“Is the Hard Drive loud? I recently bought an HP laptop with similar specs, but unfortunately the hard drive is making an annoying sound, and the guys at geek squad said that the sound is normal, and it depends on the model of the laptop for the sound of the hard drive to be different. So basically I was wondering...is the hard drive with this laptop noisy? For instance, does it make a screechy noise that's very noticeable. I find the hard drive noise to be rather odd because my old HP laptop didn't make a noise like that. A ton of people have recommended Asus to me, so that is why I'm interested in this laptop. Thanks to anyone that can help! P.S. Here's the HP laptop that I bought- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-envy-2-in-1-15-6-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i7-12gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-natural-silver-black/3008123.p?id=1219567192721&skuId=3008123”

No, the laptop is super quiet, even when I'm pushing it hard while gaming or streaming. There's no noticeable noise at all - a few times I've thought it turned itself off, actually, but the screen had just gone off, the laptop was still on.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I exchanged/returned the same HP model (though 8GB not 12GB) - twice! I went to this one (asus Q551L) on a friend's recommendation and it is super quiet - very happy with this choice.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just Bought the Q551LN-BB17T09 and the hard drive and fan are very quiet and the panel below the keyboard stays cool. Have not used the dvd drive yet. This unit is quieter and cooler than any Dell (2) or HP (3) I have owned.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not loud at all. Then again, I was use to a massive, loud tower and this laptop is quiet as a mouse to me. When intently gaming I have heard it speed up but its still barely noticeable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Dust Bunny, I bought the same HP and heard that noise, exchanged it, and still the same noise. Did you buy this computer or a different one that is less noisy?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
