A DDS isn't going to have good enough phase noise. The OP is correct in

Eh? He wants to sweep a filter. You don't particularly care about
phase noise when you do that.

That depends on your filter. If you're trying to design a high pole
count filter with really steep skirts and you want to verify it's final
rejection then yes, you need a low phase noise oscillator. This is
probably why he has "low noise" in his title.
