If your budget allows for it, I suggest Noctua NF-S12A PWM fans. They run about $25 each, are the best fans in the noctua lineup for quietness and cooling for case fans, include noise dampening mounts, low noise adapters, 4 pin y-splitter and an extension cable.
I use 2x NF-S12A PWM fans in the top of my hadron air, using 1 y-splitter and 2 low noise adapters (one per fan). Although it makes the case a tiny bit warmer than without them, they're almost impossible to hear.
I also use 1x NF-F12 PWM on my Corsair H60 CPU cooler, which is just more pressure optimized for radiators than the S12 is. Runs a bit louder (not by much though) but does an amazing job at cooling.
