For what it's worth, my $0.02
Decent air coolers (aftermarket) run about $20-30 and will beat the pants off a stock cooler. Overclocking you can get quite high as well.
If you have the cash (or extreme noise sensitivity) then it's worth going to closed loop liquid. H100i has been my go-to with good results but I can't help but say they're unnecessary and I consider them bling. edit to add they also require a more careful cleaning regimen (gentle + more frequent).
I might make the jump to one of those when/if I get a new case. But eventually, the noise won't even matter for me. My plan is to put my PC on the other side of my office wall, into a closet. Then I don't have to hear it at all.
Most people wear headphones so it's rarely an issue.
I did set one up for a lady who works from home on video editing and had tile floors. Echo chamber!
