Best Quiet Treadmill of 2024 – Our Experts’ Top Picks
Here’s our list of top picks for the quietest treadmills of 2024. No matter your situation, there’s a treadmill on this list for everyone!
Sole F85 Treadmill
What We Like:
- Powerful and silent 4.0 HP motor
- Smooth and quiet incline adjustments
- Connect Bluetooth headphones
- Large 22” x 60” running surface
- Preloaded apps like Netflix
- Easy to fold and move
- Wireless charging
Areas For Improvement:
- Slow incline and speed adjustments
- Firmer than most running surface
The F85 has a solid steel frame and an impressive 375-lb weight capacity, making it an excellent machine for a wide variety of people and multi-use households. This treadmill is great for anyone looking to get in extra steps, someone training for a marathon, and everyone in between. You also get plenty of speed, with a max of 12 mph, six levels of decline, and 15 levels of incline.
Did I mention the apps? Sole is one of the few brands offering free training content in the Sole+ app and preloaded apps like Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and more! If you already have an account, you can use all of the entertainment apps on the 15″ touchscreen. Do keep in mind that the screen on the F85 is pretty average, but it gets the job done.
Most of this treadmill’s noise will be your foot noise or the treadmill belt as you run at higher speeds. This quiet treadmill should fit well in most places in your home! It’s one of our favorite treadmills and frequently stays in our rotation here at TRG.

NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Treadmill
What We Like:
- Powerful, quick-to-adjust motor
- 16” pivoting touchscreen with iFIT
- Netflix and other 3rd-part app streaming with iFIT
- Comfortable deck cushioning
- Foldable deck
- Made for heavy training
- Automatic speed, incline, and decline adjustments
Areas For Improvement:
- The screen might be a little low for taller users
- Less screen functionality without an iFIT subscription
The NordicTrack 1750 is a popular treadmill from NordicTrack. We think it is a great blend of features, quality, and price. It has the same 4.25 CHP motor as more premium models from NordicTrack, so it handles heavy training like distance running. Plus, it is quiet so as not to be disruptive.
Along with the motor being powerful and quiet, it is quick to adjust. In fact, the 1750 is now one of the fastest to adjust treadmills, making it ideal for interval training. We never have to wait for the motor to adjust from high and low speeds and inclines.
The deck cushioning also sets this quiet treadmill apart. It feels soft and shock-absorbing without feeling overly bouncy. If you have joint sensitivity while running or looking for a softer treadmill for recovery runs, this one is a great foldable option.
The 1750 is also fun to use. When you subscribe to iFIT, you get full access to all of the touchscreen features, including thousands of trainer-led workout videos, streaming apps like Netflix, and the ability to create your own workouts. iFIT is one of the most popular training subscriptions, and we highly recommend subscribing to use with the 1750.
The NordicTrack 1750 is one of our favorite treadmills. We love everything you can do on it, how entertaining it is, and how quiet it is to run on.

Horizon 7.0 AT Treadmill
What We Like:
- Affordable and well-constructed
- Quiet 3.0 HP motor
- No subscription required
- 60” long running surface
- Easily folds to save space
- Soft cushioning to absorb sound
Areas For Improvement:
- Not great for long distance
- Weak speakers and fan
Not only is the drive motor quiet and capable of reaching 12 mph, but you can barely hear the incline motor moving the deck. So, you can reach a 15% incline without disrupting others around you. You might need to peek at the deck when it adjusts because it’s that quiet!
The 7.0 AT adjusts the speed and incline quickly, making it a good pick for HIIT training. We love the blue adjustment rollers that keep adjusting the treadmill right under your thumbs. The Horizon 7.0 AT will also fit well in most homes because it has a 20” wide by 60” long deck that folds. This length is great for most running strides yet compact enough to take up less space.
Even though this is a budget treadmill, Horizon backs it with an impressive lifetime frame and motor warranty, so you’ll save and get a well-constructed treadmill.

