My brother has a heat pump running underfloor heating and a water tank, on top is solar PV and heat solar tubes. He lives rurally and is detached.
The heat pump is a little noisy - like an aircon unit. I wouldn't want one near my bed.  But gas boilers aren't silent either.  The noise is different.   I think in crowded areas like London the noise will be a point of contention with neighbours.

Also the air around the heat pump gets cold.  Can cause plant damage and earlier freezing than the outside air.

This winter is the first proper winter for his house so we will see the overall experience.
