I have very sensitive hearing and I can't stand high pitched noises.
I have 3 Western Digital hard drives (1 Raptor and 2 500gb 7,200rpm) in my Coolermaster case. I bought 3 hard drive enclosures:

but I can still hear them spinning at idle and it's enough to annoy me. I also sleep with my computer on. I recently had to dump my PSU because it insisted on making a horrible high pitched whine whenever I moved the mouse
It was an Antec as well.
I don't like to turn my machine on and off every day because it's often downloading something overnight and I believe it reduces hard drive life as opposed to leaving them spinning constantly.
Anyway, I'm seriously considering building a box made from 5mm thick aluminium and lined with foam and rubber... and then dumping my current setup inside it! Am I crazy? The answer is yes but at least I will have silence at last!
