Default New Prairie 700 Noisy?

Just purchased a new Prairie 700. Love the bike but wondering if that belt is always this noisy! Real whiny! Does it get better or is that just normal so get used to it? I had a Rincon before this and it was very quiet but couldnt touch the performance of this prairie.

Prairies are noisy. Belt and gears noise may get a little better, but not much. You will get used to it.

You are the only one that will hear it, your riding buddies could possibly get close enough to hear it, unless they are on a Prairie!
