Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't noctua fans known for being quiet?

lol you take their reputation too literally. Yes Noctua are known for quiet operation but its hardly some night and day difference. They're slightly quieter than competing fans. In the end your fan noise is dictated by other factors and Noctua aren't magicians and can't change those. The size of the fans and the speed they turn will always dictate noise more than the company making them.

Tiny fans like this are always noisy, period. At the speeds they have to turn to achieve good airflow, the noise is always annoying as fuck. Choosing Noctua won't change anything.
