If you really want as quiet as possible get a Seasonic passive PSU. It is literally silent because it has no fans.

Notice it has tons of ventilation, it just lets the heat of that way so it doesn't need a fan. It does run a bit hotter than a regular PSU, but as long as you have good airflow it won't be an issue

make sure you dont use it in a case with a psu shroud as it will have no airflow

Get a Seasonic fanless unit or a Corsair RMx/RMi unit. The Corsairs are semipassive (Fan doesn't spin up at all under low load and is super quiet at moderate loads) and are a bit cheaper than the fanless ones if im not mistaken

Even a near $50 Seasonic M12II would work as it is also silent, review here

Where are you buying from and what's your budget? The aforementioned Corsair RM550x is a very quiet PSU.

For £90, the RM550x is a good high-end unit you can get as stated a few times: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/550w-corsair-rm550x-series-80-plus-gold-full-modular-single-rail-458a-plus12v-1x135mm-fan-atx-psu

 

It had achieve the highest Cybenetics certification (a new program) for audible noise for PSUs: Lamda A++. [LINK]

As you can see in the evaluation report on page 3, the RM550x had stayed under 17dBA throughout most of it load range. It on occasion does get louder but still stay under 25dBA.

The RMx is pretty darn good for the price. Unless an EVGA 550G2 can be found for cheaper then there's little to rival it.
