You said CP341, right?  The first hard drive I ever bought was a CP340,
which was the SCSI version...used it in an external case with an Apple DMA
SCSI card (eventually replaced with a rev. C RamFAST) in my IIe (which is
now a IIGS).  It doesn't work anymore (it was a refurb when I bought it),
but when it was working, I don't recall ever hearing head noise from it. 
Even putting your ear near the drive didn't turn up any noise beyond the
spinning platters.

(The 4.3-GB Barracudas in my server are about the exact opposite...the
thrashing noise from those drives is LOUD.  They still seek faster than many
newer drives, though...in a RAID, low seek time is a Good Thing.)
