They are not quieter. The lower density air means the frequency of the sounds are higher pitched. Human ears are more attuned to higher frequencies than lower frequencies so human perception makes it sound louder even though it likely isn't much different. Think how much more irritating high frequency coil whine is in a graphics card than low frequency drone of the fans. That's sort of the difference between air (mostly nitrogen) and helium. It's not that extreme though. I don't have a problem with mine but when that head starts moving, you know it. The best way to describe the difference is "sharper" or "crisper."
I had a WD blue 5400rpm 6tb, and now a WD Helium 18tb 7200rpm. it
is quieter. The slower air-filled one makes a constant hum even without seek/read. while the helium is only audible while writing (which is 5% of the time we use a hard disk for)
You can see the noise graph I recorded here:
Can't be, it was working last night. I played Forza so sipped enough gpu wattage too with no problem. My PSU was 650w and I'm using 3900x with gtx1070 (250w together) The room went dark, I think it's more about what happened inside the PSU than the PC maybe the additional power draw from the...

There's no noise to begin with for it to become sharp or crisp. it is only writing that well yeah, becomes crisper. let me emphasis, reading does not make that much noise.
human voice may become sharper, but a platter spinning won't sound like this car:
I probably had a 4gb hard disk when I was playing this.
Why does anyone even need 8TB+ Of storage in your PC what the hell are you storing on it.
I have about 3TB and less than half is Steam with a ton of free space.
Don't uninstall anything. Ever.
mine is 7tb filled. reasons to fill fast might be:
you have a panoramic 360° camera attached to a drone taking 4k footage of a city
you have LiDAR data of jungles in Amazon and you keep track of arboreal growth. that's satellite imagery with laser pointing at each tree showing how tall and fluffy they are, what is their trunk size, and you have all of that data updates again for next season to track growth, NDVI, DBH, etc...
machine learning needs data, say you have 70000 pictures of coffee leaves and each time you make any segmentation or enhancement, you duplicate the database with pre-processed data.
realistic 3d models of vegetation takes space, I have an Allium with 65000 polygons.
you may have a camera bigger than a game console with its lens bigger than the camera
(I don't have, just an example)
You have 15000 rock models with 4k texture
(I have)
3TB is nice but there are plenty of justifiable reasons to have more.
Don't know why would anyone buy a 3tb hard disk, that costs less than fruit jellies I eat over a week
