When the furnace kicks in, it sometimes wakes me up. Has anyone toyed around with the idea of somehow making theirs less noisy through some modification? I know that there is an electric heating element available for these common furnaces but I believe last time I saw that price tag it was "juice not worth the squeeze" plus that only maybe solves one of the furnace noise attributes.

Plus, Atwood specifically warns against modifying their furnaces with the electric element.
As Jamie said, ceramic heaters is probably the best bet. You will need to add heat down below (wet bays) if you are camping below zero.
My plan is ceramic heaters in the coach, and Davis Dryer 500 units in the cargo compartments. The Davis units aren't cheap, but I think safer than putting small 250 watt ceramic heaters down below.
Another option for down below is heat lamps.
