Would my system be more quiet if I got Noctua NF-F12s instead of corsair sp120s.

Hi, I am considering purchasing 3 Noctua NF-F12s for the front of my corsair 900d. The corsair 900d comes with 3 corsair sp120 fans in the front (not sure if they are quiet edition or performance but they get pretty loud on maximum speed). The rest of my system is all noctua nf-f12s except the 3 front fans. If I change the three front fans would my system be significantly quieter? I am running every fan in my system on a fan controller, and I put the setting the lowest. The fan controller I have is the NZXT Sentry Mix 2.

More fans, or different fans, is not always the answer.

Reduce it to 1 intake fan (front) and 1 exhaust fan (rear)
Add fans until the acceptable cooling vs acceptable noise curve bothers you.

I am water cooling. I have a 360mm radiator in the top, a 480mm in the bottom, and a 140mm in the rear. The 360mm rad and, 480 are running noctua nf-f12's the 140mm is running the fan that came with the 900d and I did not touch the front fans. I would not like to remove any fans from radiators so front is really the only option. I have the 360 in the top as exhaust, the 480 on the bottom left as intake, the 140 in the rear as exhaust, and the 3 fans in the front as intake.
