That's generous. Right in front of my I have a Western Digital 730, a WD 340, 
and a Conner 170, and between the three of them you can DEFINATELY here them 
quite well. The WD730 is the loudest, but I think it's slightly faulty with 
regards to noise. But in my personal workstation I have a WD1.6GB and a WD540 
and those are loud enough too. WD do not set any noise records, imho -- not on 
the newer drives at least.
