In grade school, we had pet guinea pigs in the class room. I got to take one home to babysit during holiday breaks. They are easy to care for. I had to clean his cage daily.
I don't recall them making noise at all, and I never had one bite. My hamster bit me, but he was sick and died when he did it. I'm sure it is possible for any little creature to bite.
