I have a CycleOps Fluid Squared and it is quiet. I waited for the LBS's 25% off sale. You can do the same with REI (they run 20R% or 25% off sales a couple times a year).
I switch out the back tire and I haven't gotten fast. It is a pain in the a$$. However, when I found out the cost of getting a separate wheel, I decided I'd rather wrestle with changing the tire.

sara - stay away from wind trainers (unless you are always going to ride in a garage) - these sound like you have a motor bike in your house. Magnetic trainers and Fluid trainers are both quiet - fluid more so than magnetic. Mag trainers are a nice introductory model - especially if you are unsure if you are going to stick with the indoor riding season.
