Not multiple times at once, not particularly loud.. but noticeable, and louder than the general hard disc noise. Can hear it from the sofa, while for the hard disc noise I have to be right next to the box itself.

Hard disc noises vary, depending on how far the head has to move. As the drive gets older, the data will tend to become more fragmented, so requires more big head movements. Try putting something soft under the box feet, such as a cut up old mouse mat. (But don't block the vents)
