Re: Making my PC run Quieter
adding another fan won't make it quieter.
If you think it's the HSF, you could go for water cooling. 
When the wife complained of my 3 (& later just 2) Tornado's, I went H2O and the difference was almost spooky.
if the case is resonating the sound of your existing fan(s), you could line it with sound deadening material.
I used some years ago & liked it. But forget the name.
Basically, same stuff used in auto trunks. Thick tar on the sticky side, shiny metal foil on the flip side. (The tar makes it nearly impossible to remove later BTW).
The rubber grommets mentioned before are also a good idea.
