Lolwut? Throw it inside where the narcs can't see it (you'll want it inside or at least in an out building anyway). They're not loud. The venting you'll want isn't loud either.

Are you using a full sized "router" on steel plate, or a mini-engraver made from a hobby-motor on balsa? Even a compressor fed Plasma-cutter rig is usually far quieter by comparison, as cheap import engravers often just make a mess of the surfaces.

My router itself is a 2x2 with the Vevor 3hp spindle (not a repurposed handheld wood router). The router, regardless of material it's being used on, is quieter than just about any woodworking tool with a circular blade. When it's indoors nobody cares. I mostly use mine for making wood mockups of parts before I make them in steel. I have more traditional tools for steel fabrication. The router makes basically no noise compared to the "loud" ones of those.
