Western Digital 250GB - noise?

[Slickone]

Is the WD 250GB (internal) HDD noisier than smaller (120GB-200GB) WD or Maxtor drives? Seems I remember someone saying this. I think it's 35dB?

As far as i know its only increased platter density that allows the higher capacity, other than that there are no other changes, so the noise level should not increase.

Actually it was the 200GB someone said was loud (at idle), here.
