I'm looking for a quiet 8TB internal HDD (CMR) (zerobytes.monster)

I consider a WD Red Plus 4TB to be pretty quiet, so that's the baseline. I bought the 8TB version and it was significantly louder and annoying, so I relegated it as a backup drive. I don't really care about the performance, since it will be mostly idle and used to store media files. I'd prefer either WD or Seagate. I'm using it for a desktop PC (inside its case), so that's why it needs to be quiet.

Edit: thoughts on this WD Blue 8TB CMR (WD80EAAZ)?
