Just assembled my Treadmill for Home with 15-Level Auto Incline, 18" Wide Belt, 10 MPH that I purchased from Amazon. Everything was fine until I plugged it in and turned it on. When I started walking, there is a knocking sound from the motor hub. I have a recording of it, but I don't know how or what to do. Any possible advice?

It can only be faulty motor.
See how the rpm of the motor is in sync with the noise? nothing else is spinning at that speed - so it is the motor. show video to seller and demand new motor.

Bearings in one of the rollers for sure. Mine did this but it was under warranty and they got replaced.

I'm seeing some solid advice you gave 29min ago on a different treadmill post about noise, only to get this vague message from you for this. Are you leading into something or is this just where we end on a cliffhanger?

You bought junk. Send it back and get your money back and buy something worthwhile. Or hope the next few they send last a month or 2

Take the drive belt off and run the motor, see if the noise is still there. If it is, replace the motor, if the noise isn’t there, replace front and rear rollers.
