Near silent HDD for a NAS?

[Goose]

I've live in a very small place and unfortunately my NAS has to be in my living room and i can hear whirring away at all times and it's starting to get pretty irritating. I know no HDD is completely silent but are there any that are inaudible once you're 4-5 feet away?

Thanks

Which NAS? Can you box it in or add any sound insulation to it? I'd try that first before replacing the drives which is much more expensive.

It's an xpenology small form factor box i put together myself so i'm not really sure what kind of thing i might be able to do. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks
