Hi Edward I would recommend a system76 laptop they've got lots of different ones to meet your price point as well as your requirements for quietness I could even put you in touch with someone who worked on them specifically like actually worked for the company so he could attest to their quietness or loudness.
Otherwise you have pretty much a crapshoot of whether or not it's loud. you could always go to the store to verify; but whether or not Linux works on it properly, is another good question, some of them I found are okay, others not so much. My current daily driver laptop is a Toshiba 12.5 inch foldable touchscreen 4k laptop but it has the most horrible vacuum cleaner of a fan ; it works well though with Linux as many of the Skylake ones recently seem to. Finally there's always the Lenovo ThinkPad models the t460s specifically is actually a very nice one, I've been using it for work and it is actually extremely quiet extremely lightweight 14.1 inch full HD no touch screen but the laptop is really solid. Hope this helps and if any weird spelling errors exist that's because I'm trying Google Voice typing I was I take a walk around Virginia Beach. Have a nice day Edward!
