Do you not have some sort of controller on your motherboard? My older 80mm fans are quite loud but tuned down a bit and they are quite pleasent.

Perhaps you should invest in higher performace fans so you can turn them down and still get pretty good air flow.

I'm so tempted to say something but I won't.....
It may be worth the money to spend if it really bothers you THAT much.
The price you have to pay......

My computer is loud too with 14 fans going...

Mostly my 90mm window fan is the cause. I hooked it up to my lightbus so I can control it or turn it off and on to reduce noise. However, I don't mind the noise, I get used to it.

So stop complaining. Surely you're used to it by now...
You should be able to adjust the volume on your phone,
Well actually, it's not like you listen anyway,
(I couldn't resist)
