Google "Silent Spinner". If it's not broken and not crusty or whatever, it really is very quiet. Unless you're an extremely light sleeper, I think it'd be no more noise than a fish tank filter running, or typical background noises.
>>215117 I agree with just about all your descriptions there ... Though I've personally no experience with Chinese dwarves. Young Robos are indeed crazy little guys (and gals, I just work at a 'male' store) ... I'd get a larger cage (but make sure it's very secure, they are TINY) and fill it full of interesting tubes, toys, hideouts, chewies ... If you go with them. Males, if kept in pairs, will fight when they begin to sexually mature if they don't have enough space to have a niche to themselves.
>>215137 I know what you mean there ... But I do think it all depends on the size of the habitat at the store vs. how many hammies are in it vs. how old each one is, and which gender.
But yes ... I see a lot of returns or complaints about 'nippy' hamsters, of all varieties. Make sure you wash your hands before handling your hamster (and after for good hygiene), as food smells or sometimes certain lotions can make them interested in your fingers.
Also, if you do get a hamster, please note that it will most likely take a few weeks for it to get used to both you, and its new cage.
