Do you think my computer will be silent if I replace my HDD with a SSD? Actually, I realise thanks to Task Manager that only my HD is (most of time) 100% used when CPU and memory are only 10 to 15%. I have a i7 (8 cores) Toshiba computer. Thanks

As a general rule, no it won't make your computer silent. In general, unless you're dealing with 15k RPM enterprise hard drives, your fans are going to be noisier than your hard disk (if you have no fans though, and have a power supply that doesn't make any noise (a lot of cheap ones hum), it might make the system silent other than the keyboard and mouse).
An SSD will probably reduce the noise your system produces, and is likely a good investment for other reasons too (it will reduce your power consumption and most likely speed up your system).
