    Not used that one, but fluid and magnetic ones tend to be quietest. Relatively speaking,

    A turbo tyre and a mat underneath it may help too, but it is pretty noisy anyway.

    Its not so much vibration, but just the whirr of the flywheel is so damn loud one mine - a Taxc Satori.

    You should have the old ones with a turbo fan...if I use mine, it's in the garage, with the radio turned right up !

    I got rollers, they are very quiet and give you the added interest of having to balance, I don't get my heart reate too high on it but it sure makes me sweat.

    Like a streak of lightnin' flashin' cross the sky,
    Like the swiftest arrow whizzin' from a bow,
    Like a mighty cannonball he seems to fly.
    You'll hear about him ever'where you go.
