What would be a good fan replacement for the S2 that would reduce the sound significantly? The S2 has been great, but the noise is quite loud.

No such thing. "Quiet" fans just move less air, for situations when you don't need that much cooling. That does not apply to a 1 KW miner in a relatively small box. You can reduce the sound a little or change the frequency of the sound with different fans, but probably not worth the cost.

You could try opening the box and running it with a large room fan blowing on it instead of the case fans. Some chance that will work, but YMMV. I was able to do that with a bunch of ASICMiner blades back in the day. It was still somewhat loud.

BTW, what's the deal with the bitmain web site being down? Back up now.
