The buffers buffer 24/7. I just turned everything off in the room so it was completely silent, it was not until I opened my cabinet and put my head into it that I could hear any noise what so ever, and then that noise was the HDD heads seeking (not the drives spinning). Unless it was kept on your bedside table or you used it as a pillow you would never hear it.
