If your budget can't stretch to a Revox or similar, then some of the Philips, Tandberg or later Grundigs are pretty quiet - the Philips especially so as their belts will have all but vanished leaving a sorry mess! However once cleaned and rebelted (is that a word?) they are one of the quietest single-motor machines.

I got lucky after getting my first deck. I went to the neighborhood tip to take something else to dispose of and I discovered that someone had dropped off another Teac deck similar to the one I already had, but newer.
IT was set for 240 volts and 50 HZ. I looked at it and it had an adjustment for 50/60 CY and voltage setting for 100 to 240 volts. Set it all properly and it worked to perfection. It even had a metal take-up reel.
