Those tight fin server type heatsinks need a lot of pressure to get air to go through them. Noise is part of the deal I'm afraid. On my BTX builds I can funnel a 150x50mm 2xCPU workstation fan down to the heatsink . It's not too bad even at full speed.
It looks like you may have room in the front of the case for an AFC1512DG fan. DG168, MC527, NC466 are some Dell part# I think DG168 comes with a chrome grille sometimes. You could hollow out a 90mm fan for an adapter and duct down to that. They go for about $10.
