nope, putting the drive to sleep doesn't do the trick. the sound remains. 
Moreover I don't see how this "solution" was meant to work? Does the sound 
reappear when you wake up your disk or does it keep silent after a nice 
"onetime" sleep?

Still it doesn't explain why that sound is gone when disabling the whole 
acpi-system.

well thats true. as long as the disk is Not idle, the noise is gone. But 
returns right after.
