You can always get a cooler with a removable fan (like the Thermalright Ultra 120 or Scythe Ninja) and get a really quiet fan like the Scythe S-Flex or a Yate Loon. I just snagged 6 Zalman ZM-F3 fans, but I haven't used them yet, so I won't be able to tell you the noise levels on them.

It's pretty quiet until you crank up the fan speed, which you'll find is the case with many enthusiast oriented aftermarket coolers. If noise management is your #1 priority, look very closely at the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro or Scythe Katana 2.

but remember you sacrifice a little in terms of OC potential if you going for silent cooling solutions. My Scythe Ninja RevB has a 120MM fan on it and i can say i honestly dont hear the thing at all. Then again im sure its cause the 3 other 120M fans in the case drown it out lol. Or the GPU =P

The Zalman ZM-F3 are pretty decent. Not extremely quiet, not extremely noisy either. I would say your a bit less noisy than average 120mm fan.

what do you think would be the potential noise out put of the tsunami dream? as this would be a key factor in my build, and if system fans are connected to the mother board do they fall under the pwm control?
