I am super finicky about machine noise, to the point of underclocking my
PCs, and rebuilding my Tivo and xbox so I can run silent and fanless.

I can sleep with the ARB next to my head, no problem.  It doesn't come
on that often at night.  I also think because the compressor noise it
makes is real low frequency it doesn't bug me as much.  Also, it's
fridge noise -- we've learned to tune that out I guess after decades of
exposure.

I just had my first experience with the dometic fan while running on
propane.  Yikes! That is heckish.  What a relief when that thing
stopped.

The taller one is 53 pounds, costs $650, and the word 'quiet' appears
nowhere on that page.

I would love to try one if it was QUIET! Anyone camped for a week or
more with one of these running inside the van?
