Are Toshiba P300 Hard drives quieter then the older DT01ACA hard drives?

A simple question here since I got burned with the Toshiba DT01ACA200 drive I purchased to get some extra storage space as it's loud (both the motor and the read/write arm) and the time has come to purchase more storage and the Toshiba P300 3TB is looking to be the cheaper option and I don't want to get another noisemaker since the whole setup (excluding the 2TB toshiba since that will be turned into an external drive once I have my second drive configuration for this system purchased) is being moved into a new case and I don't want the drives to be making excessive noise.

So, are the newer drives better in the noise department or should I just go for a seagate 3TB drive?
