Never used it personally, it is an airflow case so it is probably not made to be quiet. Corsairs stock fans are quiet enough, I am using them now. Not sure how quiet you are looking for but they are decent. And feel free to ask as many questions as you have! I am here to help!

Well the Air 240 is designed for air cooling but is generally a amazing case even if water cooling, as you are water cooling there will need to be some fans on the radiator, moving parts = more noise. Both of them do not come with dampening pads but the Air 240 is more open so more of that will be heard. IMO I would choose the 240 as it has great spacing, cheap and really, the fan noise isn't noticeable.
