Why would your neighbors complain.? Water-cooled spindles are very very quiet, probably quieter than your current spindle.!!

If you buy from China you will get a spindle with a proper BT30 or 40 taper or better still HSK rather than an ancient MT. Depending on how deep your pockets are with ATC as well.
