I had one problem, I live in an apartment, and my common area (living room, diningroom, kitchen, bathroom) is quite a good size 
but my bedroom is small. Living in an apartment, on the bottom floor, IN canada, (I have snow drifts, and cold weather,) my windows are single pane, but double layered. I had a problem with condensation on the windows, they would ice up, and then I couldnt open them, I would have to thaw out with a blow dryer and a heater (not fun 
) They would get like an inch thick of ice on the window at the bottom! So I had to move the tank out of my room, or put a de humidifier in my room, but that would be too many noises for the "better-half" so we moved it to the living room...
Other than that, I slept like a baby with the tank in the room, and would watch it till my eyes got sore, and plus.. Theres no better waking up then to your fishies beside you!
PS: If you don't live in Canada, I envy you.

Just grab a dehumidifer, and you'll be fine as far as mold is concerned. When I still lived with my dad in his ranch house (no 2nd floor, not actually on a ranch), my bedroom was in the basement. There was a dehumidifier always running, and i got used to the sound.
i cant imagin sleepin without a tank next to my bed.. thats teh only thing that gets me to go to sleep is t now that my fishys are there right beside me..
The splashing of the filters is actually relaxing. I have 70g of water in my room split between my 3 tanks. I feel fine.

None...It will take you a week or two to get used to the pump noises, but you will be fine...
