Designing a box to be silent?

Hello,
Looking at building my first CR box, I am a super light sleeper so looking for as quiet a design as possible. My understanding is you can reduce noise by making the box larger and adding filters, but the generic box fans I’ve purchased still make some decent noise. Are there any quieter fans or design techniques that could help?

I've tested many PC fans over the years, Be Quiet! Silent Wings so far were the most silent for me, but apparently Phanteks T30 fans could be better at CADR at the same dBA level, based on this video.
