SP1614N is the drive I've got too. Its unbelievably quite. I've heard some complaints about vibrational noise, but I don't get that. I think it has to do with my 8 year old steel case. For a while I unpluged my CPU fan (500 Mhz P3) and the whole system was inaudible. That configuration wasn't compatible with mythcommflag though.
