    Acceptable noise/vibration is a very subjective thing. :)

    I just got one and as long as it's aligned correctly it's virtually silent.

    It will make noise and vibrate if not set up correctly, but if you follow the directions the noise should be minimal. Of course it is an electric motor so it will make some noise/vibration but as mentioned, if installed correctly, it should be very minimal at most.
