the speed is fast, the noise will be unavoidable.
3. At present, most of the treadmills on the market are ordinary flat treadmills. This kind of treadmill has poor shock absorption and noise reduction ability. If the household treadmill is this kind of treadmill, you can place a rubber pad on the treadmill to use Eliminate part of the vibration transmitted downstairs.
4. Use a new generation of bow treadmills with better elasticity. The bow treadmill running board itself can relieve the vibration caused by the impact, and the running board is a flexible link, which can eliminate most of the noise source of the treadmill itself. vibration and noise, and the landing wheel is made of honeycomb silicone material, this kind of treadmill can achieve better results than rubber pads without rubber pads.
5. Regular maintenance of the treadmill, such as lubricating the running belt of the treadmill in time can reduce the friction between the running belt and the running board so that the noise will be much smaller when using the treadmill.
