Yes they are really good.

However consider the totality of your noise footprint when setting your expectations. I started with quieter case fans, which allowed me to hear how damn loud my cpu cooler was. Replaced that with a Noctua, and that alerted me to how loud HDDs are and how often my psu fan kicks in.

My case now has zero HDDs, all Noctua fans including CPU cooler, and a PSU that will stop spinning completely if temps drop below a threshold.

If my fans don't spin up over 50% I cannot hear them. It's great.

I use two server Fans to cool practically everything, Without headphones, there is nothing else to hear other than them, but active noise cancelling is magic and now it is completely silent, as your setup.

Look at Musk over here, affording multiple Noctua fans.

Out with the old, in with the new! My Noctua fans are now known as X fans.

my grandpa worked in the mines, for months on end, just to afford a single 80mm noctua fan! You don't appreciate hard aerodynamics!
