There are different types of noises that can be heard from a treadmill depending on the workload age and condition of the equipment Treadmills do have a lot of moving components creating operational noise but if you feel there is a noise over and above what is considered normal then diagnosing the cause of noises can be made easier by taking a simple step by step approach 1 What type of noise is it Is it a loud banging or knocking sound or does it sound more like something rattling due to vibration or something being loose Is it a constant rubbing sound where two things are in permanent contact or a clicking sound where there is a frequency to the contact What type of materials does it sound like are causing the noise metal wood or something synthetic 2 Attempt to understand the noise by trying to replicate it under different circumstances such as running jogging walking and even when the treadmill is stopped Does the noise volume or frequency increase when the walking belt goes faster Does it only occur when you pull or lean on the handrails foot rails or when the feet strike the deck etc Can you replicate it when the belt is stopped or just when the walking belt is moving 3 Attempt to isolate the location of the noise Is it at the front or back of the treadmill Is it isolated to the treadmill base or is it something in the upright masts or top of the console You can separate the upright masts from the base and still operate th
