On the subject of noisy fans, if you're thinking of using one the fans
with a counter current heat exchanger[1] with outside air (the Ventaxia
model at least) go for the six inch one, rather than the four inch one.
It is significantly quieter.

I took out the 4 " and replaced with a 6"Â* and the idea was to replace
the 4" piping with 6"Â* only to find out that where it went in to the
loft I had about 2 feet headroom and would have been eating insulation,
as for where it exits I dont know. So I got a 4" to 6" pipe adaptor and
used that.
Even in my younger days I would have struggled with the access.

One way to reduce the noise quite a bit is with a ducted fan rather than
a surface mount one. That way the motor noise etc is out of the room.
