I can recommend the 120mm Cooler Master 1200 rpm sleeve bearing fans as being no noisier than the reference Nexus 120mm fan, at least at 12V, which is the only way I could conveniently test them.

They are tremendously cheap, with a 4-pack running $16 at Newegg.

There are many other Cooler Master fans, mostly faster or ball-bearing ones. These ones have a simple 3 pin connector - not PWM.
