If it helps any, the fan swap for the TP-Link switch TL-SG3210XHP-M2 was for the same size fan, so airflow and speed should be the same, it's just a much quieter fan. I went with the Noctua NF-A4x20 FLX 40x20mm. I'm in the same room as the switch, about 5 feet away, and the 7200 rpm hard drives in the NAS sound louder than the fans on the switch.

Have you looked into the TP-Link Omada switches? This 8 port has been working well in a home environment - https://www.tp-link.com/us/business-networking/omada-switch-poe/tl-sg3210xhp-m2/.

Fans are LOUD, but the fans can be swapped out for quieter ones if you don't mind the fan error light. For example, see https://www.rootusers.com/how-to-fix-tp-link-tl-sx1008-switch-fan-noise.
