I’d like to start excercisng before work because it works better for me but I’m worried about waking up my downstairs neighbors. If I live in an apartment with carpeting would my downstairs neighbors be disturbed by an exercise bike? I’ve only used it at night before.

Talk to your downstairs neighbors and, if it annoys them, be a good neighbor and stop. You should all be able to figure out and time when it's convenient for you and they won't be disturbed.
