Again, agruably the best source for "is this fan quiet, what about this one?...." is Silent PC Review (SPCR), in particular, the Fans and Control subforum there. This sticky thread was created in an attempt to summarize the discussion of this subforum.
The Top SPCR Quiet 120mm Axial Fans Compared + 120mmAC Fans
As a side note, even though I'm the one who started the thread and compiled the information, the real credit goes to the guys trying all these fans out and posting about them. I've got to be careful mentioning names as there are so many who have contributed, many of whom I have forgotten, but ferdb, teejay, pdf27 are some of the many. A big thanks to all who have helped.
