The joys of a quiet(er) PC

I'm sure every non-laptop PC user has experienced this - your PC getting louder and louder.

I actually bought my last PC with it being silent in mind. I didn't quite achieve that, since I didn't go that extra mile and buy the water cooling setup I had in mind. Although, with my P180, the drives properly mounted and the quiet power supply, it was quite good.

That said, it's been somewhat over a year now, and my awesome P180 started to fail me - not one, not two, but ALL FOUR of the Antec Tri-cool fans started making noise.. So, I finally replaced them today and am back to my normal somewhat quiet hum. Bliss.

Is it just me, or is everyone else getting sick of everything being so noisy all the time?
