I remember when I spend a few days with a relative, who kept the (central HVAC) fan on all the time. I got used to it and didn't notice, until it stopped from a power outage.

Most of what I've seen is vents in the ceiling. However, I have seen a few systems with vents in the floor (often in mobile homes).. I've never seen vents in the wall or both floor and ceiling.
I got new A/C in 2013. A good time, since we've had much greater humidity around June since then.
Not here (Texas) except in some older houses (those may still have steam heat).
All noise annoys me. In particular a change in noise.
I guess it doesn't really matter where they are, except in the floor stuff falls into them.
If I don't get AC for this summer, I'm going to frighten my neighbours again by walking around naked.
Ask Tekkie®, he knows all there is to know about "context". {snicker}
We keep the blower on all the time, too.
Vents in the ceiling suggests no basement and HVAC equipment in the attic. Is that the case?
Basements are extremely common here in Michigan, and it makes more sense to put the HVAC equipment there, where the temperature is stable, than in the attic, where it is subject to extremes of heat and cold.
Plus, it's much easier to access for service. We change the filters monthly because my husband has allergies.
