Having a fishtank in the bedroom and filter noise

Beginner Help

I'm going to build my first fish tank ever it's going to be either a 60 L or 80 L with probably shrimps or something else i'm not sure yet.

The problem is the aquarium will be in my bedroom close to my bed so i need to know wich type of filters will make the less noise possible.

I've read that sponge filters with air pump and HOB filters make a lot of noise and canister filters are for bigger tanks and more expensive but less noise.

I'm kinda lost on wich type of filter i should buy ? I know they sell air pumps build to make less noise but can i trust it ?
