You're right, I forgot about the noise. I have my tread mill in the basement.

Also, a tread mill is heavy, so it would be hard to move around. A bike would be the best option for you then. As far as what type - you should go work out on each type at a gym or somewhere like the YMCA and see which one you like the best. As you can see from the opinions here, some people like uprights - some like recumbant. They both give you a good workout, so I don't think you can go wrong with either type.
