You have a couple of choices...

o Panaflo "L" 120x38mm - not so quiet - 30dB(A), about 65cfm

o NMB 4110KL-B10-04W 120x25mm - 27dB(A)
---- hard to find, but quieter than Papst equivalent
---- bearings very close to Panaflo
---- lower fan depth so quieter than the Panaflo 120mm

o Papst 4212FGNL 120x25mm - 27dB(A)
---- one of the last few good Papst
---- however not as quiet a bearing as NMB or Panaflo
---- can be cheaper than both of those (NMB are 22-27ukp in UK)

There is also the Papst 4312L & 4312MV:
o 4312L - 120x32mm, not as good as the older versions
o 4312MV - 120x32mm temp-vario-fan, still very good
---- 25oC = 21dB(A) 40cfm
---- 40oC = >30dB(A) at 80cfm
---- if you don't want temp-variable, replace ntc thermistor with resistor

Unfortunately the 4312MV is around 22-27ukp, similar in Euros, more in US$.

Of those the easiest to source is the Papst 4212FGNL, the hardest the NMB.
I'd always go for the NMB in 120mm, but it can be very rare & very
expensive.

If you don't need a 120mm fan, consider 2x 80mm fans, or 2x 92mm fans.

You can get 4x 80mm 18cfm 15dB(A) fans for a combined 72cfm & 21dB(A),
whereas the 4312MV for a 120mm at 21dB(A) is just 40cfm - much lower &
pricier.

So consider all fan size options especially where lowest noise is the
criterion.
