For the Hydrow and the Concept 2 you were in a confined space with a wall to your left. In those cases your measurements include sound that reverberated off the wall. You used the WaterRower in an open area so the reverberation is minimal. I wonder how much of a difference that makes.
@andyg99914 жыл бұрын
It will make a huge difference, although the C2 on carpet will reduce the effect somewhat. While I appreciate the effort, this vid is a very general guide at best as each rower was tested in different conditions. For it to be valid test, each rower would need to be tested under identical conditions
@burritoplex84022 жыл бұрын
In theory placing the rower against a wall would add 6db because you're going from half space (2pi) to quarter space (1pi) radiation. That assumes the noise source is precisely in the corner, which it is not. Because of the proximity of the walls and ceiling I would guess the error is at least 6db. That said, this is still a nice video and a good channel.

Interesting to me was not just the decibel level for each, but the frequency levels. The hydrow and concept 2 had a more penetrating pitch that the water row. The display on your phone actually showed the water row had noticeably flatter pitch than the other two models. I think that would make the water row more family friendly if using it in adjoining rooms of home.
@trainingtall3 жыл бұрын

@Woot-Zee3 жыл бұрын
What do you mean by "penetrating sound"? The lower frequencies are more penetrating than higher frequency. From what I see, C2 has the highest frequency. Which is not going to penetrate brick or concrete as easily as lower frequency. TBH, I think that if you decouple it from the ground and have a little bit of fabrics in the room the sound is reduced quite a bit. www.technature.ca/acoustics-101/sound-absorption-coefficients/

I use the concept 2 in an apartment. I can't see the air sound going through the walls unless your walls are super thin(more low end bass and vibration make it through walls) and it doesn't make much vibration, but I do have the contact points with the floor on 1" foam + yoga mat similar to your setup. I've had no complaints and I only use it for about 45 minutes between 6-9pm anyways so even if neighbors do hear it it's for a short time and waking no one up as it's in my living room. Even if neighbors could make out the sound I'd say it's not annoying or offensive and kind of like a white noise machine so I think they'd tolerate it. Having said all that I wouldn't hesitate buying one for an apartment if you have the room for it.

I know I'm a year late viewing this video, but I wanted to leave a comment that might help someone deciding which machine to buy. I'm a professional sound engineer, and a new Concept 2 owner. And I love your channel and 'concepts' and training tips for rowing. The test is very good except for one thing that strongly influences the percieved sound level and that is proximity to walls and closed spaces. It appears two of your machines are in the same space and would seems to exhibit a fair comparison. The water rower being out in a large gym type space would have less proximity loudness even though the DB meter is the same distance. But the real thing that surprised me the most is the actual sound of the C2 in your environment. Mine doesn't sound anything like that and is almost whisper quiet. But I do have it in a larger room with curtains, which will dampen sound as well. Even at Max Effort it's not close to that kind of washy almost watery sound. It's a clean wind sound that is not very loud. I'm not it's better or worse, just pointing out that it is highly reliant on proximity to walls and what they are made of. I am going to do a DB test on my C2 because my curiosity has been peaked. Keep up the great channel!!

Frequency is important. The Hydrow creates most of its noise in the 1-3khz range where the ear is more sensitive. The water rower is very low frequency and lowest dB, making a very unobtrusive "noise" combination. But the ergonomics of the Water rower don't look right with the seat in the same plane as the foot pedals.
@MrOlfie694 жыл бұрын
Yes, agree. The howling from the Hydro is more intrusive then the windmill sound from the C2. Think if you stand in the neighbors room, you will hear the Hydro and not the C2. The lower frequency travels further. Living in a country where people like to pimp their cars with big exhausts. It is not the problem when they have high revs, but when they run stationary, the low frequency can travel much more further and is much more intrusive to the ear. C2 wins. If i do my workout upstairs (C2) , nobody downstairs is hearing me. Really, this noise topic on the C2 is a non issue. To much hyped on this moment.

Cool video thanks. Some notes around those sound profiles - taking the average dB is not what counts since that's not what our ears are going to do. We are especially sensitive to spikey noise - our brains can filter out noise with a consistent pitch and volume but intermittent spikes (like rowing) is hard to filter out.

Separating out the specific parts and tools for each of the seven step assembly process steps was brilliant on the part of the manufacturer. For the price, I am impressed at how sturdy this kzbin.infoUgkxvObaTzoHoHQLL4lHbJQmExHqsrZQm-f7 unit is and it does go together easily. Well, I was puzzled at first at Step 5 and maybe the instructions should mention that rail #62 needs to be tilted upwards a little to get the rail to fit into the main part #44. I like it that the rower can be stored vertically in a really small amount of space, but be forewarned that this rower is top heavy and for safety you'll need at least two bungee cords to keep the unit upright, attaching them to something; in my case to a third garage door. I have had this unit only a short time, and I will post an update once I've had it for a year. As for working your legs, I have to admit that I'm mainly rowing for upper body strength and I use other forms of exercise for leg strength (like walking fast, biking, or using a trampoline. But if you pull as far forward as possible, then you can give preference to your legs for the first 4 feet or so of travel. I also admit to not taking the two electronic connectors apart at Step 7. I simply inserted the two batteries while the other parts remained connected. By the way, there is plenty of resistance here, even in the lowest resistance settings. Kudos to Sunny Health & Fitness !

Too bad they can't put a muffler on these things.

So I'll need sound dampenning in either way. And no water rowers. Yeesh. My neighbors will drown me in a nearest puddle.

Your method of testing is wrong!

Hydrow sounds like dying robot, what an awful sound, I mean it looks like a damn Tesla but sounds rough

concept 2 loud

Very poorly executed comparison. Recording a sound source beside a wall in a confined space vs recording a sound source in a very open space. Test is null and void.

All very noisy...

WaterRower is definitely the quietest!

Training Tall thanks for your videos. They really help people understand the reality. I am a biginner and I was looking at Concept 2 as in many aspects represents the “gold standard”. The noise part killed my desire somehow 😀I might look for a cheaper and silent alternative and look back at one of these 3 in case rowing becomes a passion 😃

Karen came for the soothing sound of the waterrower but you just kept talking like someone getting an emergency call at the movie theater to find out all of their loved ones were onboard a downed commercial airliner that was hijacked by Karenationalist while en route from Karenstien. Thanks Karen.

Go find yourself a silent rowing channel that tells you nothing and imparts no information. Grow up.
