There are going to be allot of varying opinions on this one but it's fairly simple to get in a good ball park. You want between 600 to 800 feet per minute of air flow so you need to know the CFM of your air handler and then you can calculate it this way.
Ftcube /min divide by Ft / Min = Ft square. At 1200 CFM for a flow rate of 800 Ft/min you get a result of 1.5 square feet which is 216 square inches. If you divide by 8 for the prefab 8 inch duct you need a 27 inch wide dimension or 16 X 13.5. Good luck on your project.

How do you quiet the the air return?
If it is the airflow that is making the noise, this is caused by undersized ducts. If you recently had your equipment replaced be sure the airflow is set properly for the size equipment you have. If it is, look into increasing the return air grille size. That may give you some improvement. If the noise is still objectionable the duct size will probably need to be increased.
