Thanks for the advice on the fan. How quiet are those window fans? My
old one (was really old, too--when I took it apart to try to fix it the
insulation on the wires just fell to pieces!) positively roared--and
vibrated the attic floor, too.

Most are fairly quiet but there will be some noise. Keep in mind, the fan
does not have to be in the same room as you. Proper window management can
get a good draft drawing the cool outside air in from the other end of the
house.
