You will need to keep it running all the time.

If you turn it off overnight any bacteria in the filter will die and your filter will do nothing other than add a current to the water.

Out of interest what filter are you using?

I have my Juwel Rekord Tank in my bedroom and I cannot hear it but that came with the tank.

Before that I had a Fluval 1 filter which didn't make much noise as long as had the outlet far enough below the water level.

To be honest I don't think you'll get a completely silent filter.
