The seagate's are barely audible when idling and just a soft tapping when 
active.  My maxtor's sound like a high-speed notebook fan while idling and 
like somebody using one of those old IBM "clicky" keyboards when it's 
actually doing work. 

The few WD drives I have are in noisy and/or out of the way places, so I 
don't know how they compare.
