Hi, purchasing my first few drives so I can hoard some data.

I am thinking of getting 4 of the Seagate Exos ST8000NM0016 8TB 7200RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6Gb/s 3.5" Enterprise HDD everything looks great, found a reseller selling them for $109 USD each with 5 year warranty. The power usage looks about the same as WD red pro's but the only thing is the noise level which isn't specified in the data sheet https://www.seagate.com/www-content/datasheets/pdfs/exos-x-10DS1948-1-1709US-en_US.pdfI understand these drives are louder than WD red pros but like I cant find how much... do any of you know?
