You mentioned the 16TB exos. I have a couple of 20TB ones. I'm not sure how much they differ, but I can report they are quite loud. They spin very quietly but as soon as you're writing a bunch or anything that makes them bounce around a lot they are noisy. I would describe the noise as lower pitched than most noisy rives I have dealt with, to the point that I almost find it calming. Like the hard drive version of relaxing rain, was pleasantly surprised.
