Putting My Worm Bin Next to a Central Vac - Bad Idea?

The title pretty much says it. I had my worms outside (well, techniclly in a shed) but the heat made them abandon ship into my catch bin so I brought them inside to live in my basement (would have had to happen eventually since the winter would kill them). That immediately quelled their great escape and they seem happy again, but now I'm trying to find a permanent home for them.

They are next to a pantry now but that may be disagreeable for some other house dwellers, and there is a window above it that is exposing them to more light than I would like. There is a great out of the way spot I was condisering, but it's in between the water heater and the central vac. I've heard that worms are not real keen on vibrations, but what about loud noises? I know they don't 'hear' per se but the noise may still be enough to disturb them.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
