It does seem excessive. Smart tests have been inconclusive at thia
point, and I replaced the disks with new-ish (approximately 7000 hours)
disks a while back.

Well, 7000 hours back, to be exact.    :)

Weird that all of the activity lights light up when it makes that noise.

What I really need to do is make a server space in my storage area. It's
a little humid in the winter, but cool. I have shelving in there, power
- just need ethernet to there. that'll let me move the NAS somewhere
where I can't hear it, allow me to get a proper server, and do video
calls from my office without background noise.
