Cheap Treadmills

How to make a treadmill make no noise or vibrations on the second floor?

I have a somewhat cheaper treadmill that runs manually as opposed to by a motor. I live on the second floor of an apartment building and the treadmill makes noise and vibrations that can be felt/heard from the people living below me. Is there any way I can 100% make the sound/vibrations go away? It needs to be pretty much 100% since the people living below me won't be content with even a little bit of sound/vibration.

1. Wow! Do they permit breathing? This sounds bad. People cannot really live without making a little bit of noise. To reduce noises from the machine itself, check to see if the machine has adequate lubrication in any places that should have it (see owner's manual). For vibrations due to the contact between the treadmill and the floor, try getting a thick rubber pad, or maybe a few and set the treadmill on top of these to keep the floor from vibrating from the treadmill motions.
