Looking for the Quietest 120mm Case Fan I can get with Equivalent Cooling

I'm moving into a dorm situation soon, so I would like to replace my current case fans with quieter alternatives to make the noise coming from my desktop easier on roommates and myself. I currently have three 120mm case fans, one being a coolermaster sickleflow and the other two being the stock cooler master fans that came with my HAF 912 case. I also have a hyper 212 evo that is equipped with the provided 140mm fan, but I'm not sure I'll replace that just yet. If I decided to keep it, would the noise level from that fan cancel out the dampening of the quiet case fans? I also said equivalent cooling, but I'd like to know if the cooling I have is necessary. I have an i5-4570 that idles at 29 degrees and an EVGA 760 with aftermarket cooling that idles at around 32 degrees. I'd also rather them not be brown (looking at you Noctua.) Any help is appreciated.

That's not really what I'm looking for as I already set my fan speeds in the BIOS to be as low as possible under minimal load, and that still wasn't satisfactory. I'm looking for as silent as I can get.
