- Why is there a rhythmic knocking sound coming from the treadmill?

- Friction is generated between the belt and the board below it, thus causing the sound. However, as the belt is more worn in, the sound will fade softer as well.
- Why is there dust at the back of the treadmill after usage?
- This is usually caused by the friction between the belt and your shoe
- Why is there a slanted line in the middle of the belt?
- This is the belt joint, in which a single straight piece of belt is pressed together at the end to form a circular shape
