I don't see why not. Muffle the exhaust for the noise issue just like a normal engine. Heat emissions could be an issue, but nothing that some clever engineering couldn't mitigate. Besides, a turbine sized properly for approx 30-50kw output - just large enough to cover
average power draw - wouldn't be too bad. After all, we aren't talking about an engine from a Boeing 7x7...
