What is a ridge vent?

An old home built in late teens early twenties, unfinished attic with knob and tube wiring (in addition to newer upgrades on lower levels) has one large built in steel fan in window and one end gable, need a new roof and they want to sell me a ridge vent to go across the top. I've had recent leak with water from damaged roof, so I fear the ridge vent could create more problems with wind or rain and snow blowing in. Is my large fan (the guy that did the upstairs central AC put it in, it's designed to automatically start at 90degrees) not enough? I don't want to overventilate, the original insulation is in the floor recessed under the knob and tube wiring, had some blown in insulation put in 10 years ago as well, just don't want to take any chances. Any knowledge on the safety of the ridge vent in the older homes with regards to leaks/wind/rain/snow?

How do you fix wind blowing causing stove vent to make noise?

One way to reduce the vibration from wind noise on a stove vent is to make sure that the vent pipe has a screen over it on the roof. Some might have a screen and others might have a small roof like vent over it. It is not good to completely block this pipe, so a little rattle now and then might still be heard on windy days.
