I can't comment on which particular units are quiet, but highly suggest you check out Youtube and watch the videos with service repair techs talking about the issues with ice/water through the door models. Simply, their takes are that such "features" work against overall refrigerator design.
Our home (purchased two years ago) came with a new refrigerator with the ice/water through the door. After one year of the unit dropping cubes on the floor every few days (ice that didn't clear the opening), we replaced it with a french door, bottom freezer/ice maker unit.
