I have a WD 80 gb SE. I've heard people say this HD is the loudest, I've heard other people say that they cannot hear theirs unless they are close to the drive. I'm really confused, I don't know if I should RMA it or not, since my last HD was a 4 gb 5400 rpm generic drive.

String annoying = ear.Listen();

if (annoying.equals("y"))
{
RMA = true;
}
else
{
RMA = false;
}

If you can't hear the voices in your head telling you to kill you family then it's too loud..

It's really just personal opinion. For me, my WD 120 is very annoying with a high pitched noise. Currently waiting for my seagate barracuda V to get here and RMA the WD.

Yeah I went out and bought Delta fans because I decided that I liked my family. ;)
