Would it be possible to make a silent 4080 build?

Undervolting and underclocking would be the answer. The reason that the 4000 series are rumored to be catalysts for silicon fusion is that they are going to be pushed to the absolute limit in terms of clockspeed and die size in order to counter AMD's multi-chip competitor. This means that the RTX 4080 will be well outside the efficiency window, and by reducing the power limit and doing some undervolting, you would probably end up with about 75% of the performance at half the power or even less. In that case, it would only be a 200-225W part, yet would give you performance comparable to or better than what the current 3080 has at 320W.
