I am soon to purchase a new MPB. Are the stock 7200's any noiser or hotter than the 5400's?

I have a 7200 in my MBP, stock, but circa 2008. It seems a tad louder, but heat seems about the same.

I retrofitted a 7200 rpm drive to my 2007 MBP and noticed no added noise or heat.

We need a sticky for this topic. People ask all the time. I have both 7200 RPM and 5400 RPM OEM drives for my MBP and there is no noticeable difference.
