Very quiet (silent?) non-water CPU cooler required

When I swap out my mobo & cpu assuming I solve my I/O problems, I'll also need a new cpu cooler.

I currently run a P4 3.2HT with a Gigabyte Silent Blue cooler which although an effective cooler is anything but 'silent'.

Noise is absolutely critical in a recording studio.

My case is an Antec TX1050. The case has been 'soundproofed' (silicon gaskets/washers, acoustic foam inserts/ plastic screws etc.)

If I get a AsusP5W series mobo, does anyone know of a C2D 775 compatible cooler which will fit AND be almost inaudible.

My Gigabyte Silent Blue cooler sounds like a jet running afterburners at times.
