Yes, unifi switches (e.g. lite16, ultra, flex, flex mini) are quiet (and non-flaky!). You do have to drink the "Unifi Network Application" Kool-Aid, which is a java hairball. But it works, and you can manage all your switches and APs in one interface, and put VLANs on SSIDs. It helps to also drink the POE Kool-Aid at the same time.
