Your question is not clear???
What is MOVING IN A 2 YEARS????
What is loud about moving????
If I am deciphering this right, you are moving in two years, which means your cat will then be 8 years old, correct???
As for the LOUD thing, I would suggest that you begin preparing the cat. It the cat crate trained??? If so, begin taking the cat for short car rides while it is crated. NOT ON HOT DAYS!!!!! & don't leave it alone in the car. Just take short rides & talk to it. Check to see that the cat is relaxed & comfortable in the crate before & after the rides. As the cat relaxes, make the rides a bit longer.
It can be difficult to move a cat. After the move, it is best to keep your cat in your new home for awhile to get it use to what is the NEW house.
Cats do not always adjust as quickly as say a dog might, just RELAX!!! If you start now & just go slowly.

If this move is not going to occur for 2 years, why worry now?
That aside, some- actually many- cats do not like moving. They are creatures of habit. A vet can give you a sedative if it's going to be a problem, but the best you can do is make sure your kitty has plenty of soft comfortable rags to lay on. If you can, leave his carrier out with the door open for a few weeks so he might get used to it, and might even decide he likes sleeping in it. And carry him in the car with you so he can see, hear, and smell you.
After the move, he might hide for a few days. Make sure he knows where the food and litter boxes are, then don't worry about him: He'll come out to explore when he's ready to.
Good luck!

Have him stay with someone usually quiet in your family so he won't be disturbed while you're moving, and then bring him to the new house once the moving is done.

the easiest way aside sedatives....if you are driving,a pet taxi with a blanket in the bottom, and some soothing words go a long way...

Call your vet and have him give him a sedative...That is what my kids did.
