Fan noise unbearable with humming in the background

I need help with my set up, here are the specs
Lian li odynamic
Arctic freezer 360 mounted on top as exhaust
3 sl120 mounted on the side as intake
3 sl120 mounted at the bottom as intake
12700k
3080 ti FE
8x4 ballistix 3600 cl 16
Z690 edge wifi
850 rmx

So I use msi burner to undervolt my GPU it runs stable at 885MV at 1905. I set the fans curve manually with zero rpm override (fan should be at zero when GPU is below 40c) but it doesn’t get activated so it’s stuck at 1000RPM all day which is 30%

Then I use fancontrol and set my pump fan curve and my sl120 since they’re all connected to one lian li hub I can’t see the rpm but they use the same fan curve.

I experience strong vibrations and hum from the fans when gaming to keep the temps low. The sl120 are very loud at full speed and are the ones causing the problems. So I’m wondering if it’s because the liquid freezer and the sl120 have max rpms that cause these issues and how I can resolve this
 
If you're still using the Arctic fans on the aio they are known for having a certain pitch that some people don't like (myself included) and I swapped them out recently due to it.
 
Why are you running fans at full speed ? It is just not necessary when you have 6 x 120mm forcing air into the case.

Firstly what temps are you getting whilst gaming or running benchmarks ?

Secondly turn fans down to less than 50% and see if your temps stay the same. If you are still getting hum/vibration then stop each fan one at a time with a pencil and see if you can identify the source, you could have a faulty fan.

Thirdly , do you have the Arctic Freezer plugged into the Lian Li fan controller ? If so I am not sure thats right and it should be plugged into the cpu fan header and set the curve in the bios. You say you use fancontrol but isnt that an Asus software tool and you have an MSI mobo ?

Bit confused but the main point is dont run fans at 100%.

So to your point 1 I run them at full speed to demonstrate the humming they are on full speed when benchmarking as well I get 22700 on cinebench r23
On gaming my CPU is around 55-60C at 50% of all the fans and AIo fans . GPU is at 60 to 65 and only reachin 70C on cyberpunk with everything set to ultra and Dlss set to quality .
Even at low told the ones in the bottom generate some hum dunno if it’s the screws or the case, but they aren’t touching any cables. The ones on the side when I flip them to exhaust they don’t make any noise even at full speed aside from the air woosh of course
