If your system is air cooled consider swapping your fans out with Noctua fans.
They are dead quiet. My system is on air. I have something like 7 fans not counting the GPU or PSU. 1 of them - the intake fan - is 220mm.
It's quiet as a church mouse. It's all Noctua. They cost a little more but
A) They are amazingly efficient. Like an order of magnitude or so more efficient than cheapo fans meaning you can run 4 on a hub without frying your mobo.
B) They are incredibly quiet. They're engineered to be silent, and even include rubber isolators on the chassis.
C) They're quality built. They won't randomly die on you like some of the cheaper stuff, and they can handle plenty of dust before they finally give up.
They cost about twice what a cheapo fan costs, and they're worth it.
If you're air cooled consider that. Otherwise it may be your pump that is at issue, and that's not easy to fix if you're on AIO.

BTW, a tip to make Windows 11 more comfortable and familiar.
launch a terminal as admin.
Copy the command from below and run it
reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
Restart explorer
Now you'll see the old style context menus without having to go "Show more"
It's the single biggest annoyance for me with win11 so i hope that helps.

I am the current the recipient of a purring shoulder kitten. She's about a year old, and not getting any lighter. She's very distracting basically draped over me like a scarf. It makes it difficult to focus and code.

They also have a "variable mass" system where they can get heavier at will - normally when they are both most comfortable and putting maximum stress on your joints.

One of our kitties is very cold-natured, always on the lookout for a warm item to nap on. We cannot leave our laptops open and running and logged in our she'll nap on it while simultaneously (1) filling any open app with random keystrokes, (2) reset the admin password, or (3) order random items from Amazon or Domino's Pizza.

My laptop is angled on a cooler, presenting an unwelcome surface for cats. The cooler itself is mostly to push air while filtering the cat hair out of it.

If you need one that actually works, get a GT500
Don't even mess with anything else. It's the only one worth a damn.
