Rebounder/Trampoline in upstairs apartment?

I was interested in getting a rebounder/trampoline, but I have a few concerns:

1. I live in an upstairs apartment and wanted to know if there was any problem with noise. I know it involves jumping, but I am not sure of the overall noise problem because I would not be jumping directly on the floor.

2. How much space does it take up? My apartment is a decent size, but where I work out is kind of small since it's in front of the only TV I have in the living room.

    Noise? Practically none of you keep the springs oiled so they don't squeak. Because you're on the trampoline jumping, the trampoline absorbs the impact. It's not like jumping on the floor at all. :)

    Depending on brand, it's about 3 feet across, but what I really liked about it is that I could tuck it upright against the wall behind the couch when I wasn't using it. I really liked mine until the cat decided that it was a toy and shredded it. :( bad kitty.

    Uh-oh... I have a cat! Hope she stays away from it! Thank you!

    Now, if I could only decide what brand to get...

    I think it would be a lot of noise. I get that the springs absorb a lot, but I still think it would be SUPER annoying to whoever lived downstairs. Try one in the store, maybe Dick's or something would have one you could try. I think the bouncing is goingto be a problem whether you're on a tramp on plain floor. Just my 2 cents having been a downstairs neighbor!
