When you are in an office, library, or any environment where background noise exists, the fan of a computer is not a big deal. When in an environment that the fan is annoying, it does not take much to hear something else when it is off : hard drive.
My notebook has an old Hitachi drive. It clicks, it is slower than my usb key and well it is old. I am thinking of switching it to a 5400rpm, 4 times the capacity and I do not hear a single click when in use. However the idle spin sound is a little louder. The best compromise would be a SSD, but it would cost more than my computer.
