I do own a 1100D and don't find the mirror noise so loud. In Live View, the mirror is up, so that would explain the lower noise when you take the picture. My advice would be to go to a shop and compare the noise with the 1100D that is on display. IF it is the same, then your ears may just be too sensitive. If it isn't, then head out to the service center and ...

Look at your exposure meter. Your gear is only capable of so much and in the Av/Tv/P modes it will attempt to use your settings (such as your specified shutter speed), and adjust the other settings to get the right exposure. If you adjust a setting too far then it won't be able to keep up. You should see your meter and/or shutter/aperture settings (whichever ...

It's not a fault of the camera, it's the nature of the flash.
While we tend to think of a camera's hot shoe as an attachment point for a flash, it's actually an accessory shoe that can accept a flash. (Other typical uses include accessory optical or wire-frame viewfinders, GPS units, video lights and shotgun microphones.) The centre, large connector ...

No the Canon BG-E5 is not officially compatible with the 1100D. Canon have not released a battery grip for the 1100D, neither does it appear they are planning to, since the SD card slot is inside the battery compartment you'd have to remove the grip every time you changed memory cards.

In Manual mode, as was said by @tenmiles, the Exposure Meter will tell you whether you are properly exposed.

I'm not quite sure exactly what you are looking for. There are only a few main things that I commonly see hot shoes being used for these days:
Flash Units
Flash Cords
Bubble levels
Video Lights
Microphones
GPS Units
In the past I have seen them used for a few other things, but this is much less common:
Special viewfinder type units
Light meters
Since ...

I believe it will work, but with quite limited functionality.
Basically it is a manual process with the Canon T3. The GP-E2 will capture logging information, but you have to sync the two up on a computer later.
The T4i has firmware that supports the usage of this GPS logger, your T3 does not as far as I can tell. It might be worth looking at any new T3 ...
