@irangan
From your opinion which one is more silent ??
SilentX or Noctua ... since u got the experience with both ..
Like stated by lolhalol, SilentX is a con stuff and its dont perform as its stated. Conclusion, it is a crappy fan.. The creator got banned in several forum because he self promoted the fan by posing as customer.
So as for your question, of course Noctua is more silent

dont bother with silentx... saw a technical review of it.. airflow is shit...
noctua is ok.. minibea is ok.. sflex also ok... but if budget tight.. u can always get the original YAteloon... preety good quality
Ya.. it is a sucky fan. No where near to those really 'branded' fan.

What bout Silverstone fans? FM12x series?

FM121 and FM122 are good but abit too noisy (weak in dba / cfm ratio). Meanswhile, FM123 is total crap according to most user feedback that I read. It is said that its cfm just cant justify the noise its produced.
You cant whine much when it is one of those few 'branded' fan that can easily found in Malaysia. But if you have other option like S-Flex, Minibea and Panaflo, you wont even look at Silverstone fans. Haha.
