[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1381562, member: 110816"] Loud noises from the harddrive should not be ignored as it could be an indication of potential failure.. I have a Late 2009 27" i7 iMac with a Seagate ST31000528ASQ 1TB harddrive. Every time I hear the HD it is the subtle "tumbling" sound that a hard drive makes as it's accessing data. It shouldn't be much louder than that. The loudest part of my iMac are the fans and that IS something I would consider covering with music..:) [/QUOTE]
