Do you have such a disk?

The question was asked for a Seagate disk some time ago, but we never
came to examining if the disk support acoustic management.

Did you try Hitachi Feature Tool?

If you cannot find a tool, we can examine it from the beginning, and
maybe make a tool "shutup" or similar. In that case initially download
Findpart for DOS version 4.36 at

http://inet.uni2.dk/~svolaf/utilities.htm

do from boot to a DOS floppy:

findpart ide ext fp.txt

and see if the disk is listed in fp.txt.

This would also apply to users with Seagate disks without documented
acoustic management support.
