But noise, especially steady noise like fans etc, can be removed pretty easily. The "room sound" on a recording, the impact on your guitar's tone is something you're pretty stuck with. Have you tried seeing what your guitar sounds like (on a recording) in each of these rooms?

I was doing that yesterday. I found it very quiet and I'll be doing a lot of recording in the spare bedroom now.
