First aluminum build... How to keep it quiet...

What do ppl like to to do to keep aluminum as quiet as possible? I will be using a Cooler Master Mystique 631. I am not obsessed with quietude, but would like to take a measure or two to assure that I do not notice much of a difference going from steel to aluminum... I have Yate Loon 120mm fans...

Thanks..
 
Thanks.. I am tempted to cut a 250mm into the side but I was not really looking to mod the case to that extreme as I will not be O/Cing this system very much if at all. .. what I had in mind was whether or not ppl would recommend sound dampening or some other tricks to compensate for aluminum's increased noisiness of over steel...

Thanks..
 
Why do people say that aluminum is louder somehow than steel? A well-built aluminum case won't rattle (mine doesn't). Most of the noise is dependent on the fans, not the case.
