Ah, yes, this is quite helpful. Thanks.

It is in a :noexport: section already. Here is a quick test.

Exporting

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Test :noexport:

#+begin_src sh
echo "date 1" >> ~/tmp/results
echo `date` >> ~/tmp/results
#+end_src

#+begin_src sh :exports results :results silent
echo "date 2" >> ~/tmp/results
echo `date` >> ~/tmp/results
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

yields this "~/tmp/results" file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
date 2
Wed Mar 26 14:46:08 CET 2014
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The behavior is identical if the ":noexport:" tag is absent.
