Look at the Panaflo L model 120 mm fans. Those are so silent that you can't hear them from over a foot.
Sound perception is very tricky. The silent you go, more background noises you start to hear. Your statment tell me that you're in a noisy ambient.

Make one port on the top of your case blowing in
With undervolted fans you don't want to fight against natural convection, but work with it. The highest point should have exhausts.

Maybe in a highly isolated case, an undervolted centrifugal fan could be more efficient. Those generate a lot more pressure than axial ones, and thats needed to move air through small vents.
