Squirel Cage? O.k.. Almost all automotive blower motors are squirel caged, and run on 12v. But they need to be in a box of some sort to direct the airflow. The motor itself isn't that loud, its the airflow that makes it loud. Try a scrap yard, for the cheapest in price. New ones cost anywhere from $40-$80us and sometimes don't come with the fan on top. Downfall would be that they are not to be run contiuously all day all week long, as amperage can get pretty high. At the same time you can also use a blower resistor from a car to regulate the voltage.
