I swear by my Noctuas, they are fantastic fans. I've had a full set of them in my case for about 8 years now, even under heavy gaming load the fans will get more 'whooshy' but they are hardly noticeable and keep the system cool.

How much did they run you? My case came with four pre-installed fans and I purchased an additional three (only two can fit in the case though). I’d be willing to swap them out if they make that much of a difference while still providing cooler air than what I currently have.

In most instances, a Noctua fan should outperform the majority of fans that come pre-installed with your case.
