Case fan help

So I'm looking to buy new case fans for my corsair 500r. I recently bought two cougar fans but they're way too loud for me. So I was wondering which Noctua fans I should get for my case. I know the NF-s12a is a great case fan but there are other fans that I could also get. I really need silenced optimized fans. Any help would be appreciated. My budget is around $120.

To be clear it's just for airflow not being mounthed on a radiator? @ThatOneGuyThatOnlyPlaysPC noctua is bringing out a redux series which will be more cost effective for consumers. erm.. be quiet sells good fans.

Noiseblocker E-Loops, and Scythe Gentle Typhoons are great alternatives for Noctua fans, otherwise any airflow optimized Noctuas (I think they have an F in the product code somewhere) like NF-F12s are a fantastic option for quiet fans  :)

Scythe gentle typhoons and noiseblocker E-loops are the only fans that are on par with noctua's.
