We had our kitchen replaced earlier this year and replaced our gas hob with induction.I have to say I love it.  I've had gas hobs for years (decades in fact) but I think induction beats it hands down.  At high heats it boils water faster than the kettle and at low heats I can get a true simmer, something I was never able to do on my gas hob, even on the smallest ring.  I think  the new induction hobs beat gas hobs hands down for controllability.

Induction hobs are fantastically easy to clean.  Mine only has 1 control knob, which is removable, leaving a completely flat surface to wipe down (although you may may need something like "hob brite" if you get stains.

Many commentators claim that you need 'special' pans for induction hobs.  This is misleading.  You need a specific but perfectly ordinary pans, which you well may already have.  They have to be magnetic so almost any pan with steel/iron content is suitable.  Pans which are suitable are labelled so, for the ones you have at home just test with a magnet.

As for noise I think this may vary from model to model/make to make.  I can honestly say that I didn't notice any noise for weeks.  I only noticed a very low humming/buzzing noise one day when I was alone in the house and there was no other noise from TVs/radios.  Frankly, my kettle is noisier as is the extractor fan.

HTH

It depends how you use your hob - if you are tossing ingredients about jamie style then its going to be loud with ceramic and induction hobs as the biggest problem with electric hobs is that you have to keep the pan in constant contact with the hob surface so you'll find yourself banging and bashing the surface to keep the heat coming - whereas you can hold a wok above the gas hob without loosing heat and without the risk of breaking the hob
