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.

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.

Yes it will be safe. Technically, he is only 100 lbs more than the average guy. If you have a 200 lb treadmill with a 200 lb guy running on it, your husband would only represent a 25% increase. Furthermore, the 200 lb guy will probably be running harder than your husband and pounding the treads with close to the same force as a heavier person running at a lighter pace. If you really concerned about it, position the treadmill perpendicular to the direction of the floor joists instead of parallel so that it crosses more joists and spreads the weight more
