Making my case quieter?

Finished my build yesterday and It's so so loud.

It's na h440 case with a top mounted H110I V2 , 3 120mm intake fans and 1 120mm exhaust. Even with the sound dampening foam it is extremely loud.

I was going to move the radiator as front intake and buy a corsair AF120 dual pack to replace the last 2 fans ( 1 front intake 1 rear exhaust ) 

 

Any other  ideas on making my case quite? What about the stock fans on the h100i? They look high-quality but they seem quite loud, although it's hard to tell if they are loud as they are overshadowed by the ridiculous fans of the h440.

 

 

Any ideas would be appreciated!

If you plan on getting Corsair fan replacements, the af quiet edition high airflows are good for the case, while the quiet high static pressure would work best on the radiator. The latter won't make quite as much difference as the former I suspect, but would still quiet things down further. The (keeping with brand loyalty) Corsair ML series are quieter yet, but far pricier. Any of their high performance fans you'll probably not want if going for quiet. With the ones you have, reducing fan speed is likely the best way to reduce noise.

Your case doesn't make any noise and is inherently silent.

Have you identified which components are too loud?

I unplugged every fan and it was very, very quiet. It's the fans that are loud. I removed the stock case fanso and unplugged the watercooling fans for 20s - whisper quiet. The Fan Hub that they give runs at 100% constantly, so..

Are those all the fans you have? Is every fan too loud?
