My 6TB Toshiba X300 is so loud during read/writes that I can't be in the same room. I'm looking to upgrade to a 16-25TB drive for general media storage, downloading, and streaming, but noise is my #1 concern.

What are the quietest drives in this size range based on your real-world experience? I've heard helium drives are better. Are models like the WD Red Pro or Seagate IronWolf Pro any good for quiet operation?
