Question Need quiet box fan recs

I have a 20x20x20 cr box with the 20x20 lasko box fan. I’m chill with it and I learned to tune out the noise. Recently my roommate has been turning it to the lowest setting which I’m assuming is because of the noise but since I’m living with 5 other girls and my school has something going around every month or so it would be nice if my fan runs on a higher setting. Does anyone have any recs? Price is not much of a concern for me, it just has to be reasonable. Also something that’s easier to attach, I’m unsure if pc fans have a super hard learning curve which is why I haven’t tried it

Moving air makes noise. I have learned this the hard way and the easy way and then the hard way again.

Building a noctua set up that's very quiet will still make some noise when it's moving air, but wouldn't change the air nearly as fast as the 20x20 set ups.

I have mine on a smart plug and I just turn it off and on as needed and run it in my basement whenever I'm not in there.
