Cold air intake question

Hello. I have a 1995 Accord EX. It's pretty much stock. I'm thinking of adding a cold air intake to it. I'm wondering how much noise does a cold air intake make, and is it a good noise? I don't want the loud sound that some exhaust systems make. Does it give you a good boost in performance? I'm thinking of getting AEM. Is this the best out there for the money? Thanks to anybody who can give me some advice.
