Recommend methods to reduce the noise the p1s makes. I currently have 3 of these in a spare bedroom with my neighbours bedroom being on the other side of the wall which he is not too happy with.
 
I use a paving slab on top of a foam mat on top of some foam underlay for both my P1S and Core One. Really reduces the noise that resonates through desk tops, wooden shelves etc.

Highly recommend concrete slab - also check out either the BL vibration feet you can buy off their site or Makerworld to print your own from tpu!

The combination makes a big difference!
 
Heavy base (slab, as mentioned), reduce the speed, regular calibration, tell the neighbour to get a grip. In that order.
 
I've got 2 different types of foam floor mat under my printer, cos that's what I had to hand, it does help, also run the printer in 'quiet' mode if I need to.

lol I just got mine earlier and it really is noisy! At work where we also have one it can't be noticed but at my place, boy I need to do something!
 
I found it fits perfectly on a concrete paving slab from B&Q which you can pick up for £11

having a foam pad between the slab and the floor helps apparently

I used rubber walking stick ferrules as feet for my Prusa and not bothered for my two Bambu’s, and I’ve not noticed much of a difference noise / vibration wise, especially as the bambu’s print much quicker under normal conditions. When it’s calibrating it sounds like a jet engine lol

iirc the bambu's use input shaping so should be able to account for vibrations during calibration.
 
every printer vibrates .. the faster you print the more it does..
input shaper is supposed to help with print quality not shaking printer less :)
