Noise- yes there's some with every Turbo, & the bike makes a noise too- the wind rush noise from the spokes as well as some noise form the chainset whizzing round- & of course there's the wheezing from the rider too
Some of the noise can be dampened down by having a lump of carpet under the Turbo, some Turbo's are quieter than others - I use a rim drive one as it suits me fine as I can use it for clinchers and tubs. Tubs on a normal Turbo burn out quite spectacularly with rubber flying off everywhere.
