Is this Seagate Exos drive too good to be true?

I got a set off ebay, Jesus christ they're loud. I ended up returning them cause I could hear the grinding through my whole house
I have 3 14tb exos drives. I have them in a Roswell 4u hotseap chassis. Running unraid.
It's nearly inaudible over the very reasonable case fans. No grinding noises. I can hear the heads moving a bit but it's quite subtle. Not sure why people have such different experiences with these
I noticed when they first spin up on boot they do some sub routine and they're pretty loud and chatty. First time I heard it I was spooked but it worked fine and I just use it for backup so I just moved on. Once it's on and in normal operation it's like any other disk I've used over the decades. Nothing as loud as an old scsci disk or a quantum fireball.
I'm questioning your auditory acuity :P
Ahaha that's about what they do.
