We have a fluid trainer, and while I would by no means describe it as whisper quiet, I would not think twice about using it in close living quarters. The biggest risk is actually me turning the TV up loud enough to hear it over the trainer- I would think that would earn more complaints, but you could use earbuds under noise-blocking headphones, which my DH does. Not totally comfortable to me, but he has adapted well.

Got a Kurt Kinetic as well, and yes, the TV is usually much louder than the trainer!!
And don't forget to put a cheap tire on your back wheel, it is not a myth, tires do melt on a trainer! (I actually bought a "special" tire (around $20), it lasted 3/4 of the indoor season)
Seg.
