I think (in the majority) the loudest component of water cooling is the Fan. And then the pump is a close seccond.

The only reason I haven't gone to WC'ing yet is the horrible sound of water scraping violently against tubing. Makes me want to scratch my eyes out.
Seriously though, I'd have to agree on the fan. The little WC'ing kit that I used for my 7900GS was pretty quiet, except for the fan.
I actually mix in a special thermal ingredient which includes, but is not limited to, silver, diamonds, and a little bit of copper.
It keeps my temps above 85C all the time for maximum stability but it needs a lot of cleaning.
um, why would you want temps ABOVE 85c?
anyhoo....
I've recently joined the club of people who find even 'silent' fans too loud, maybe I belong over at SPCR?
/sarcasm off. LOL
Hope that clears up my mysterious metallic water cooling system.
