Default Combi-Boiler in a bedroom?

If this is a possible location forced by planning regulations on a
listed building is it likely to cause "sound pollution" problems for
anyone sleeping in the same room (even if behind cupboard doors?) or
isn't it really anything to be concerned about?

Cheers

Never been a problem for me. Combi (W-B 24i) in a wardrobe with slated
doors.
1. it is not noisy (but remember I am in C. London so it has to compete
with traffic etc)
2. It has to be very cold to keep the heating on overnight so in
practice not likely to notice.

Guess I'm used to ours coming on at 04:00 to get UFH zones closer to
normal levels. That wouldn't be a problem for us as it's all radiators
in the new install.

I see what you mean.
Like the radiator in bathroom.

Most would have the heating come on before they wake up.

Well I can hear my neighbours through the wall from its downstairs mounting
in my bedroom, more of a deep rumble and some gurgling and whirring noises
from time to time. I suppose one would get used to it. Probably depends on
how its mounted to the wall what sort of wall it is and whether the cupboard
can be soundproofed sufficiently, and of course not all boilers are going to
be the same sound wise.

You might also do some checks on noise level between makes. My Viessmann
is pretty quiet, compared to its predecessor. There may well be others
which are better.

Indeed, my previous Ideal Mexico made quite a racket kettling, sloshing,
clunking etc, even though it had no fanned flue or internal pump. The
Vaillant system boiler that replaces is is far quieter.
