Are these breeds typically quiet?

I am looking at adding to my flock and I need quiet chickens. When I say quiet, I expect (and enjoy) their clucks and egg songs and the such. It is just that I had a Salmon Faverolle who was like a foghorn all day long and she was bothering one of my neighbors and I had to find her a new home. I don't want to have to rehome any more chickens. I am considering:

Black Copper Marans
Barred Rock
Orpington
Brahma

I know there can always be exceptions but in general, are these "quiet" chickens?

Thanks,
CJ

Living in suburbia with my amazing husband, 2 wonderful boys, 1 dog, 1 cat, 1 Black Austrolorp, 1 Blue Andalusian, 1 Welsumer, 1 Ameracauna and 1 Gold-Laced Cochin.
 
My 2 barred rocks are very quiet. They sing when they lay and cluck quietly when they see me coming out to the coop, But they are nothing like the black sexlinks. Now if you want to talk about loud, have 3 Buff Brahma roosters. They are loud.
 
I don't know about other peoples experiences but my Buff Orps(what I started with)were the loudest girls in my coop, then we got other chickens and found that they are all loud at egg laying time,after a bit, quiet as church mice.
 
My orps are generally quiet though a couple will get loud at laying time. My barred rocks are quiet too. The mouthy one is a dark cornish lol. She is very opinionated and tells me all about it.
 
My EE is very quiet - but since she's a mixed breed, it's hard to know why. My Austrolorp is very chatty - she is the most interactive and follows me around talking to me constantly but doesn't make a lot of loud noise. My black sex linked, partridge rock, and GLW all have very loud egg calls especially early in the morning. I have four red sex-linked and they're all variable.
