Hmm, now I'm worried.  My Micropolis 4G AV drive is very loud.  It has the
constant roar (external case vibrates to the touch), the high-pitched whine,
and the grinding seeking sound.  I have its case on foam rubber inside a
cabinet across the room and that just about makes it tolerable (except the
whine gets through).  There must be a lot of variation in production...
