I guess that depends on the disks. Most of the disks I use are 
comparable silent. I use several IBM SCSI drives and they can 
hardly be heard, even in a powermac (that is one of the most 
quiet machines I have). Then I have several Seagate Barracudas 
(ST15150w) that are real screamers, and like the IBM drives 
they are 7200 U/min disks.
