This is exactly where I mounted mine on my 2004.5. It has worked out great -- it's out of the weather, out of the way, and re the sound when it is running, yes, I can hear it, but it is just noticeable, and certainly not loud by any measure.
It's not a "plumbing nightmare", as someone stated, not at all, it was actually very straight forward to install it there. And if you look at that rear seat seat up carefully, there is plenty of air circulation to it -- again, not a problem.
