Holy shit thats the loudest fan I've ever seen. To anwer your question, no. Its unlikely you'd be able to throttle that fan to much less then half its normal voltage at which point its still pushing ~80CFM (give or take a lot depending on its electrical properties, moment of inertia, etc). An 80 CFM 120mm fan is still a screamer.

I consider 50CFM or so the quiet point for a 120mm fan, though you may hear differently. I'd probably consider a ~100CFM Sunon or Panaflo instead. That way you could throttle down to 50CFM if you're trying to rest and back up to a 100 for gaming.