Sole F80 Treadmill
What We Like:
- Strong silent motor
- EasyAssist folding
- Wide 22” x 60” treadmill belt
- 350 lbs user weight capacity
- Built-in Bluetooth speakers
- 15 levels of incline
- Excellent warranty coverage
Areas For Improvement:
- The screen feels slightly small
- Slow speed and incline changes
- Firm running surface
A hallmark of Sole treadmills is their construction, which helps to reduce the sound produced by the F80. As Sole treadmills are welded together, there are fewer parts that need connecting with bolts. With fewer bolted sections, the F80 is able to stay quieter and not vibrate noisy bits of metal.
Along with the solid frame, the F80 has a solid 3.5 HP motor under the hood. While some of the budget Sole models can acquire a whine when running at higher speeds, the F80’s powerful motor runs evenly without any annoying sounds breaking into the hum of the running motor.
Like the rest of these sound-dampening treadmill features, the F80 also has Cushion Flex Whisper Deck cushioning, bringing quietness and cushioning to your home. While it is not as soft as treadmills from NordicTrack or ProForm, the cushioning on the Sole F80 can reduce the impact your body takes up to 40%, according to Sole.
There is also no extra noise when you change speed or incline on the F80, which is excellent since you have an incline range of 0-15 levels and a speed range of 0.5 to 12 MPH. However, keep in mind that these speed and incline adjustments can be pretty slow. But if you’re not HIIT training, you’ll be just fine.

NordicTrack X22i Incline Treadmill
What We Like:
- Reflex Cushioning absorbs much of the impact noise
- The belt and motor are very quiet
- Syncs with Bluetooth headphones
- Impressive 22” touchscreen
- Large 22” x 60” running belt
- 40% incline, -6% decline
Areas For Improvement:
- Very large footprint, heavy
- Doesn’t fold up – requires a dedicated space
Incline trainers lift higher than standard treadmills, so the x22i inclines to a 40% grade and declines to a -6%. Incline training is more challenging and allows users to run or walk on an incline for a higher calorie burn with more posterior engagement. We love that the incline training feature will enable users to stay low-impact.
I love the 22” touchscreen on the x22i! NordicTrack’s subscription program, iFit, is included free for the first month, so you can try it out without having to pay. iFit has over 16,000 classes, both indoor and outdoor, with routes all over the world. Since the x22i has extended cushioning in the deck, it gently descends with each step.
The NordicTrack x22i does not fold, so it has a firmer frame and is heavier than a folding treadmill. This increases stability and reduces noise output. However, this machine is large and doesn’t fold up — so if size is also a consideration, look at the folding treadmills on our list.

AssaultRunner Pro Treadmill
What We Like:
- Self-powered, no max speed
- Built for heavy use
- 350 lb weight capacity
- 62” long running surface
- Sturdy yet transportable.
- Requires little to no maintenance
Areas For Improvement:
- Large, takes up quite a bit of space
- No cup holders
The AssaultRunner Pro is a curved slat belt treadmill that requires no electricity, meaning no motor noise. Most of the noise on this machine comes from the slat belt as it moves across the deck. You’ll also hear some foot noise, but the rubber slats dampen your foot noise as you walk and run.
Since the Runner Pro is a manual treadmill, you control the pace. You can go as slow or fast as you want because there are no speed limitations. Unlimited speed is one of the reasons we love this treadmill: You are entirely in control of the machine. Remember that there is a slight learning curve when using this machine, which could take 1-2 sessions to get used to.
The Pro has an impressive 350-lb user weight capacity, so it’s great for a wide variety of users. The belt has a 150,000-mile guarantee, which is very impressive and something we love to see: brands standing behind their products.
The Pro features a battery-powered console on the Pro that displays your metrics and comes with a few pre-loaded workout programs. If there is anything lacking on the Pro it’s the storage. There is a small spot to place a phone on the console but nowhere for a water bottle or anything else. There’s not much we don’t love about the AssaultRunner Pro which makes it a great pick!

Peloton Tread
What We Like
- Fun and motivating workouts
- Low motor noise
- 12.5 mph max speed
- 12.5% incline range
- 23.8” touch screen
- motor adjusts quickly and quietly
Areas For Improvement:
- Non-folding treadmill
- Limited functionality without a subscription
- Screen shakes at higher speeds
We’ve been testing the Peloton Tread at TRG for over two years. The Tread offers engaging studio classes on its impressive 23.8-inch touchscreen right in the comfort of your home. It also has a quiet motor and belt for keeping those workouts quiet.
The Tread doesn’t fold up, so it takes up some floor space. It also has a unique z-shaped design, which has been influential on the treadmill industry, as many other brands have updated their treadmills with a similar-looking design. There’s also no motor hood on the Tread, so you can fully use the belt to lengthen your strides.
We also really appreciate that Peloton has incorporated third-party apps such as Netflix and YouTubeTV into the console. It allows users a little bit more freedom over content while they’re working out. Another nice feature is the option to connect Bluetooth headphones, keeping your workout very quiet.
Although the Tread seems like a great machine, it does come with a hefty price tag, right under $3,000, plus a $44/month membership on top of that. If you don’t pay for the subscription, you can still use the treadmill, you are just very limited in what you’re able to do. The screen also shakes quite a bit more than we’d like while running.
Overall, this is a solid treadmill, especially if you already have a Peloton bike or rower and pay for the subscription.

