So I am thinking about replacing my top 140mm exhaust fan and 120mm rear exhaust fan. The reason i do this is, because the rear fan is garbage and started making some buzzing two weeks ago and the Corsair AF140 i have on the top is a bit too loud for me even on 800-900 rpm probably also due to the vibrations since it doesnt have any rubber grommits for mounting. I thought about getting a Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM (rear) and NF-A14 PWM (top). From what I've heard are the noctua fans pretty quiet.

Do you guys have any other good suggestions for quiet fans?

 

thanks in advance!

Noctua Fans are good and quiet, and if you don't mind their garbage appearance then they're a good choice. I'd personally go for some bequiet silentwings 3 Fans though, as they're really quiet and look alright

noctua fans are quiet and decent. like said above, have you looked at the BeQuiet Silent Wings 3? they're also a good series of fans and are quiet also. and i think they're cheaper than noctuas and are more colour friendly :P

For case fans, especially exhaust, Noctua is overkill. Well, unless you don't want to worry for the next 6-10 years about ever dealing with your fans apart from wiping them down once a year.

 

Either the pure wings 2 or fractal design R2 will work  perfectly well for exhaust fans otherwise.
