What kind of CPU cooler do you have now, if you know?  Loud is subjective and it would help to know that.  Is it an Intel retail box one?

Zalman makes some good and very quiet CPU coolers, but they are not particularly cheap.  The one I linked you to is probably the one you would want and it usually retails for around USD $40.

Contrary to what the common wisdom suggests for other things, in CPU coolers, bigger usually means quieter.  That is because a large fan can deliver the required air flow at lower RPM than a small one.

P.S.  You might want to do some reading on this site.
