How quiet is the computer?

It was quiet within a normal home environment. If you have special requirements, you'd better get input from someone who uses it with no background noise.

This I it is not silent unless it is cooled properly. It is standalone. You will need a pc to connect to it and set it up, but it runs its own OS

It's no louder or quieter than any other PC workstation. I only really notice the sound when I log into the unit, reboot it, or access files on it.

It is quiet, but I would suggest buying another cooling unit as this one is under powered.

Mine is extremely quiet! I did go into the settings (via the browser) and set it on quite mode to achieve this level of quietness.

Definitely. I have owned it for... several months now (6 maybe) and it is excellent. It is quiet enough that I have perhaps used it to catch up some some Minecraft (click-click-click!) at the campus library.I've never tested in a truly noiseless environment (a/c, coworkers, etc...), but for me it's effectively silent.

Mine was pretty quiet most of the time. On startup the cpu fan would be a bit loud but it would quiet down again after a few seconds. I had it for two years, never annoyed me. I had the core i5 3330, gtx 660.

I think that it is very quiet. I only use it to backup my system and it is not on all of the time. I have not noticed any noise.

It's very quiet. It only makes noises when you carry your laptop with your right on the fan.

It's pretty quiet with the fan running. It's virtually silent with the fan turned off.

I'm not sure if I can truly answer this question 100%. I have the diskstation in my office room. In all, this diskstation does not make much noise when it's running. I actually don't even notice it running when I'm in my office. But when it's idling, you don't hear anything since the hard drives are not running. And the fan is very quiet.

The fans are quiet but I also have a ssd that helps keep the noise to a minimum. Some of the fans that came with the case not longer work :-/

Very quiet. The only time you will hear it is when it clicks on or clicks off.

It's relatively quiet. It's not a mechanical keyboard so it's not that loud. It's average I'd say.
