Yes, mechanical drives do generate a fair amount of noise. Having SSD would eliminate the sound. Or a mixture of both. SSD for systems and hot data and HDDs for archives.Regards the fans you can get a Silent fan like this one for Synology https://nascompares.com/answer/quite-fan-upgrade-for-synology-nas/They also make some for Qnaps.I hope this helps.
