Barracudas are generally quite loud :) Actually, any hard disk running at 7200 RPM or faster is prone to the whining you describe.

Depending on how much you want quiet, it might be worth it to get an ACARD SCSI-to-IDE adapter ($99 or so) and use it to hook up a PowerBook 2.5" IDE hard disk. Now *that* will be quiet :)
