Has this been tried yet, if not, who is going to try it?
A US owner has done this and reported on it in the Oct 2015 edition of the MTWC magazine.
However there is no mention of noise in the article, he was more concerned at the temperature the oil reaches and its degradation and wanted to reduce the oil temperature to increase the oil change interval from 3000 to 12000 miles. He succeeded in reducing the oil temperature but only with a very complex set up the oil cooler was under the bonnet with fans and the oil was pumped with an electric pump and in line he had flow meters and temperature gauge.
