Default Is there a quiet ESC fan!?

I've put a Trackstar 120 in my son's Wraith and it's crazy loud! The hobbywing fans seem a fair amount quieter which has made me wonder if there's a known quiet fan on the market; my Google searches aren't giving me hope though.
So, does anyone know of a quite option out there!? Ta

ESC fans are just normal 25-30mm DC fans, so yes. They usually use 5-6v from the BEC, sometimes direct from battery. 6v would run a 12v fan, but at half speed. 5v will only run a 5v or 6v fan. IIRC 8000rpm is where they get loud, most are 10-12k. Then you just swap the connector and bolt it on.
