Antec overture case fan question

I have a 92 mm and 80 mm case fans in my overture case ( the original ones that came with it) and would like to find some quieter ones. If I find quieter fans would they run at a slower rpm?

Thanks

Yes. disconnect the 80mm and see if the noise the larger one makes is noticeable. the larger fan has more surface area, thus moves more air with lower RPM. May only need to replace the 80mm.

Yes, that's how quiet fans are able to operate more quietly than normal fans. Lower RPMs mean less wind noise.
