It depends. They're simply the most annoying drives out there because Seagate on their wisdom decided to remove half of the SMART data from reports and they won't let you change the power settings like other drives. Those drives will never spin down, they'll even report to the system they're spun down while in fact they'll be still running at a lower speed. They also make a LOT of noise.
I got a set off ebay, Jesus christ they're loud. I ended up returning them cause I could hear the grinding through my whole house
I have 3 14tb exos drives. I have them in a Roswell 4u hotseap chassis. Running unraid.
It's nearly inaudible over the very reasonable case fans. No grinding noises. I can hear the heads moving a bit but it's quite subtle. Not sure why people have such different experiences with these
I noticed when they first spin up on boot they do some sub routine and they're pretty loud and chatty. First time I heard it I was spooked but it worked fine and I just use it for backup so I just moved on. Once it's on and in normal operation it's like any other disk I've used over the decades. Nothing as loud as an old scsci disk or a quantum fireball.
I'm questioning your auditory acuity :P
Ahaha that's about what they do.
