The heat still has to be dissipated somehow, so even water cooling has fans, and it has pump noise. So, at normal usage/no overclocking, an air fan is just as quiet, if not quieter, than a water system. And with little thermal stress from no overclocking, again, the good air systems are just as good or better than water systems.
Start talking overclocking, and all bets are off; water systems are usually significantly better, but I did say that in my OP, I believe.
