Thanks everybody for your thoughtful responses. There's no doubt now that sucking air out of the cold room with a box fan works very well, now I'm looking into some of the quieter options mentioned and will move forward with that. Thanks again!
Does the box fan have multiple speeds? Ours on low speed is pretty quiet. If it has no speed control, one could be added. Or, a standard 12" table fan will do the job.
