ISS is in microgravity. But, you'll see things move around due to other
"unseen" forces, like air flow.

Ah, I had never taken into consideration air flow.

When you're stuck in an aluminum can in microgravity, good air circulation
is very important. You wouldn't want a stagnant pocket of CO2 to develop in
the vicinity where you're breathing.

My understanding is the noise of the fans to move air around are fairly
loud. Is this true?

Look at my site and see how NASA treats a creative mind!!!
The summary is "Not Very Well" :-)
