WD Raptor Noises, What is Normal?

Raptors are going to be louder than regular drives...the spin speed pretty much guarantees that. I had a 36gb 1st gen that was pretty loud and I just upgraded to the Raptor X 150. The 150 is considerably louder. It might be that I put it in a different spot in my case, but it just seems a bit noisy compared to the first one I had. I can hardly hear my Maxtor 500gb or my Western Digital 200gb access so I know it's just the Raptor line.