Horizon T101 Treadmill
What We Like:
- Affordable pricing
- Decent-sized motor
- Max user weight of 300 lbs
- Folds easily
- Good warranty coverage
- Bluetooth speakers
Areas For Improvement:
- Not meant for serious runners
- Low-tech console
Powering your workout, you have a 2.5 CHP motor that runs quietly. This compact motor is strong enough to take you smoothly through the different incline levels, ranging from 0% to 10%. You have a lot of variety when it comes to speed on the T101, as it can go up to 10 MPH, all without making much noise.
This treadmill also comes with cushioning, which helps protect your joints and dampen noise. As with all Horizon treadmills, the T101 treadmill comes with 3-Zone Variable Response cushioning. With this cushioning, there are three different zones of cushioning that are designed to provide the right amount of cushioning and rigidity depending where in your stride you strike the deck.
Funny enough, the fan on the T101 can be a bit louder than the motor, especially if you are walking. However, the fan noise isn’t enough to disturb anyone. And when you aren’t worried about your treadmill noise levels, you can use Bluetooth speakers.
The T101’s default button sound is pretty loud. So make sure to turn it down before you start your workout so you don’t disturb anyone with this extra noise

Sole F63 Treadmill
What We Like:
- Quiet belt and motor
- Lifetime warranty on frame and motor
- Incline and decline are practically silent
- Easily folds and moves
- 325 lb weight capacity
Areas For Improvement:
- Foot noise is a bit more noticeable on this treadmill, but not much
- The fan is very weak
Sole treadmills are consistently impressive, with low noise output and quality build. We like the Sole F63 and know it will be a great option for those with limited space. It’s also an excellent choice for people who still want something durable with a simple console that doesn’t require a subscription.
The Sole F63 has an impressively quiet belt and motor. There is a bit more foot noise on this machine, which raises the decibels just a bit, but you won’t hear clunky thudding or rough motor noise on this machine.
The console on the Sole F63 is simpler than on other models. There is no touchscreen, and the programs don’t have any music background, so you won’t generate any superficial noise from the program itself on the F63. The buttons make a quick beep when you tap them, but otherwise, there’s no noise on this machine unless you decide to play your music through the treadmill speakers.

What To Consider When Buying A Quiet Treadmill
If you’re looking for the quietest treadmill for your home gym, consider a few things before making the purchase.
Motor
Consider whether you want a motorized or non-motorized treadmill. Each has its pros and cons. Some traditional treadmills have nearly silent motors that hardly make a sound, while others can be loud and whiney. Motorless treadmills are user-powered and typically noisier because of the rubber slats and how the belt moves.
Cushioning
Cushioning can dampen the foot noise on a treadmill and make your workout more comfortable. Treadmills with thin running decks and no padding can often be louder and amplify foot noise.
Bluetooth Connectivity
Most treadmills now have touchscreens with added workouts or access to Netflix. Finding a treadmill that can connect with Bluetooth headphones can be a make or break for a quiet workout.
Stability
Finding a treadmill with high-quality construction can severely impact your treadmill experience. If you pick a treadmill with a solid frame, uprights, and stabilizers, it will mitigate any shaking, rattling, and accompanying sounds.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to fix a noisy treadmill?
If your treadmill is making noise, it could mean that something is wrong with it. Check to see if the belt is lubricated, free of debris, and properly tightened. You should also ensure all the bolts are tight and the motor is clean. Also, make sure it is level by placing it on an even floor and adjusting the leveling feet so it’s anchored to the ground.
We also highly suggest placing a rubber treadmill mat under your treadmill to help with noise and keep it in place. Without a mat on hard floors, a treadmill can make more noise, and without a mat on the carpet, fabric fibers can get into the motor. You can also use anti-vibration pads under your treadmill to cut down on noise output.
Is it ok to put a treadmill on the second floor?
Considering most treadmills weigh just a few hundred pounds, you should have no problem using one on the second floor of your home. However, the noise from your treadmill might affect those below you, so it’s important to consult with others who might be affected before placing your treadmill on the second floor.
Which treadmill is the quietest?
The Sole F85, NordicTrack X22i, and Sole F80 are some of the quietest treadmills for your home. However, remember that no treadmill is completely silent.
Are treadmills quiet enough for apartments?
Depending on your lease agreement, your landlord might not allow you to use a treadmill in your apartment. We recommend getting a quiet treadmill, using a rubber mat underneath it, and consulting your neighbors. There are quiet treadmills, like the ones on this list, but they do make some noise. If you aren’t on the first floor, the noise will be amplified for neighbors below you.
