My pro is in the basement, so the noise is not a concern for me. Though my impression is that the fan noise masks the disk noise with my current configuation.
I have a WD1002FAEX in the PC I'm using now - its been very reliable, but I wouldn't get another one - much too noisy. Definitely good to check the dba specs before purchase!
