No, the faster drives you get nowadays are noisier so that is the wrong way to go. You will know the effect if you try to listen to a 15,000rpm SCSI drive, nobody would want that in the living room.I have no idea how the system works and how easy it is to put in another harddrive, but if you want to change drive you should try a notebook drive. These are typically slower - 4200rpm is common - and make a lot less noise. You will probably need a converter since the notebook drives use a smaller connector, but that is easy to get.
I used a notebook drive when I needed a machine (firewall) that was on all the time.
