Based on what? I'm going to have to see some info to support that, many
higher efficiency units have variable speed blowers that ramp to speed,
reducing blower noise etc. Just don't install a Lennox Pulse if you're
concerned with noise, we're not talking Atta-Boy's here! ;-)

Based on surmise. You are just considering loudness. I
would expect the more efficient furnaces to run the blower
more of the time, especially if they use multiple blower
speeds. Just because the blower doesn't run at full speed
doesn't mean the blower noise isn't irritating and that
could be considered more noise, or noise more of the time.
I prefer a house to be dead quiet but it seledom is due to
the computer and refrigerator, let alone the furnace.

THen you definately don't want a Goodman either
