I know if you scroll down to the accoustics/dBA section under the environmental part it says 20 when idel and 36 when seeking.. I don't know enough about dBA to tell you how loud that would be.
There's a reddit thread here
https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/...ence_14tb/
where one person says " Red Plus is significantly quieter than Red Pro and also runs cooler. Downside is they are slightly slower than Red Pro, only go up to 14tb and are only recommended for use up to 8 drives."
This is all stuff I just found randomly on the internet hopefully someone with actual experience with Red Pro and Plus can jump in and give you a more definitive answer instead

Total change of subject but does noise from a hard drive bother you? There are some computer users who won't accept anything other than a whisper quiet PC that doesn't make any noise and who cares how expensive it gets !
I bring this up only because with that fan noise I"m not as likely to notice it anyways but I can still at times hear the mechanical hum and whine of the Seagate exos drive as it powers on and off and the crackling sound (during say the first few seconds of use) of the seagate firecuda ...the firecuda sound spooked the heck out of me at first and online tech support forums had varying opinions as to whether or not it's normal but a year later the firecude is working fine without any problems and some have ventured the opinion that 8 TB drives are just noisy.. as others have mentioned on here the 14 TB drives will probably be noticably louder than say the WD Red Plus drives..
I bring this up only because I wish someone would have warned me so I wasn't freaking out over the sounds my 8 TB drives were making back when I first bought them
All larger WD Drives are 7200 RPM. Huge stink a few years ago and why you see 5400 RPM "Class" on spec sheets.

May want to check this news on WD NAS disks

On the other hand my Seagate Exos and (surprisingly) my Seagate Firecuda , both 8 TB, are serving me well as file storage drives (I know I know, not their intended use but they were cheap and on sale
So I've had good experiences with both manufacturers really

Sometimes when something seems too good to be true, there is a reason. If this was sold by Amazon, sure, I would consider it, but a store with 34% 1 star reviews most talking about how the "new" item was really used? No thanks.
