Hard Drive noise damping

Yes I don't think the drive itself has got noisier (although it's possible). I think carpet somehow absorbed some of the noise or at least made it appear quieter.

patrickl , there's no point in arguing with X about it. I've run HDD's in computers so hot, I've smoked RAM and melted plastic stand offs and supports. I still have a MB with melted CPU supports and a video card with melted ICs, both are still functional. As for the Hard drives from those computers? They're taking life easy in simple PC's around the house.
But X refuses to consider any experience other than his own. It's a dead end argument. Just point out the facts then let him stew for a while.
