You can make any DC powered fan run quieter by operating it at lower than rated voltage. If you look at Noctua fans, their CFM rating is low compared to similar sized "normal" fans. I know they have some special bearing design but I suspect most of the noise reduction they achieve is through running it slow. Try running a 24V fan at 18V or even 15V, easily achieved with a resistor. It'll run slower and much quieter.
