Hearing the 7200RPM HDD on my 15" top-end machine too. Thinking about returning the machine and get the larger, but slower 5400RPM harddrive. In some months, if the price are lowered, I'll buy a larger SSD and replace the HDD totally.
Can you please post wether it's a 13" or 15" and wether you're using 5400RPM or 7200RPM? I hope it's only the 7200RPM that is annoying, and the 5400RPM is pretty much silence.
To cancel out the sound of the HDD, I have to boost the fans to around 3500RPM, so I would say it's pretty loud and annoying when sitting in a room for myself.
