It's not a good idea to leave the blower next to the laser and try to push the air through 30+ feet of pipe. The blower should be at the end, pulling the air through the pipe.
Your blower sounds like overkill first of all. If it's 1000 CFM, that's more than twice the CFM Epilog suggests for a mini.
If you build a box in the attic for the blower, and insulate the box, then blow up out of the roof, I would suspect that most of the sound would be contained in that box.
You can run a remote power switch down to the laser room and simply flick that switch before you start lasering.
BTW, use straight wall ducting for the exhaust to cut down on resistance in the pipe and the resonance caused by flexible tubing.
