Yes! Easiest way to do this is to access your motherboard fan controller and reduce the RPM to your acceptable noise levels.

 

Another way is to add rubber rings to the screws to reduce vibration. :D

My front intake fans are loud when my exhaust is quiet. I think its the airflow which is making the sound not the fan. Any tips on fixing this?

Only thing that is affecting the sound of your fans are the fans itself. Please give us details like the brand and model of the fans for your intake and exhaust.

 

Are you using a fan controller to minimize the fan speed if not needed?

Higher RPMs = louder and vice versa. The fan size is also different, smaller blades are quiter than bigger blades.

Is there any way I can make them quieter?
