| Well, in the end I did use the vacuum, in short bursts of no more than 10 mins each time, I was moving furniture, hoovering, mopping etc so not too much noise in one go, and didnt receive any complaints.

That's like that guy who tries to be quiet by slooooowly unwrapping the plastic from a candy, except all it does is prolong the duration of the disruption.
Just do it all in one quick go and get it overwith.
10 minutes of vacuuming... ah... finally... he turned it off and I can go back to sleep.....
(10 minutes later).....
VRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

<wash, rinse, repeat>
How did you think it was less disruptive to go in 10 minute bursts, stop, do something else, and then turn it back on and go again?
