Fan curve editing will probably help you a lot more. And that case is pretty crap if Im correct, so it would make a lot more sense to just upgrade to a better case

I like this case a lot and don't want to spend a lot of money on a new one.

Problem with sound blocking foam is it'll be an insulator as well and roast you computer. Can you just move it farther away or get silent fans?

Not alot you can do other than buying good fans or lowering their speed without buying a new case made for silence.

First things first. Identify fan/s making noise. Or if its PSU, GPU or HDDs. Then try controlling fans first. There are ways to do noise reductions on both fans and HDD by adding rubber mounts. But controlling loud fans or changing them to new ones is usually most effective way. Case doesn't look like one you can easily dampen. Too little space for foam.

Most noise dampening accessories don't make much of a difference until you're already using very quiet components. 

First identify which components are too loud.
