If you replace the fan and it is still loud, your Dell Inspiron could be overheating due to a lack of ventilation. Try to use your Dell Inspiron in a more open or cool space. When your laptop is in a hot environment, it attempts to draw out more warm air from it, which is impossible if there is only warm air surrounding it.

Your Dell Inspiron may be overheating due to multiple videos or games being played on it. Try to turn these videos or games off, or reduce the amount you are running at one time.
