At first glance, no, but after checking the calculations, it might just sneak into the acceptable resonant frequency range. It’s a great question to ask, though, essential if you love your vinyl and don’t know the answer, and an important lesson in the need for both calculations and real measurement. I’ll tell you what, though,

Absolutely not, a good and properly running turntable should make virtually zero mechanical noise. This question came from a customer who’d just spent a small fortune (around 20K) on a very expensive new Luxman turntable and has been through three of them trying to find an acceptably quiet one. Can you believe that? No, neither

Use a good online calculator! Calculating tonearm resonant frequency with a particular cartridge and headshell combination is one of the most fundamental aspects of cartridge-tonearm matching. This is done simply with maths, and the easiest way to make the calculations is via one of the great websites offering online calculators. My favourite is this tonearm

Absolutely, this is one of my favourite topics to assist people with. Keep in mind that cartridge/tonearm/step-up transformer matching is also a technical topic, with no one-size-fits-all answers. I will need to know exactly what equipment you are using, your budget and what you are hoping to achieve. An advisory consultation is the perfect way
