  • Page 39 ARETHE SOUNDS M YELLIPTICAL MAKES NORMAL? Our ellipticals are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic resistance. Weuse the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our ellipticals.
