Bored, so I recorded how loud I can get my comp:

Loud

First fan is on my thermaltake giant 3 heatsink, the bigger fan, set to high.

Second is the high pitched blower fan on the thermaltake giant 3

Last is the 92mm "ufo" fan set to full speed on my cpu.
 
Being someone who sleeps with my computer, I would probably go crazy listening to that. Quite some cooling power you have in there. Have you tried to quiet it down at all? Perhaps some noise dampeners, or a nice sharp tool for gouging your eardrums out?

Seriously though, you could probably help a LOT by replacing all of your smaller fans with larger ones. Usually, even if they make the same noise, it's a more pleasant hummy rumbling, and not so much of a wine.

Edit: I sleep in the same room with my computer, NOT truly "with my computer."
 
Replace with Panaflo fans. That's what you get when you buy cheap, fancy fans with LEDs on them. Spend 12 bucks on a 92MM Panaflo with Hydro Bearings, it'll help your ears.
 
Buy from where octech?

And I can control the speed of the 3 fans, so I would be out of the room if I turned them up that loud.
