WD Red 8TB - Too Loud for HTPC?

Hardware Hub Storage

I'm looking to get an WD 8TB Red drive to better handle my growing Plex library. I would be upgrading from a Seagate desktop grade 4TB model. Mini ITX case only has space for 1 - 3.5" drive. Can any current owners of this 8TB drive answer if the 5400RPM 8TB red drive is too loud for HTPC use?

Barely audible. I've got 2 in my plex server.
