Seagate barracudas, i think, are the best drives for quietness.
There was a time where i'd suggest Seagate, but the drives don't perform on par with Samsungs offerings and in tests ran by Anandtech (reputable) the Samsung was least audible and if i remember correctly a top performer.
how much are they compared to barracudas?
