any tips to reduce the mechanical noise coming from a pc?
I tried out low noise fans but still not enough. Noise is coming from hard
drives too.

It depends on how much money you're willing to spend to keep it quiet. A
quite cheap solution is something like a nexus breeze case with lots of
added DIY foam, seagate hardrives, graphics card without a fan, etc. I have
one, and it's very silent.
