    Before I go buying a exspensive tack bushido turbo trainer I've wanted looking for some advice, renting a new shared accommodation apartment,
    Can anybody tell me would they think the noise of the trainer would be to loud and recommend not getting one,anyways to reduce sound, would vibrating annoy apartments below, or am I worrying over nothing?
    Just dont want to buy one and then not be able to use it as they are a lot of money

    I have a Cyclops Fluid 2 in my apartment. Just bought it this year & used it 5 or 6 times and the noise levels are fine - no complaints from the neighbours.

    Did a bit of research beforehand, but it was hard to tell from youtube clips what was the quietest turbo & I just bit the bullet in the end.

    If you're that worried just say it to them that you're buying a turbo to train indoors on. They won't say anything- turbos aren't loud anyway so there's nothing to worry about.

    As for neighbours below, they'll be fine. Vibrations won't be that bad to disturb them.

    You should be fine, however, I have not used the particular model you're talking about.

    Sometimes, you can get a bit of feedback or some resonanant frequencies when you are in a big gear with a nice cadence that can cause a bit of vibration.

    If that becomes an issue, you can always go to the store and buy a few of those rubber mats they put down on gym floors.

    Again though, I doubt it will be any trouble.
