The only cavaliers I've known have been skittish and barkers - there goes the quiet.
I had a cocker spaniel for 10 years, and she was ~30 pounds. She did not bark unless someone was at the door, and loved nothing better than to follow you around and lay on your feet.
However, the other 5 cockers I have had ranged from the one above to never ending ball fetching machine. It all goes back to the individual dog. Size wise, cocker spaniels are near the higher end of your weight requirements if kept in shape. I have one right now that is ~15 pounds and another that is ~28 pounds.
